Default 2006 5.9 mega cab

New to the diesel game bought this truck a month or so ago with 131,000 miles on it. It has a built trans with a lock torque converter in it. Also has a quadzilla runner on it with the *** for different stages. Just wondering what I need to keep an eye on and what I need to do to make sure everything is in perfect working order. I love my truck and I just want to make sure I do everything my pocket book will let me do so she will last me a long time

He already has 2 diesel trucks this was his back up to pull his grocery trailer with. He really wanted to keep it but he got right on price and I took it. Only thing wrong is a few paint chips here and there. But everything mechanical is sound I think. I mean it is a 10 year old truck I think I got a really good deal for it

Get gauges to keep an eye on temps- trans, pyro, boost minimum. Ditch quadzilla and tune with EFI! Built trans is great- beware of the HP big it's an expensive diesase!
