Default Looking at a 08 6.7

Hey guys, i'm new to the Cummins world and was looking to purchase one. First off the truck i'm looking at is a 08 3500 Dually with the following mods S&B cold air kit...EGR and DPF delete...XRT tuner...4 inch turbo back exhaust with 127k miles on the clock. If I decide to buy it I have to fly and drive it back. What all should I look for? He said the tranny was replaced at 100k miles. Any info would be super helpful.

So if I stud it with ARP's it will be fine then? I won't have to pull the cab will I?
