Default good set up for towing heavy

my co worker has a 2006 f350 king ranch dually. he tows 20,000 to 25,0000 lbs of hay regularly. what is the best set up for this? it has a banks exhaust and air filter. he is planning on doing an egr delete, coolant filter, edge cts, maybe an intercooler(would it be benifical. Thanks for any info on a good set up for this. Also is there any tunes you can run towing this heavy?

the delete and headgasket... it could last a long time.. pretty much anything you do could be beneficial. ecspecially when it comes to taking stress off the engine more air more fuel = more *** = more problems

head studs before that gasket goes by by egr delete, cfm intake would work awesome sct is way better for the 6.0's and prolly some tranny work but if your doin that i would deff recommend gauges to monitor

hey thanks for the replies, yes we will be adding a edge insite for gauges. who's tunes specifically are good for towing that heavy (sct of course). he seems to be dead set on getting an intercooler, is it really going to help at all?...or would he be better with with a turbo upgrade?

On our 05 6.0, I blew the intercooler and a few months later blew the plastic pipe that ran from the intercooler to the intake
