Glad you like it also, you will find that the majority of people that trash the 6.0 have never owned one.

First off I think that this thread should be made into a sticky for the simple fact of a Cummins owner saying

Lol. Anyway back on subject, I recommend that you change out the oil cooler when you do the EGR delete/upgrade (whichever your extended warranty and state laws will allow) since it has the same horrible internal design. A factory replacement will be fine since you have a coolant filter to keep it from clogging up again. Definitely all of the monitoring equipment (EOT, ECT, Fuel Press, EGT, Trans Temp) and make sure you stay meticulous on the maintenance. A personal suggestion is a cool down timer, especially considering your towing (even though the weight is low) to make sure that you don't cook the turbo, I prefer to not sit in the truck staring at the EGT gauge smoking a cigarette in the parking lot until she's ready (first check with local laws pertaining to unattended idling though, CA has a 5 minute limit, some states might not allow it at all)

Welcome to the dark side!
