Coolant filter ASAP, then monitor engine oil temp and engine coolant temp to determine if an oil cooler rebuild is necessary, THEN go to the stuff you mentioned. There are also a few updated parts I would start collecting, updated stand pipes/dummy plugs, and updated STC fitting (appears to be an 05+ truck). There have also been updated turbo drain and feed lines.
