In my opinion, getting some gauges to keep an eye on things is priority. A Scan gauge, Edge Insight or cts, DashDaq or anything like that(what ever yor wallet can stand) to monitor what's going on under the hood. Disregard the factory gauges for temp and pressures, they are idiot lights that look like gauges. If you want to hot rod it with tunes or tow a lot, head studs are a good idea. Aftermarket exhaust sounds cool and can make a little horsepower. I like the idea of an aftermarket coolant filter but to be honest, mine hasn't picked up much trash.
A note on Oasis reports. Some dealerships have gotten picky about giving them out, even requiring you to own the truck before giving you one. Also, if you get a chance to look over their shoulder while they are on the computer, on the bottom right of the page it says "click here for full warranty history" the first page may show nothing, or very little, that second page is the full story. I agree on the CarFax also. They can have a lot of info.
Just a heads up on the turbo, if you plan to use this truck just on the weekends the turbo is likely to get a little sticky. The variable vane design is prone to corroding on the unison ring if it sets much. Not an expensive fix to pull and clean the turbo but you'll likely have to do it every couple years or so if the truck is driven infrequently.

There is also a thread that has many more Xgauges.
This one gives operating values to check your engine with.

If this is the same ex, then he has already been given the info as to what it can be used for ............. not much willingness to learn its value IMO
