Its turning into a real expensive job.
With tools and everything, I'm looking at about $3600.

Head Gasket/Oil Cooler/EGR Delete $1200
Oil Pump $800
OEM Head Gaskets (cause people said they were better than the ones I bought) $400
Air, Oil, and Fuel Filters/Oil/Coolant $220
IPC $200
IPC Connector $125
Topside Creeper $350
IPR Remover/Fuel Pressure Fittings/Remote Start Switch $150

Still better than the $8200 the dealer wanted and their price didn't include the oil pump, which would've been another $2000 on top. That's not highway robbery... that's highway rape.

In the 7 years I owned my 2000 F350 7.3L, I only ever changed the oil about ever 3-5000 miles and replaced the tires once around the 80000 mile mark. No other maintenance was ever performed. Ran like a clock. Aside from a mild cold surging issue (which may have been a leaky turbo seal), and the fact that it was two wheel drive, I'd still own it. Hindsight is always 20/20.
