Getting Head Gaskets and Studs

I have a '05 with 141,000 Miles. Its been pushing coolant out of the degas bottle and over heating.

I have a local guy that will do the studs, gaskets egr delete oil cooler fuel pressure regulator, stand pipes stc connector t stat oil and fuel filters and anti freeze..for $3000.

Is there anything else I should have him do while he has the truck apart?

Anything simple that will help performance and reliability?

Thanks

Just make SURE he uses OEM headgaskets and NOT Black Onyx/ Victor Reinz or any other aftermarket headgasket.

Have the heads checked out while they are off the engine. Better safe than sorry.

Do I need head gaskets now, or can I wait a bit?
