Which kit to git?
With the SGII on and the FICM fixed, I see my deltas are terrible. It also has an oil leak where the rocker carrier sits on the head. I am looking at Performance Machine's kits. Do I forget about the leak and just get the oil cooler for $250; The oil cooler/EGR delete for $540 or break down and spend $1200 for all gaskets, studs, EGR delete and oil cooler? Momma's gonna throw a fit either way. I'm thinking about the cooler now and the rest later. I want to get that in now before I move my daughters back to college in a week and a half. I won't have time to do it all by then. Any thoughts or a consensus?

Depending on whats going on with your truck and how you use it should determine what route you take. I assume you have high deltas? Puking/losing coolant? White smoke? What are your symptoms.
I am doing Head Gaskets, EGR/Oil Cooler, and a Fan Clutch.

So far just high deltas, as in 25. No other symptoms - no white smoke or degas puking. I'm very **** about being proactive on repairs. I'd rather fix possible problems now than on the road or when I need the thing.

if you haven't blown head gaskets, that will keep them unblown.
