What else should I do?

A few months ago I started a thread about replacing my oil cooler. Someone on here told me I should also replace a few other parts while I'm doing the oil cooler. Something like the dummy plugs or rail plugs or something around that line. I have tried to serch the threads buti can't find it anywhere. So I will be taking my truck into a dealership next week and I want them to replace everything everything all at once so I don't have to redo in another 20000 miles. I have a 2005 f250 with 125000 miles and I have it bone stock just a edge insite.

Any help would be awesome thanks

I'm sure they were talking about stand pipes and dummy plugs. They are relatively common high pressure oil system leak areas. They are under the valve covers and the mechanic will be relatively close when he does the coolers. The STC fitting is also commonly changed "while your in there" and will involve removing the high pressure oil pump and cover in addition to the other work I mentioned.
If you want to see some pictures I did a thread about this when I did mine. It's here:https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...many-pics.html
