preventative work

I have a 6.0 that I am doing preventative work on. Ive done the EGR delete and an updated oil cooler from Bulletproof. The next step is my headstuds. Ill be pulling my engine for this. I was wondering if there should be anything else I should look at/replace while I have my engine out. Ive heard I should replace my stc fitting and dummy plugs but from what Ive researched, some dummy plugs dont need to be replaced and some do. I cant figure out what my truck has. Also my truck makes a high pitch whine 2 or 3 seconds after I start it. Im thinking it has to do with my HPO system but im not for sure. Does anyone have any ideas?

What year is your truck? Different years have different things you may want to update.

I though it was good form to at least replace the seals on the dummy plug and standpipe (don't forget the standpipe)
