No cops haha, I wasn't towing anything, and I don't have a scan guage, but everything on the guages looked good. It does it all the time from when I start it to the time I shut it off. Towing the trailer to the races tomorrow and am a little worried about it, but it runs good thought.

You really need to get some kind of Monitoring and watch EOT, ECT, too many sensors to mention ( a lot ) when the truck is idleing or even at driving speeds do you hear a whistling or tea kettle sound that could be from the Turbo and even CAC boots the unisome ring in the Turbo may be sticking and splits in the CAC boots make that sound too , you have 4 boots to look at
1. Turbo inlet
2. across the front of fuel filter
3 one under each Battery.

Depends on which end the sound is coming from...
I drove my neighbors truck, F-350 V-10 and it is getting new ring and pinion bearings now. He didn't notice the noise until I made him aware of it.....

I would look for any oil build up on the boots and inspect around that area.. do you have a stock air filter or aftermarket?

Stock air filter, and I do see some oil on the top of the motor, looks like it is blowing out of somewhere, like a fine mist.

I have been searching the forums because I have a low pitched "wooooo" siren type sound that is definitely turbo related. Although I haven't done much troubleshooting yet, one person wrote that their siren/howl/groan/woooo (not a whistle though) sound was due to a loose up-pipe connection. The metal gasket between the two joints was creating the sound, kind of like when you put a blade of grass between your two thumbs and blow through them to make the grass whistle. And so the metal gasket was acting like a reed.
Just a thought.

Thanks for all the responses, I took it to the mechanic today and he checked out all the hoses, they were all good, and said that the turbo probably had some surface rust on the vains since I haven't been driving it much lately. Thanks again

Well ya bess getout and drive that 6.0 like you stole it
, Turbos don't like to sit around, specially during rainy season , they liked to be worked at most, may need a real good cleaning , you could try a few WOT but if it's real bad you would benefit from the cleaning anyway. good luck and let us know how it goes
