Head Studs

a friend of mine has a 2008 6.4 with 195k miles on it and his oil cooler went out on it. so the plan is to do the egr and dfp delete with a programmer for the engine light with a 70hp tune in it. the question is, should he be worried about his head bolts with a 70hp tune?

If your not pulling the cab to do the cooler and he has no head gasket problems I wouldn't worry about it.

It should be alright, but every tune is different.
Have to try it and see what the boost does.

If you're over 40 regularly, I would at least plan on doing studs.
