2000 7.3 Excursion reliability

I have a 2000 7.3 Excursion will a little over 350,000 miles. It is completely stock. I want to make it as reliable as possible since it is getting up there in miles, but also adding a little power back to it. What would be the best upgrades/mods for reliability and also for a little more power?

How long have you owned it?

I've done most of the above, add injector cups, 4" exhaust, Motorcraft AIS severe duty air filter, Rotella T6 synthetic oil.
