What's your question?
Read through the tech file on top of this page. Look around and read the posts and articles. There's alot, but will give you buku knowledge on the 6.0. If you have a particular problem, post it and the people on this forum will be glad to help.
Have a good one. Be Safe.
Dave.

No problems with my 6.0 yet but I’ve bulletproofed it also installed wicked wheel and tuner debating on what gears should I run with 37” tires

4.3's should serve you well.

Also add to your Youtube watching Srmastertech. >>> https://www.youtube.com/user/srmastertech/videos

DieselTechRon >>> https://www.youtube.com/user/DieselTechRon/videos

Both were very fine mechanics that were so helpful to the 6.0L world.
They are both very much missed.

Welcome! To start off on the right foot, bulletproofed is an overused and misrepresented term concerning a 6.0. There is simply no such thing as bulletproofed or gorillaproofed or dealerproofed, they are just terms that somehow got out there and it really have no guidelines. As stated, read the 6.0 Tech Folder up at the top of this section and watch the guys Yahiko highlighted in the previous reply. Stay away from Bill Hewitt’s crazy rants. If you ever need help on here we will all try our best to help you troubleshoot, we have all confided in each other, it’s what we do but we will ask for readings off a good monitoring device. 4.30s should be the sweet spot to get 37” rubber to spin like stock.

I wouldn’t mess with the TC unless I was going to “build” the transmission to beef it up.
