6.0 bullet proofing

I have a 07 f350 with 200k. I am about to go in and replace the injectors,turbo and the fan clutch. I was thinking while it was already tore apart why not bullet proof it. Does anyone see any down or concerns bullet proofing something with 200k. I hardly drive the truck and use mainly to tow my boat. I’d like to add a tuner for more towing power. Thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated

I don't see an issue bullet proofing it, even at 200,000 miles.

Any reason you are replacing the injectors and turbo?

You'll probably see some more and better answers if you post over in the "1999 to 2016 Super Duty" forum you'll probably see a lot of great advice.

Welcome aboard!

Better yet, go here for the 6.0 diesel forum. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum107/

It has been running rough for a couple months. And then it started dying after about 5 miles. I drained the oil to find roughly 2 gallons of diesel in it. Most likely has a cracked injector. Since I bought the truck it has been throwing an under boost code. It never affected how the truck ran or not that I could tell so i left it alone. But now since we have to tear into the engine I figure I would replace the turbo. Thanks for answering and sharing other threads
