oil residue
Noticed this today when at dealer checking on truck (see my previous thread) the cooler tube in the pic has some oil residue in it. Is this a tell teil sign of problems to come? Exhaust (turbo out) tube is black and dry looks normal to me. Any ideas?

Probably normal. Every 6.0 will have some amount of oil residue in the hot air CAC tube unless the crank case ventilation has been modified to vent to atmosphere. The crank case ventilation on the 6.0 vents into the intake tube just prior to the turbo. As a result, oil residue gets deposited in the CAC tube.
