Angry Things to check/replace

Hi everyone,
I'm new here, but I've been reading all the posts, and I am very impressed with all the info, etc. that is shared here.
I have a 2004 F250 6.0. I installed the MBRP 4" stainless exhaust system, and a AEM brute force air filter system.
The truck has about 43,000 miles, so my question is what should I be looking at, cleaning replacing, etc. on this puppy.
I am probably going to go with spartan on a tuner next year when i can afford it.
I pull a 37 foot 5th wheel toy hauler, weight is aroung 13-14k.
any input here would be great, I really do wish i could take advantage of Spartan's Xmas special, who knows maybe I'll just go ahead and get the tuner and pay the price at home with the little women :-0

Change that AEM air filter and replace it with the stock one before you dust your turbo and pay out of pocket for that repair. The stealer will not cover the turbo if it fails because it's toasted becasue of dirt!!

Do headstuds too if you are running a programmer!
