Head gaskets

I have heard along the way that there was a redesign in the 6.0 PSD in 06. Is this correct? Or is it going to be something that I will need to be concerned about down the road. I am not planning on boosting the power up too much at all. If anything just planning on getting a tuner with an economy mode, on top of the exhaust and intake that is already in place. Does anybody know if this head gasket upgrade?
THANX

They have redesigned the head gaskets but I believe the head bolts are still torque to yield. IMO not the brightest idea on a turbo diesel!

I believe that the redesign was actually in 05, but the weakest link is the factory bolts that they use. Most people on here upgrade to studs(ARP studs in to exact), however, they usually wait til there is a reason to go in there and replace them(warped heads etc.).
