Welcome to FTE. Take care of it and it will take care of you! Don't waste your money on a CAI. The best intake for under 500 rwhp operation came stock with the truck. I love my MBRP turbo back. Kits with 4" downpipes can be a real PIA to install. EGR delete and head studs make these motors very reliable. SCT w/ custom tuning is the only way to go with the 6.0L and Torqshift. Oil changes every 5k and fuel filters every 10-15k depending on fuel quality. Drive it hard to keep the vanes on the turbo clean and enjoy
