04 ugrades for engine longevity

I have a stock 04 Lariat with 160k. I just ordered the MBRP 4" TB no cat exhaust. What other upgrades could I do to make sure I get 300k out of this truck? Runs strong still but thinking long term.

Add some kind of lube to the fuel
Delete the EGR and cooler
reroute the CCV to somewhere other than the intake........... call it "atmosphere"

lots of love.

As mentioned + Coolant filter and the Three "F's" Filters, Fluids, Fuel. Use the right ones and change them religiously...and you're on the right path to taking your 6.0L from 160K to 300K. Check out many members sigs...you'll get some ideals.
