Service

Alright since I got my truck a year ago I have taken in to the dealer for normal maintenance. Now since I have more time on my hands and familiar with a diesel engine I am going to do it myself. I know gasoline engines have a service guide that shows when this many miles you should do this to the truck. Does the 6.0L have something of that sort. I have approx. 74,000 miles on the truck and bout to do oil change, fuel filters, and maybe coolant. Is there anything else I should do at this mileage.

Cleaning out your EGR and the manifold would be a very good idea. Definetley do coolant flush and if you can install coolant filter.

The maintenance schedule I have always followed is in the owners manual on both PSD's I have owned.

I would also suggest doing the severe service intervals with regard to the 6.0. Rather or not you really need that service, I think the 6.0 "likes" that service interval.
