[QUOTE="!!!PainTrain!!!, post: 6893673, member: 18161"] The number one problem that you will have to worry about in an SCT tuned truck is EGR failure first then the headstuds letting go. I have had the SCT Xcal on my truck for 40K+ miles and studs are fine. My EGR system on the other hand is a complete failure and hopefully in the next few months will be completely deleted from the truck. My advice to you is follow what Lord Tauk is saying. Invest the extra money now to stave off alot of money later on. Invest in some gauges, my Bullydog outlook monitor is a POS. I would stick with some nice simple ones, Pyro, Trans, and Boost. Next would be an exhaust a 4" TB straight piped system can be had for under $300 and then a decent intake. I run the AFE Stg II on my truck and love it, its expensive but well worth it. I would also advise you to invest in a coolant filter to get rid of some of the gunk before it settles into the overflow bottle and creates problems later on down the road. As everyone has said before regular maintenance is the key to making these engines last and work for you. Change the fuel filters BOTH of them around every 10-15 thousand miles and the oil at no more than 5,500miles. And to Sprayed Pony: I toasted my HPOP, fuel pump, and three injectors to sludge build up. Truck sat at my house for a month and then wouldn't start up and had trouble staying running. The shitty part about the HEUI system is once one thing goes it starts a chain reaction and you start taking other parts with it unless the problem is corrected early enough. And a warning to the OP. You are better off upgrading parts that happen to wear out or fail than you are going back with OEM pieces. ARP studs are great and will last you until well over 600hp. I put a Spearco IC on mine because the EGTs were rising WAY too fast with the race tune from Eric at Innovative Diesel. To give you an example of just how capable these trucks are I was dead even from a 25-90mph roll race with an 05 EVO. Granted this was before the lift, tires, extra weight and running the Extreme Race file. Sorry for the long post but all the BS that gets thrown out about the 6.0s really chap my ass. If you take care of them they will take care of you. [/QUOTE]
