Newbie but want to know if im on the right track

[stroke6.0]

so i have a 06
mods.
egr delete
arp studs
new oil cooler
afe stage 2si intake
4"mbrp turbo back
Garrett PowerMax GT3788VA Turbo Kit
new fuel pump stock
sct flash
edge juice with attitude

i think thats it over all in maintenance and some of those parts ive spent around 9 grand this year on fixing this truck.
i put on around 40 to 60 thousand miles a year on it.

i do have a little fun ive pulled it once in a truck pull but im not out to make tons of power

am i on the right track? are there any other things i can do to help out? i was reading about the 6.4 banjo bolt... things like this that help. i pull a 16' dump trailer almost every day for work. so it gets used as a truck every day.

also i am looking for a cheap lift.... any advice it is the fx4 but would like it to sit about 2 to 3" taller all around.

thanks a lot for the help everyone! I hope my mechanics are pointing me in the right direction..............

All that and you didn't do all the updated parts? Standpipes, dummy plugs, STC fitting, turbo oil feed and drain tubes? Also don't use the edge for a programmer just use it for the monitor and NEVER change the power level from 0 to any other power level on the edge while you have a tune flashed to your PCM from the SCT tuner.

yeah lots of money that incuded alot of other stuff i dident list all the turbo lines were replaced when turbo was done. new injectors, new oil feed lines. theres alot of stuff that was done and this also included 2 sets of tires. i just pulled up my quickbooks report for my truck and thats the number it gave me.

also where i got my tuners from said it was ok to stack the tunes??? not true? when im pulling my trailers the edge is stock and my sct is in the tow mode.

Whoever told you that is literally retarded. Don't ever do that to your 6.0l.

NEVER stack tunes in your 6.0. Do you have a custom tow tune? If not that's the next upgrade I'd look into.

For 2-3 inches I'd look at a level kit and some blocks out back

you should fire your mechanics, sell the edge to some poor sap on craigslist for $150 and put that into a monitor. I would recommend one to you but as long as it monitors the vitals it don't really matter what one you get. Some do more than others and cost more as a result. Then i would sell the turbo and get a mtw stage 1, Just because from whats been said about it, its that good . If your towing a dump trailer everyday i wouldn't go to crazy though from where your at. 6.0s love to leave owners stranded. If its the work vehicle you definitely want reliability over awesomeness. Just my opinion. Also check the vendor sites for a level kit for your truck, find one that fits the budget and boom 2-3" of lift. Vendors should take good care of ya!


What would I be doing right now if I didn't have an iPhone?
