higher mileage and mods

[ProjecT 9]

At what mileage do you guys think its necessary to start being more concerned or cautious about mods? My truck has been great and now has 83k on the clock. I have basic mods, CAI, innovative tunes, exhaust, studs, EGR delete. I dont push my truck hard and rarely pull a 25ft fishing boat.

That being said if all the 6.0 weakness's are addressed and at my current power level just using my truck as a daily driver, it "should" be ok passed 100k? Really just curious what you guys think.

Thanks,
Jon

im no 6.0 guy but on my 7.3 i started at 240k. I figured if you got the weaknesses fixed or thats a first thing then you should be fine

I agree. coolant filter

You're studded with an EGR delete. From what I've read those are the biggest things to do. You should think about a coolant filter and maybe the CCV mod I've been reading more and more about that. Beyond that your truck should last you a long long time.

Thanks for the input guys. I was hopeing to keep the truck for a good while so I'm glad to hear that.

Keep it man, you've got a sick truck. I've got 127k on mine.

I second the coolant filter.

I got a strange call this morning from Ford. They called b/c of a recent service I had on my truck consisting of a oil change and trans flush. Asked if the service was good, blah, blah. Whats weird is they asked me if I wanted a new truck and that my truck qualified for me to get some discount on a new superduty? Said I would get a great deal if I wanted b/c the local dealer wanted to push some new trucks through and whatnot.

Anyone else get a call like that? I'm sure its just a sales gimmick but wanted to see if it actually had any truth to it...?

my dealer still calls me all the time when they get a used diesel in. I made the mistake of giving the salesman my number when i was looking for a powerstroke
