Alright, got rid of the 7.3 and picked up a 06 6.0 KR. I know the basics with the 6.0 but Im needing to know what brands to use for studs, EGR delete, tuner, ect. Maybe some of the venders can tune in and give me some insight. Might be looking for some kind of bundle to get started 'fixin' the new pickup.

Arp studs, stock oil cooler, welded egr cooler or delete, stock head gaskets. Then the small stuff. Coppers and orings, turbo seal kit, intake manifold gasket kit

If you really want to bulletproof it I would do ARP studs, oem headgaskets, new oil cooler since youll be in there doing the studs, EGR delete i would highly recommend either RCD egr delete or a absolute egr delete from powerstroked162 all of steves work is top notch! Also I would address some common issues on the 05-07 6.0's upgraded stc fitting, upgraded stand pipes which come with oem headgaskets, and I would also install the upgraded dummy plugs. As far as a tuner definitely go with a SCT with custom tuning. PM me if you have any questions or need any help with anything.

Gaskets, oil cooler, Egr delete.SCT x and some gauges. Then injectors and a turbo.

Youll be just fine with ARP's, heck mine have been reused 4 times now on my truck with no issues.

There are a few really good tuners out there, I have been getting mine from Matt @ Gearhead, some others are Eric @ Innovative diesel , Chris @ Truck source diesel , Vivian @ quick tricks , Doug@ GoGo....I am sure there are more but those are the names I see in the 6.0 section the most.
