Bullet Proofing low mile 6.0 advice please

[Navigator]

Hi, new here but not to Ford diesels. I have a 99 7.3 I bought new in 98 it now serves as our work truck. I had a 06 6.0 that I didn't bulletproof and sold at 99k and I have an 12 6.7 as my current truck.
I just picked up a 06 6.0 KR with less than 7000 miles on it and I want to make it my daily driver, something super dependable, fun to drive and reliable with decent mileage for long road trips.
Something that I don't have to mess with than than routine maintenance.

Here are my tentative plans for it:

Did I read that right? 7000 miles on an 06?

Real nice. Hard to imagine the story of how an 8 year old truck only accumulated 6k miles. How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

I would do the Riffraff Diesel intercooler boots and I would do the bulletproof diesel water pump. I don't see a reason to do injector o rings at that low of miles.

Besides basic fluids save your money and just drive it. The "bulletproofing" mods in my opinion after owning 3 6 liters are a waste of funds on a good truck.

Get some gearhead tunes, exhaust, coolant filter, egr delete fresh filters and fluids and drive the SOB

Because once injectors are pulled the seals need replaced. One time use

Holy hell!!!! Under 7k miles! I thought my 06 was low with 54k when I bought it last year. Nice!

Definitely pull the turbo apart. The vgt turbos do not like when they sit for a long time. Clean the unison ring and use some anti seize on it when reassembling

I dont even want to think of the problems your going to have if yours is like mine. Mine is an 06 with 70k, I drive it about 3k a year since I have bought it, and I have replaced... The turbo, the ficm, the hpfp, the brakes and all the u joints. The dealer tells me it's because it sits to much. I made it a point to start driving it more this year.

I will be upgrading all of those things and driving it 10k or so a year.

Nice find man. My 06 has treated me very well for the way it got used.

Sounds like a nice build. Should be great for years.

Hpfp?

Hpfp?

Well obviously......hahaha

Well then... Lol.

I would send the ficm to swamps and I would use the egr delete, coolant filter and delta kit from Steve at absolute performance. Really no need for the new turbo bolts. You will get new bolts with the turbo drain gasket kit.
