I have my truck set up the way in my signature. Not looking for anymore power. Just wondering if there was anything else you guys would recommend for me to do in the way of reliability. Thanks!

Hello from Columbus!
Reliability wise your mods are pretty stout.
However these motors seem to live longer with better push rods and lifters, if your motor doesn't have them in already....There is a billet water pump now available from Bulletproof Diesel if that interests you, it replaces factory OEM plastic crap. I'd personally switch out that S&B Intake to a No Limit.
Modified Drop in Turbo's seem to do better than Batmo wheel drop in's....just personal preference. Also, if EGT's concern you, an inter-cooler from Mishi or Spearco or Alradco or Precision will definitely benefit the truck. Several companies sell nice SS or aluminized I/C piping as well to go with the I/C.

Truck runs good, just trying to keep it that way lol. Is doing a single turbo (s366) actually worth the money or no? I had one shop quote me about $4600 to install one. Does that sound high?

Also what kind of push rods and lifters do you recommend putting in it? Any idea how much that would be to have done ?

Valve train upgrades as in springs and pushrods from Midwest diesel, lifters from sideaction diesel, maxxforce rocker arm assembly's, coolant filter, billet water pump, and HD Pistons delipped if you wanted to go that far. And all the other suggestions posted were good ideas as well. Just my opinion of course

Are the Pistons really that necessary? Not looking to build a drag truck. Just daily driver

I have seen a lot of cracked 6.4 Pistons. I would say Pistons would be way more beneficial than a single turbo.

Mahle pistons any good? Do I just need the tops or connecting rods as well?

Hd pistons delipped and machined from Morgan is the route id go. Yea pistons is a hit or miss thing, even on stock trucks.
If you want full reliability, follow ncollins post. Midwest pushrods (lots of good brands to choose honestly). Side Action Diesel lifters, get delipped and coated pistons from midwest, sinister coolant filter, BPD billet water pump, I'd do a set of workstock compounds personally and since you have a mishi radiator I'd match an intercooler to it

Iv read the stock cam profile is what adds to the stress on the rockers and a upgraded one helps reduce that.
Could be wrong but that's my understanding.

Ramps are too steep, that's what trashes the valve train.
What trashes the valve train is poor lubrication. Lifters and pushrods and springs have poor lubrication. The whole cylinder heads in general lack it
