So I just bought this truck and I am in the process of finding out if has had the studs replaced It has a 5th w hook up and has deff been used for towing and is at 140k mi so Im crossing my fingures that it has already been done. Please keep the new terminology coming

I'm in the same boat as you are. New to diesels but very familiar with turbos. I have an early 03 with the same mileage as yours. Mine runs great, has never spewed, the Oasis report is clean, and the EGR cooler has never failed. The only issue I've had is ball joints which I replaced, a leaky sunroof, and I think I'll be replacing the oil cooler after a near overheating on a very hot day day towing a steep grade. I would suggest if you are not going to mod it to at least get an Edge Insight to monitor oil/coolant temps and boost under load. If you have an early build date you have the Garrett EGR cooler also that doesn't seem to fail like the later ones.
