Standard Maint. Items for 6.0

[freestroker]

A co-worker recently purchased an 05 PSD. He was asking me about my truck (00) and I started telling him things he may want to check, parts to have on hand, etc. Then I realised his truck has the 6.0. What are some of the typical problem areas to pay attention to on the 6.0? For example the 7.3 has issues with the CPS. I don't even know if the 6.0 has one.

Thanks

I carry a set of fuel filters in case I get a load of dirty fuel, oil filter so I never have to use a "Will Fit" (which won't), spare fuses and a bottle of Ford centane/perfomance enhancer. Also carry a quart of motor oil and a quart of Mercon SP Transmission fluid (The mercon SP is a must as Mercon compatible fluid is not compatible with Mercon SP) Tools include a metric socket set, cresent wrench, pliars screwdrivers and heavy duty booster cables (to start other brands). (Never had to use anything to fix the truck)

Run the truck at operating temp REGULARLY. Exercise at least every 2 weeks. Run it for about an hour to get it warm & fluids moving. The turbos are finicky and like to be exercised so they don't rust up.

Regular maint. good oil ever 5 to 7k. No problems.

Might want to add a coolant filter. I hear those will usually prevent most EGR issues if not all of them.
