Bought this truck new, never had a chip or programmer installed, I tend to over service and replace stuff, but since I use it for pulling my trailer all over the US I wanted to "Feel Good" about it.

I did the EGR water by pass, replaced the turbo with a New Ford "Coated" impeller unit, replaced all belts and hoses several times, flush coolant system every 2 years and refill with correct coolant, change oil filter every 3000 miles, replace all fuel filters on schedule, service auto trans and rear end fluid every 2 years etc., etc.

I had a weak injector which was replaced, IDM was replaced etc.

Best truck I have ever owned and I've had a couple in my 71 years.

If you take care of your 6.0 truck it will take care of you, if you don't it will bite you in the butt.
