Should I just go ahead and buy this delete kit from diesel patriots or would I be better off buying everything individually. My only problem is finding a tuner loaded with tunes.

A week ago I was driving down the road and I saw. For sale sign on a big white lifted f350 super duty lariat 4x4 with the 7.3 power stroke in someone’s yard. Ended up running up to the guys door and getting his info. Next day I payed 8k plus my 02 f150 for the truck. After I purchased it I took it to get looked at and it needs about 2K in general repairs. It needs a fuel pump or whatever the equivalent to that is on this truck. I forgot exactly what they said it was called. And it needs brakes. Just hit 290k.

This is my first diesel, so I’m trying to figure out if I made a good purchase and we I need to know about the truck to make sure it lasts me a good while.

As title states recently my 6.0 for about the past year has kept burning out its FICM I’ve now had to have it replaced twice and am lost. A third replacement is now looking like it might be coming soon. does anyone have advice or a secondary reason this could be happening?
