I'm in the process of removing my heads. Don't need them anymore.
I have a 2011 3.5. 110k miles. No tune. While I'm in there any advice?

No use really, stock turbos are good-nuff, especially if you don't tune. Larger turbos take longer to spool so it'd just negatively impact the truck.

What about maintenance? Bearings seals. What wears out at 100k?

You can get core replacements if you'd like, or rebuild them yourself. There's no traditional bearing for the speed those little things spin at, they ride on an oil film. They're accessible from the wheel wells.

I was in the group at the time. It was a generic question about turbos and preemptive maintenance.
