My brother and my oldest son both have similar trucks. IF the truck has pulled a trailer a lot then the tie rod ends and wheel bearings are over due. They both use their trucks heavy and they usually have to work on the front ends every 60-75k.
The 6.0 motor doe not have a history of being an oil hog. That being said my son's will burn oil IF you go much over 3500-4000 miles on the oil. It will not burn a drop in 3000 miles but will use a quart or two at 4000 miles. These 6.0 motors have the ability to really pull. So they can really heat up the oil.
Personally I would not own a Chevy 6.0 gas motor. They are FUEL HOGS!!!!! My son's will not get over 13 MPG empty driving easy. IF you lead foot it, even empty, you can get 10 MPG easy. Pulling a loaded trailer an you can easily get down to 5-6 MPG. I am not joking. We moved my son's in-laws. His Father-in-law has a tractor collection. We moved it to Tenn. where they built a retirement home. We split the loads up to where they weight about the same. We left an got to about Peoria and he had to get gas. Had to stop again at Crawfordsville IN. There we moved one tractor to my trailer. We weighed the trailers/trucks. I was at 33K and he was down to 22K. HE got up to 7-8 MPG and I was still getting 12-13 pulling 5 1/2 ton more. The next trip we left his truck at home and brought the semi and drop deck. It got 8-9 MPG weighing 55K. LOL

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
