At 250k, I would at the very least be doing a lower then 200k engine from a wrecker and invest some money into the cams and timing chain before you swap it. As well as any other preventive maintenance items while it is on the engine stand. Rear main, crank sensor, plugs etc. Thankfully these are relatively easy engines to swap. The main thing on these trucks are oil changes. Every 5k no matter if you run synthetic or regular.
