I started taking the 6.0 LS apart today. I bought the engine/transmission as a unit out of the same donor truck. The engine has 163,000 miles on it so before I install it, both are going to get complete rebuilds.

I have to say that from the initial tear down the engine still looks pretty good. There was no water in the oil, the plugs looked great, none of the gaskets look burned or leaking.
