Hey OP, I would NOT have the dealer do it, they charge WAY too much. I would have South East Powersports off of Lucket Road do it. I'd also do APR Studs and Grade C gaskets while your there. Then I'd do a LBZ Turbo Mouth Piece to avoid the over heating issues the 05s have. Once that's done you should be good. The 04.5 and 05 LLY's have a occasional HG issue.
PM me if you need any other real help. I'm local to ya as well.
Sounds like the BEST suggestion the OP has received in the seven page post! If I where you OP I would PM him!
Or buy the long block for $4100.00
2001-2006 6.6 DURAMAX DIESEL. LB7 - LLY - LBZ ENGINE CODE. LONG BLOCK ENGINE ASSEMBLY. 3YR / 75000 MILE WARRANTY.
You would still have about $1500+ on top of that though for labor and shop materials.
