+1 on Perkins and TAD. Some odd parts are expensive (God help me if I ever need an oil pan), but most are very reasonable. I replaced both water pumps and the lift pump last year for around $500 total if I remember. My 4.236 is a workhorse. Wouldn't trade it for anything except maybe a NA Deere 4045.
The above said, I'm told some 6.354 have issues with aluminum parts on the exhaust manifold and associated cathodic issues if the o-ring deteriorates. If I had a 6.354, I might consider replacing the manifold with an aftermarket one. Not cheap, but given the size, reasonably priced.
