Default Retorque heads

I have about 11k miles on my turbo set up with the 6.0 ported truck heads using ARP head bolts. Curious if you guys retorque your heads at certain intervals?

I rechecked/retorqued my heads after the first couple heat cycles when the heads where installed. After the first couple of heat cycles when the heads are installed, there is no need to retorque them again.

The amount recommended by ARP with assembly lube. I believe 75 ft lbs.
