Things to add
Hello everyone,
I have a 2012 F250 6.2L truck. I was wondering if i could get some opinions for things to add to help with MPG and HP etc. I have been reading about intakes, plugs, chips etc. If anyone could help with some suggestions about which ones are best for this particular truck i would appreciate it.

Get the SCT X3 tuner with custom tunes from Mike at 5 Star Tuning. See link below for details.

As far as intakes go, it did not help me, or at least not enough to justify the cost. I do really like the sound it makes though. I have both and the economy tune will help the most. I keep my tires around 70psi and that seems to give me a little more MPG's compared to 60 while running empty. In the summer I keep them 80/70 while towing. Don't mash the go pedal and that will help with the millage a bit too.

Maybe, it depends on how nice your dealer is. If you go right by the book then yes.

Your right foot, load, and frontal area has the most impact on mpg...
a good tune MAY increase mpg, but the payback is too long to warrant...
BUT, I still tune every one of my vehicles
I didn't buy them for mileage !

That is the best advice you can get. I love my tune and intake, but will not pay for it through gas savings. The exhaust will give you the best return but sill will take a long time since they around $1300.
