6.7 DPF/EGR Delete
I bought a 2016 F250 almost a year ago and am looking to get better fuel mileage and power out of my engine. I have also heard that deleting these could increase the longevity of the engine. What are the pros/cons to doing this? Also, do y'all have any suggestions as to increase the life of the engine?

Finding delete support is very difficult after the Sept 2019 EPA announcements. Further, future support will be less and make things even more difficult. I think the days of deleting are over, unless you have the resources and know how to write your own calibration files.
If you are not having expensive emission issues currently, I'd leave the truck stock. The MPG gains are not incredible, +1 - 2 MPG.
There are certainly a few engine benefits to removing EGR but the government is making it clear emissions hardware is here to stay and will be more aggressive with enforcement. I just wish the current emissions hardware was more reliable for the high cost. Just wait until the USA adopts the GPF for GTDI vehicles.
Tow heavy and often on the highway or run a fuel additive that decreases soot production from non-premium diesel if it's a daily driver. There are several threads here discussing the additive topic. If your daily driving is a lot of highway, you'll likely have few problems.
For engine health, run a quality Ford approved oil, change it at 5,000-7,000 miles or so, do regular maintenance and external visual inspection from time to time. If you tow heavy, allow it to idle for a few minutes but keep idling to a minimum for daily driving type use as that causes EGR and DPF issues.

Not hijacking here. Come to the Club section where I'm going to comment on that further in the thread I started.
