What chip

I have a 02 f250 superduty crew cab 4x4 with 121,000. That gets 13 miles per gallon, and I've heard a chip will help on the fuel mileage, my question is what chip to get, I've already installed a bully dog RFI air filter system. Also will I need to straight pipe my rig with adding a chip. Thanks in advance....

No you will not need to straight pipe your exhaust. However you should upgrade to at least a 4 or 5" system to keep the egt's in check. DP-Tuner is the only way to go. I would sell my truck if I had to drive it without their chip.

One of Tony Wildman's Chips has my vote (www.totaldieselperformance.com). Just awesome, especially the NTWITA setting.

Anyhow, like said above definitely do the guages first and upgrade the exhaust to 4". The guages will keep you from hurting anything and the exhaust will help drop your EGT's a bit.
