So I got a new 2015 F250 6.2L. What performance upgrades, aside from supplementing the rear suspension, would you recommend?

Leave the engine stock if you value your warranty. Rear suspension helpers are a good upgrade for the F250.

Not really performance upgrades, but I added a Wi-Fi on the OBD2 port transmitting to DashCommand app on my phone or iPad - great gauges. Also wired a high idle switch, mostly for use between plowing jobs.

Nothing.

That 6.2 is a real puller without the need to "upgrade" it.

You DO need to get used to a few things..

This engine has a pretty heavy handed "torque management" system, the throttle is restricted to 40% or less under 2K RPM but once you get past 2K RPM watch out, it will really start going fast.

Due to the torque management the initial take off feels sluggish and folks have called it a "dog" for that but it really isn't once you get used to the feel and realize that this is done so you don't spin tires and lose traction along the way.

Load up and go, spend you money camping instead of programmers, exhaust pipes and intake mods that are not needed!

Congrats , how about a pic? Only thing I have done to mine is to install an AlpineW957hd head unit which also gave me a bunch of extra gauges, and I also installed a set of power adjustable pedals for the gas and brakes, haven't done any performance upgrades to it. I do have a Superchips flashback from my old truck but I don't want to risk voiding the warranty & it doesn't really need it anyway.
