My New Truck!

Looks good, how many miles. I'd get a chip just for the elevated idle feature. It's best to let the engine idle for a couple minutes prior to shutdown to keep oil in turbo from coking, and the elevated idle keeps oil pressure a little higher. Put a chrome tip on it and call it a day.
If he gets a chip, he needs a exhaust and intake as well to get the full effect.

Yes I know some about these trucks. My dad and uncle both have one. It already has an intake on it, a bigger exhuast housing on the turbo, and I have ordered a 5" MBRP straight pipe for it. I am going with Beans Diesel Performance for custom tunes. They are awesome people. And no.. I still have the ranger. It was my first truck, its not going anywhere.

He doesn't really need the intake for the full effect, I've had a 7.3 on the dyno with Bullydog 6 pos, stock exhaust from turbo to about mid cab, then 4 inch exiting in front of the rear tire. With stock or Open filter there was no difference, even with a fan blowing cool air at the filter. I'd personally stay with the stock intake, check all the hose clamps and call it good. Change the filter when the Filter Minder says to.

Since I'm asking off-the-wall questions, what is your crewcab short bed rated for?
Again, that looks like a very nice truck. It reminds me of my cousin's truck... an '02 crewcab short bed 7.3L. His is even the dark shadow grey, although it is not a Lariat. His truck is what sold me on the F250 model. The only problem he's had was with the ESOF hubs not locking due to a vacuum leak. At least Ford gives you a way to manually lock the hubs.

I mean coking, gets hot and breaksdown, leaves thick stuff. Either way, I'd let it idle at least a minute prior to shutdown unless you only drove it 10 minutes or to the gas station.

No offense but the Bully Dog is not that good. The reason you seen no changes is because the Chip is not a custom tune.
Your chip is probably tuned for a stock system. I don't care if you took the filter completely off you are not going to see many changes unless you tune for it.
You will see better increases if you get a custom tune from someone like TW or DP
