Default Things I like to do to my rig, suggestions Appreciated

Hey guy well summer time commin around and its that time of year where I can make some money to spend on my rig. I bought this truck just a little under a year ago with 212K and now has 230K on orginal engine and tranny. Everything works wonderfully, and the previous owner took very good care of the truck. ID like to improve performance and Fuel Milage. I use this truck for my ranch quite often, and is my DD. I get 19-21 depending on how my drive to my school goes 20 miles away. Any how I would like to get an intake, new air cleaner, and a Fuel Mileage chip for my truck I was looking the the Edge Evzo, and eventually get into injectors. I dont want a 400hp or 500 hp truck just something that will last to the half million mile mark. A pull a trailer better than the 6.0L oh no our ranch has.. But This truck is pretty much stock except for whats listed on my signature. I have done valve lash at 224K so where all good there and oil change with Rotella T ever 5k and I plan on changin tranny fluid here soon. Truck is an automatic! Thanks guys appreciate the suggestions, I just want somthing that every bang for the buck, and will work and last, I dont want to go crazy with the spending I have other obligations to fill such as planning for my next school year, and making sure diesel stays in the tank of my pick up. Take care, keep on keepin on.
