First let me say, that is a beautiful truck, don't make 'em like they used to. What size gears does that beast have, 3.75, 4.10s? I doubt it is, but is full-time 4wd? you can throw manual locking hubs on and that'll free up some energy from having to power all 4 wheels. What's your average speed? Any hills or flat ground? One more thing, weight. Anything that you add to the truck adds weight which is means more fuel having to be used to move the truck. What is on the front of your truck, snow plow hitch? If you're not using it, get rid of it, sell it or scrap it and use that money for gas money. How do you drive, if you fly off every stop, that'll eat up alot of your mpg. hope this helps.
