power programmers depending on brand do come with an Eco mode in most cases by reprogramming the trucks computers timing curves it should return some decent results... Just remember that no matter what you do you will not benefit from it the money you invest will take time to recoup ... Your Mom should thank you.

Check out Hypertech Max Energy E-con programmer they make it for all engine options of your Ford 5.4,6.8, and the 7.3L

Performance is our Passion - Hypertech

Weight removal in a vehicle this heavy is nearly irrelevant. You wont be able to remove enough to make a difference.

A hotter t-stat and synthetic rear dif fluid made the biggest changes for me.

NO TONNOU COVER ! Not a flat one anyway. It kills the air bubble in the bed.

I recently added a tool box and am waiting for mor data to see what it does, since yours has a computer let me know if you test this out.

On a borrowed truck i guess major aeromods are out? An aero shell might be in order .
