Only, why would anyone get a big truck if they aren't hauling with it?
My 25mpg is with hauling, and hauling lots of large heavy loads (full apartment worth of furniture and boxes, 3 tons of broken concrete, etc) and it sounds like the thread OP is planning to use the truck as a truck too.
Also, I don't have any computer to play with. Wouldn't upgrade if I could though. Mileage hasn't improved at all in the past 30 years, why bother to have something modern? More complications just means more stuff to break and more expensive to fix.
My original point wasn't about being diesel, but just about these older full size trucks having lots and lots of room for improvement.
He might not take all the exact same steps as I did, but I'm sure he can reach his goal and then some with out spending much and w/o any major mechanical changes.
