I'll echo the suggestion about the instantaneous fuel consumption display. A lot of gains can be made in driver technique.

An electric fan is a good idea, as it will only spin when needed. Taller gearing, though if your truck is a 4x4 it doubles the cost of that mod. If it is a 4x4 manual hubs may help, I do not know if that generation has unlocking hubs or not.
