Alright! Best B Series motor built, best block, easiest to modify, best injection pump ( Bosch P7100 ).
Service the truck front to back, convert to synthetics.
Run the hottest thermostat available and convert cooling system over to Evans Coolant.
Install a FASS or Airdog system.
Put the biggest open element air filter that can fit ( k&n or equivalent )
Decent sized aftermarket exhaust system from turbo to tailpipe.
TST Performance plate kit for the pump ( something mild, call for a recommendation )
Fresh set of injectors ( Dynomite, Scheid, any of the established shops )
Do the KDP fix ( Killer Dowel Pin, will save your engine )
Retorque the head ( I know it has nothing to do with mileage, but good preventive maintenance )
If the transmission hasn't been freshened up, get it done with a shift improver kit
Do a gear swap ( you didn't say if it was a 2WD or 4WD ), if you are not towing on a regular and if you can find a set, go to a 3.07 ring and pinion.
Your cruise rpm is 1600-1700 rpms.
Change your driving habits.
EDIT- MSD/Superchips Propane Injection Kit; will boost the mpg substantially with a nice power increase. Look online for the test that Diesel Power did on a Cummins powered Dodge Dually for that one.
