I doubt you'll see much benefit from the wipers. Your truck is already an aerodynamic brick and IMO its not worth ditching them anyways.

The alternator delete is a good one. However, you'll need a deep cycle battery. The starting battery won't last long if you start to deep cycle it.

An aerocap would be your best gain coupled with adjusting the nut behind the wheel.
