My goal is to improve mpg's while keeping the truck rather mundane looking. Some of the aero caps and other diy mods i have seen are great and i applaude you guys for taking that step but there just not for me.

There's basically 2 ways to get decent mileage out of a truck :
Drive slower and hypermile the heck out of it (as Diesel_Dave is doing), or greatly modify it (what BamZipPow and Aerohead are doing).
Miracles don't happen, I'm afraid ...
If modding isn't for you, slowing down and hypermiling like heck will be your part.
The alternative : ask yourself wether you really need a 4.8L truck and burn off your $$$ ...
