Sounds like most of the truck users.
Then you want to get the largest air cleaner possible, feed it cold air or rammed air.
Get taller bigger tires.
Do an aero front bumper like me. Mine would already be on but I am trying to figure out how to put a big intercooler behind it.

Does that 7.3L have a turbo?
If not get one, if it has a factory turbo consider getting a larger turbine housing or bigger turbo all together.

Get a bed cover, if they are proven to help your body style and bed lenght combo.

Consider an external mirror delete and aero wheel cover if possible.
Smooth wheel covers - EcoModder
Side mirrors - EcoModder

Check out the wiki, I have added a lot of diesel ecomods.
