Sounds like what I do:
Neutral coasting as much as possible
Keep it under 2000 all costs, rarely over 1700
With my gearing 1000 RPM in topgear equals 40 MPH
I don't shut off at lights
Good MPG and Shula's is a good place to enjoy victory.
Tell him to get a pyrometer install with the probe before the turbo and learn to drive with EGT never over 600 degree F (hard at first but it can be done). That gets him repeatable acceleration.
You CAN get good MPG out of these big trucks.
His truck was very roomy, wasn't it?
