A few ideas that worked for me:
Electrically disconnect the EBPV. These things stick and you wind up running with a virtual exhaust brake in cooler weather.
Install a EGT gauge and drive the truck to keep EGT below 600 degrees F. Can be done but you need a very light foot. This falls under the heading of adjusting the nut behind the wheel.
Learn to coast. Easy with a stick. My ex used to call me Sir Coastalot. These trucks can easily coast a mile or more in the right situation.
Keep an eye on your rear brakes. For some reason these big Ford have a way of hanging up one or the other rear brakes.
