    The two things I did to increase mileage was to put on a 4 bbl carb. An Edelbrock 1406 is a good choice. That's what I use and a number of guys here have them. The second thing is to use a tonneau cover. While driving, I see the wind or draft off the truck hits to cover about a foot ahead of the tailgate, which I feel is probably the worst place due to the tailgate acting as a dam. If you run with the gate off, I suppose that's fine too. My point is, you have to flow the air somehow with either a cover or pull the gate off. If you have full time 4 wheel drive and don't need it, you may want to pull the front shaft and make it 2 wheel drive. Right now my setup is bone stock except the carb and am running 14 mpg.

    Hope this helps,
    Craig
