If you can use a computer , buy a good scanner. I have an Autotap, Autoenginuity also is good , there are others . They plug into a laptop via USB , and you can configure a virtual dash to see for yourself , what the truck is doing. Its only like 3 bills ( 3 Ben Franklins to you guys), That way you can see whats wrong yourself and more importantly , Not get raped buy the meccanic. I have already saved thousands with mine. There are like 11 sensors and 2 computers on our trucks and they are not cheap. If you start to throw parts at it can cost you a fortune . As far as your truck goes I would start with an Injector contribiution test and check the UVC harnesses for burning. Also it would not hurt to see what kind of HPOP pressure you are making and IPR duty cycle . As far a mileage goes I just replaced my MAP sensor for that reason , cleaning the FPR screen and changing the fuel filter / clean air filters and driving style mostly affect that Rear end ratio also is paramount . . . In my understsanding of the 7.3 , as complicated as it seems , you basically need three things . Good oil , good fuel , and make sure all electronic stuff is solid and water free ( dielectric grease ). Regardeless , good luck on finding an honest guy , it will be a challenge . . .
