What are the best upgrades for better MPG

My 08 has roughly 25K miles on it. The only upgrade I've added is the Banks DPF back exhaust. What are some other upgrades you would suggest for better mileage. I love the truck. Just wish I could get better mileage.

Thanks in advance!
Carlos

The best and only upgrade for mileage can't be spoken of on here. It has to do with what is in front of that Banks exhaust, other than that it won't make a difference.

Understood. I guess I'll go to a forum where it can be discussed. That's too bad I've been a long time member of this forum.. and have receive allot of help with my old 7.3L Powerstroke. (Sometimes wish I still had it). It's a sign of the times I understand lots of things have changed. That being said I see both sides.

You can put a wind sail in the bed, fold the mirrors in, put those harder compound tires made by Goodyear, don't forget to hypermile like the hybrids. Or..... I see you already found the way
