At the present all I have done is a K&N air filter, Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust, and running Mobile 1 oil, these have helped some, Im on a tight budget some funds are limited I would like to get a chip for it, but what else can I do to improve it till I can get a chip or the cost of fuel comes down, I have to drive about 100 miles a day round trip to work........any suggestions are more than appriciated, pleaes help me have to keep from getting a car Thanks

Not sure what else you can do. Make sure the basics are being done though. I mean make sure the tire pressure is correct, your not lugging around extra weight, properly tuned engine.
Not sure for your year truck, but if you buy a superchip you will have to switch to super unleaded. Have you tried looking into buy a gas card from priceline.com you can get gas for a little ($~.10) cheaper. Good luck.
