Thumbs up what next???

Need some advise please. I have done all I know to help mileage and well now I need to go to diesel rehab. Anyone know a good one? Seriously, is there any more "bolt on" items I can add to help performance. I really dont want to upgrade the tranny or anything else major just looking for ideas. Is stacking a programmer with the edge hard on the truck? Thanks for any responses and this site is excellent!!

you are pretty much at the thresh hold of your transmission now, it won't hold anymore power unless you upgrade

what about a throttle body spacer? I have a local speed shop who will build one for free if I let them spec it out for my truck. Anyone had any luck with these? Also, how about a turbo 4" down pipe from the turbo to the cat?

best thing you can do now according what you have listed and said above is get a cat-delete pipe and install an EGR blocker plate and Fingers stick

No such thing as a throttle body on a diesel, just so you know. These are a little different than gas rigs.
