Your rear bumper has speed holes.

I dig the bumpers. Reverse level is for 2wd.
That truck needs 05 headlights and grill.

I'm going to get new headlights, but I like the 7.3 grill.

Updated the lights
installed the 4" exhaust (with muffler)
removed steps, tinted the windows, installed new glow plugs and have been driving it every day for the last month.
I got 14.5 mpg going to bracketville and back, which I think is about the same I would get in the 4 door dually I use to have. The low gearing kills it.

Pretty Douchey, I like it.
That's pretty sad mileage. My 6.4 gets 16.
The low gearing kills it? As in numerically lower or granny first low?

I'm pretty sure my '99 had 3.73 and I got 15 or 16. 14.5 seems quite crappy, maybe the ultra low sulfur hoses it???

I believe I have 3.73 gears, They seem to be the most common with the 6 speeds. There is a big difference between 70 and 80mph, I drove 80. I was a little appointed, but will keep working on it. Any Ideas?

Could be a lot of things but I don't think it's gearing. I got 15 or 16 on the highway with 37s and 3.73s.

37's would help mileage, in my past experience it is all about cruising RPMs. Lower RPMs at cruising speed with 37's compared to 33's. The 7.3's meritoriously got better mileage with larger tires due to the average person driving habits.

Kind of. There's too many variables to say bigger tires give you better mileage. I bet most people with 37s did not get the kind of mileage I got. If you really want to look into your mileage, I'd start with looking at high pressure oil levels and injector health. You can try fuel and oil additives to see if they help.
