Hey guys...I am new to the forum. I have a 2000 Crew Cab 7.3L F250 4wd with the 6 speed. Right now it has 4" exhaust (not sure what brand) Air raid intake, and Banks 6 gun on it. The truck has 217K miles on it with a mild lift and 33x12.50 on 16x10.

Wondering what other mods I need to perform for mileage and power. I know that one of the first mods I need to do is get gauges...my main question is do I need a tranny temp gauge since my truck is a manual? Thanks guys.

also this is my first Diesel so any maintenance, tips, or things that I SHOULD be doing such as additives for the fuel and such would be great.
