the fan thing yes it puts less drag on the engine and a cold air intake will also help i have a cold air intake and love it

First, welcome to the site :exclaim:
I'm not to sure on newer motors but one free way is to lose weight :exclaim: It's a diet for your truck, not you

One possibility is replace your spare tire with flat repair in a can. Another is join AAA and lose the spare and your toolbox of tools. Less weight= more power= better mileage[ keep your foot out of it

] I'm sure there are other ideas,

I saw a thread yesterday that said you could take the heads and upper intake from a 3.0L out of a Ford Escape to increase power.

You could give that a shot! ;D
