It's not gonna be much better. 13mpg is really good for these trucks and yours with 180k miles on it. I get about 11mpg.

My '98 RCSB 5.9 4x4 got about that NEW off the lot, I was lucky to see double digit mpgs once I lifted it and put 35" tires on. 13+ mpgs with 180k miles on it, I'd say you're doing good...
My 98 w/ 5.9, 4 x 4 gets 13 mpg. Has 147k, stock everything including tire size. Have not changed the plenum gasket...yet. I have had it since new. I remember it getting 14 mpg back when it had 70k on it. I used to not keep up with mpg's back when gas was cheap, so I don't have a really good idea of what it got when new.
