Question Help an 'Ol Newby Out

Hey Guys, just got my first Dodge, 1st Diesel, 1st Duallie. Don't kill me, but always been a Blue Oval 1/2 ton guy. Think this truck'll make me a convert though. Got a couple of questions that hope ya'll can help with.

1. How much tire pressure are you DRW guys running for the best ride; when not towing of course.
2. Are most of you using Rotella; seems like it.
3. It appears that many guys in another forum are not running oiled air filters of any kind because it will void our warranty. Any validity to this?
4. I'm not into the speed thing like I used to be, but I plan to pull a 11K 5'er once a month (100-1500 miles RT); what's a good chip/module/programmer to give me the best fuel mileage and a little extra UMPH! (Don't wanna start changing turbos, trans, etc.)

5. Oh yeah, ***!! with the 07 headlights on bright?! Dim is as good as my '05 Lariat, but the brights suck! All scattered with no focus. Is it maybe an aiming problem?

Thanks a lot for any of your thoughts. Lynn

I run 60 front 55 rear
I changed to synthetic at 15K
AFE has a new dry filter
Quadzilla or Smarty. Both have great products and customer service.
