Yea your computer numers sound about the same as my computer numbers, but if it is like mine they are way off. I have a 30 mile trip one way to work each day all at 60 mph. One tank this summer I decided I was going to see what milage I could squeeze out of it. Always took off using light throttle and let off way early to coast to stop sighns. The computer hit 20 mpg and I really thought I was doing something, ran the entire tank and filled up. Yep I got 15.5 mpg actual 
So know there is no ***** footin around, I can drive it like I want and get the same 15 mpg.....

But they do help I think take stress off the transmission. Im looking into a tonneau cover right now. Not sure if I want a soft or hard cover.

65,000 - I have a soft cove on mine and it doesn't make a milage difference. A nubmer of test I have seen done say the same thing, the cove made no difference.
Did you special order the 4:10 gears? Standard is 3.73. I had 4:10's in my last 2003 wtih a 6 speed manual, got better milage then the 2008 does.

So far, the best I've seen on my 2011 HO dually 4X4 is 14.5 on the highway empty and around 9 MPG pulling our 37' toyhauler. No mods yet, but deletes and a programmer soon to come.

No it came with them. My 06 with the 5.9 had 4.10's also. It did better on mileage to.
