What am I missing????

Hey folks gladd to be here and thanks for the intrest. So here's my question?

I just purchased a 2000 7.3 that is completely stock, well taken care of and has 208,000 miles on it...(yea I know it's alot, but it was very affordable). I love the truck, but ready to mod it. I've done these few things you see here to it for a start, but ready to add more mods. So with what I'm running now, what would yall sugest I do next???? I really like the Idea of spending little to nothing on mods, and enjoy doing it my self to save money! I'm looking to get better gas mileage and good towing ability. I'm not trying to head to the drag strip or anything but definatly want the biggest bang for the buck! I just need a lil' direction

TC Lockup is a switch you can put in so you can lock up your Torque Converter on the fly, helps lover tranny temps and put out some more power to the ground. If you search for it in the threads youll find a bunch of write ups on this mod and some great detailed directions. CCV Mod is the Crank Case Vent mod, basically keeps the engine compartment/ IC Boots, anythign under the hood a lot cleaner because it routes the oily gasses emitted out of the air intake into the atmosphere, again, some great write ups on the org, and the 10k mod has to do with a resistor. Some say its not worth it because if you get a chip/programmer you wont notice any difference and it has been known to make the truck idle a bit rough. Gauges and a chip/programmer are deffinitly some thigns you should look into to really wake up the 7.3......good luck!
