New guy with a 95 f250

I picked up a fleet owned, one-owner 95 f250 from texas thru ebay. I got a consistent 22 mpg driving up to Indiana. At 200000 miles (10000 mine) the truck looks good; straight, shiny paint, no rust. I've replaced glow plugs, vacumn pump, belt and tires. Currently the truck is running strong on b20. The truck is used to go to the home center, haul hay, and pull a horse trailer. My interests will include modifications increasing mpg and decreasing emmissions. Power gains would be appreciated but the 7.3 is plenty good for my needs."He who knows when enough is enough will always have enough." Lao Tzue. Also any tips out there from 'those who have gone before with a 200000 mile 95 f250 7.3' will be appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the ORG.!

For mileage and power gains, I recommend replacing the factory downpipe with a 3" piece. Also, add a high-flow muffler, or straight pipe if you don't mind a little noise. You should also open up the intake with an aftermarket intake or look at the DIY intake setup. You can shim the fuel pressure regulator, increasing the pressure, which will promote better fuel combustion.

The 7.3 is capable of many more miles, if properly maintained.
