just say no to superchips.
you want SCT, which you can get custom tuned to your truck, with your mods, not a one size fits all "close" tune.
want to add a cam that idles with 8" of vacuum? no problem. boost? no problem. build up a 408? go for it! just a stock motor? same answer.

99 3/4 ton 4x4 24 mpg.....Now that's funny. 
  my 98 1500 360 2wd barely gets 16mpg at the best & only mods it has are the Hughes airgap intake manifold & true duel exhaust & 3.90 gear

I thought some of you naysayers would say that. I have a picture to prove it. And I also calculate when I fill up also. The picture isn't clear but it says 23.6 and it climbed to 24.1. That was after driving 25 miles on the interstate @ 55 with the cruise on. I consistently saw 18+ before the 02 and convertor cleaning. Say whatever you want, I drive like I have some sense, take off very easy and run 55 with the cruise on. If I drive stupid I can consistently get 12-14. I've repeated this time and time again, and I'm enjoying my extra money saved from not having a heavy right foot!
For a minute I thought it was April fools day. If you lived closer I would make a bet and we would go for a ride.

As soon as I get to where I can drive again after my surgery I'll post a video and prove it. I don't believe it myself.
Flat ground fill tank to the brim, drive 100 miles and refill. Hand calculate. Diesels don't get what you are getting. I sold and drove those trucks for a living. I know what they get.
On a side note with your tuning magic you should go into business as being able to achieve a 100 percent increase in fuel mileage will make you a rich man.

The picture is very hard to read but if you push that US/M buttom on the left now what does it say? I think it says ECO L/100KM under your number.... And that would make sense.

I think it could be possible driving 55 on level ground with the cruise set and 3.55s but it is going to drop off hard as you speed up or encounter hills or speed up and down with traffic... of course you got to figure out how much your time is worth to know if your saving anything (probably not). On a 3 hour trip it will cost you 45 minutes VS driving 70-75 mph. Is that worth it to save a gallon or two of fuel?
In my experience with the overhead meters they are typically around %5 + or - of reality with a couple way outside that.
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
