Really bad mileage.
Hope I hoved given enough info for someone to help.

Now with that many miles on her you certainly need to replace the fuel filter. I like to change that every 25,000 miles or sooner. I would be for checking the small screen for debris from the fuel system like pieces of O-rings as well. This small screen is behind the FPR. I know the first time I checked mine it had quite a bite of debris on it which alarmed me, but I have not seen much of anything since and I have a 10 year old truck now that has had this screen checked every 25,000 miles... I have 132,000 now...
For as the new larger tire sizes and getting better fuel mileage, I see guys all the time around here get what I call pretty low mileage with the 3:73 gears and big tires. Even the new 6.0's seem to get poor mileage with the 17" and some of the limited addition 18" tire sizes being put on them by Ford...Let alone what some of us change them out too.
Most of us like the taller tires alright and you might look at doing some checking into a few mods on the air intake and exhaust system to see if this might help. I fear you may need to look into 4:10 gears for really improved fuel mileage though. A good chip program will help some but only if you have the first things added first and then, most important is drive her as you do now. Which after a host of mods here on the 7.3 PSD, I think most of us here agree is very hard to do LOL...Driving the PSD and in a normal way is very hard to do with what power improvements can be had from the PSD...
