Go down to the 6.0L forum and read. By far the most recommended is the SCT Xcal II with custom tunes from Long Island Performance Diesel (sponsors here). They are actually working on a tune specifically to increase mileage right now and it should be out soon.

Like Beerstalker said drop down to the 6.0 forum and read. Tons of information down there on this topic. And yes the SCT XcalII with custom tunes from Matt (PSD 60L Fx4) at LIPD is the tuner of choice for the 6.0.

The best fuel modulating device currently out there to increase fuel economy is the "Right Foot" by Evolutionary. This modulator has near infinite settings and gives the user complete control over the amount of fuel being delivered to the engine at any RPM above idle. This device is organically fueled, carbon based and uses the principles of "Force", via the long thin pedal on the right of the drivers-side floor board, to regulate the amount of air/fuel being delivered to the engine. Studies have shown, and many happy customers have reported that when this device is used at it's "lowest" or "softest" setting, they have seen a "dramatic" increase in MPG's.
Seriously though, do what Blackhat or Beerstalker mentioned. Since most people buy a tuner for their performance benefits, you may have to read between the lines.
