Do you do one upgrade every 5k miles or is that just coincidental?

Also you never posted a pic of your new truck

I am purposely doing it 5k intervals so that the truck has time to learn and i can be consistent with the changes for a little more accuracy. I will get some pics loaded up this weekend.

Sounds good for that kind of a truck. Honestly- I'm eyeballing something similar. gas mileage on my ride is terrible so I'm thinking for this mileage I should be driving the big motor..........

Update. Fuel mileage is still 20. Doin the cat back this weekend at the 5k mileage. Maybe that'll make a difference. After that it'll be a fuel change.

Have you done a tune yet? I would imagine adding the CAI and catback optimizing the tune would help out with increasing the fuel mileage as well.
