I've never seen one for a V8 gas engine. There are
a few for diesels, but not gas.

That my beef right now . Since dodge trucks have such a bad rep. for fuel.
When a person trying to do the little things to improve gas mileage. Dodge
and oem don't come thru. The best I've come with is performance chips.
Nothing to monitor how the air flow is doing or fuel. Kind of worried about
this summer gas prices. Their doesn't seem to be a mfg. of air sensors like
granatelli for gas power dodge trucks.

Real time monitoring of fuel mixture is pretty easy
(although not cheap) with off the shelf parts. The
LM-1 digital meter is probably about the best out
there. Although the Halmeter is pretty good, too; and
for less money. AM in dash gauges are pretty worthless
- eye candy only.

But if you want to change parameters while driving,
you're on you own.

Just what the doctor order. My guest that the combination of a
performance chip and LM-1 would do the trick.
