It's refreshing to hear an honest account of mileage. All the Dodge boys around here try to say they get 15+ miles per gallon pulling 30K +. LOL!!!!!! Looks like a great time was had!

        Will the other dodge I was pulling with is and 01 5.9 and he was pulling about the same weight and he got about 15 to 16.  Yes the 6.7's are a thirsty pig.  Most of the Dodge boy's that are bragging about high fuel milage are driving two wheel drive 3/4 ton single wheel trucks. Pulling 8.000 or less. 

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

I was being polite. The goof balls around here try to claim 20+. I think our inbreds don't know how to figure mileage.  I get 8-12 pulling trailer/truck of approx 20K with the '07 duramax dually . All around towing of approx 9.

No goof ball here. 

With the 5.9 2500 4x4 chip and filter i got 21mpg around town / highway.  Towing was less - about 13 - 14 mpg with 13,000#.  New truck with 6.7 gets about 16 - 17 town / highway.  About 10mpg towing.  Gonna do the dpf delete in about a month.  Hope that helps.

Those figures I can believe. 13K truck/trailer combined I assume.

The 13k is a rough guess for total.  I never ran the scales.

        Been there done that. Do the complete turbo back and unplug the EGR while your at it.  I found that doing the EGR Cooler delete was a waist of time. Not needed.             
        Be sure to get a good tuner.  I am using the Edge and I hear that the Smarty is better for the 6.7 Dodge.
