Re: Great MPGs towing
Just got back from round trip to Lexington, KY. Scaled at just over 24K#. Trip down Thursday, October 18 into a stiff headwind, with AC operating, was 8.9 mpg (my worst mileage ever). Return trip with tailwind, with AC operating, was 11.3. Complete roundtrip average for 760 miles was 10.3 mpg with Jody's 80e programming. Last time I towed this route I scaled 26K#+ and the truck had OEM tranny, turbo, 3.5" exhaust with BTM, AD injectors and stock HPOP and AIS was over 11 mpg IIRC. That was with Jody's 40 tow programming. I was hoping for an improvement but I will take it.
