given all this i think im gunna stick with the 3.73s its got. my mon-fri driving is mostly in town with maybe 5 miles at 55-70...but on weekend when i go home (college student) i do a 100 mile one way trip at 70+ the entire time.
as for 16mpg spinning 37s im ok with it but i just want to get some better numbers if i can. im sick of having to fill up once a week and watch $80-$100 fly out of my wallet like its nothing

I'm towing 12,000 lbs running 35's w/3.73's, your towing 25k running 37's w/3.73's (used to be 3.73's).
My truck wouldn't pull 65-70 mph in O/D without the egt's hitting 1200-1250, the road is not flat but it wasn't like I was climbing huge passes.

I just towed my trailer to Kalispell over the weekend, and I couldn't run in O/D all the time, the egt's would climb so fast when the truck started to climb a rise and the tranny didn't kick down soon enough. So I was constantly manually locking out the O/D.

There is no reason you should be having EGT issues at those weighs and power levels.
Chelseas Excursion is on 37's and 3.73's and I pulled a F-250 like mine on my trailer without issues from Bend to Portland... Just set the cruise and go.

Have you checked for boost leaks and drive pressure leaks?
