Well you can pretty much look at my signature and see what I've got done to my truck. I pulled a 35' gooseneck with a 20' Conex/Shipping container, whatever you wanna call it and all my house stuff inside it. I moved from Seattle, WA to Sumter, SC and averaged about 9 MPG. However, flat ground comin across southern Wyoming, then Nebraska and Kansas if I took it I was gettin 10 and close to 11 in some places. With a full tank of fuel on the scales with truck, trailer and load I was right at 24K pounds. Hope this helps you some.

One more note you might need. I THINK, not sure, but THINK I've either got 4.56 or 4.10 gears. I know that at about 75 or 80 mph with the 35" tires I'm cruisin at right at or just over 2100 RPMs.

 

100 plate, 16.5* 370s modded AFC (full fuel at 30psi with a stok 215 gov spring)
BHAF, heatsheild, straight 3"

Total weight approx 1300# mixed driving (mostly city) good bit of idleing, 15mpg

And didn't you go off on people not using their real names for screen names on another forum? I at least use the same name everywhere...
