Pics of the new work truck!

Hey guys just picked up my new work truck, wow what a change from my old work truck! I don't know too much about all the emission stuff, but this thing is pretty fast for a stock dually. Here is a couple of pics I got at work.




What are some ways to get the most mileage out of this truck, on the way back from houston I got almost 12.5 on the overhead.
Thanks

Mileage the more miles you get on the new motor the better it seems too get. Dad has around 7k now on his 07 6.7 and he is averaging around 16 and some change.

The harder you work it the quicker it will get broken in and your mileage will begin to rise. As soon as my brake controller gets here I'm gonna hook up my trailer and pull it around for a few days. That should help some. I've only got 900 miles on mine so far...

the best way to get mileage is to drive a moped....Mileage pretty much sucks with these trucks but I knew that when I bought it and I still love it to death. Congrats on the new truck by the way. It looks really nice. Enjoy!

After 18K on my buddies Mega he's getting 18.5 mixed driving. So just keep breaking it in, and it'll creep its way up, on the farms 06, once we hit 100K miles we saw another few mpg's, don't ask me why but we did.

Also, we picked up almost 2mpg using the Quadzilla Mileage Module. The only thing that truck does is drive the highways with a trailer behind it though.
