5.9 Fuel Mileage Help Needed
Running Hot Shot with a 2006 Dodge Ram 5.9 Cummins,4x4,6 speed tranny,Running a Bullydog Programer set to performance (seems towing does about the same as far as fuel mileage).And a K&N Cold air intake system. We Pull a gooseneck 40ft flatbed and tow up to 28k (thats trailer and loaded weight) seem to be getting {10 to 11mpg} pulling just the 8k trailer unloaded and seem to get about 7 to 8 mpg fully loaded.
Does this seem right and if so are there any good ideas about setting this truck up to get best fuel mileage under these loads?
the truck seem to get better mileage till about amonth ago it had to be sent to the dealer to get injecter work done.
any sugestions would be nice.
