14,000lbs floored. 20lbs boost. Cant make 60. 5.8 on lie ometer. More concerned about the boost number. Is 20lbs correct?

What kind of mpg do others see pulling 18,000? My modded 7.3 can pull better and has always gotten 10

Depending on the speed and terrain. 7-11. Have not tried going slower to see if it gets better. I don't have long stretches of flat either within 5 hours of me. Everything is 5%+.

2016 F350 Dually CCLB, remember the duallys have 3.73.

I've got to be around 23k with the 2016. Same trailer, with same load with my OBS, the GVW was slightly over 21k. My OBS weighs 7k, don't know what the dually weighs but anyway.....

Just got my friend's outside of Cincy. Towed from NJ through PA via PA Turnpike to I-70 to I-71. Set the cruise to 70. In OD, I saw 20lbs. If I dropped to 5th, boost went up to 25lbs.

Through PA, mileage was 10.7-10.9. Hit OH, went to 11.1. Mileage on truck hit, 2,000 on the trip.

This is on a stock truck, no tunes, nothing done to it.

my truck is a 12 with a 64mm 15 turbo and with my 12000 lb 37 foot camper I get 8.5-9.5 mpg I'm tuned and ******d I see 30 psi at the most. Your stock 13 turbo wont make much more than that at our altitude.
