are nothing short of amazing! Reason #34,507 why I love mine. Made about 120 mile trip towing a Bobcat E45 mini excavator. Excavator and trailer weight was around 16,500lbs. Mostly interstate. These trucks just go! My 6.4 would have been around 8.5-9 mpg pulling that weight.
Go figure, mines always read hi, so did the 08. Both consistently about 2 MPG high. Now the 01 was right every time. I could amaze my wife by predicting almost to the half gallon what it would hold at refuel. Anyway, if you are getting 10.3 towing that weight you're doing better than mine. I no longer check mine. Just drive and pay the bills when they get there.
try to change the fuel mapping. I forget how but you can specify towing and that should help. Mine is pretty close that way. Maybe it is called fuel calculations.
