I don't mind that at all, heck I'll even wave!
My bladder capacity and my EX's fuel tank are pretty well matched when towing.
Honestly, what kind of fuel mileage are the various PSDs (both flavors, and with what mods) while pulling a high profile 11,000lb TT? Just curious how much better they are doing than my V-10's 8/9.5 MPGs.
I'm NOT a deezle basher by any means, my current plans call for my EX to be "replaced" by a diesel powered vehicle in a few years (likely a Cummins though....). And I do have much respect for the PSD's great TQ/HP and their potential output with the right mods. They are absolutely the right choice for really heavy loads.

I bought wrecking yard X codes off an F550 and B codes, 245 for all 4.
Hindsight I would have bought new ATS's. I only gained 2" overall.

I'm wondering the same thing...the MPGs you're getting with your V10 is pretty damn solid

My 7.3 F-350, 3.73's, 235/85-16's, auto, chipped, and 4" exhaust, averaged 10.5 mpg towing an 11k travel trailer from north GA to Orlando, Fl and back. That was driving speed limit or less and probably 25% of the trip was 2 lane road.
