Beast mpg's
Took a little trip today to get essentials.85% highway/15% threw the city to get on another highway. Some stops and only one off/on key cycle(getting stuff). I'm quite happy with this 6.2 as it breaks in. The li-o-meter was still creeping up as I took this pic but was getting off the highway. Interestingly, I do get better mpgs at 60 than 55 in 6th gear. Must be because the rpms are at or slightly below1500 and then it becomes a matter of throttle input. This surprises me as Beast is so damn tall that speed hurts.also a view of the Gtrans temp.and finally a pic of the stock height of Beast.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your gearing and tire size. The reason i ask is, the 7.3/10 speed has been getting pretty good mileage since its inception.

pits a Tremors so ,4:30 with 35” tires it’s the only way they come. I was expecting to get better mpg than my 2016 f250 6.2. But that’s not the case so far . I’m expecting to get about 10 pulling my boat. But they now closed the boat ramps so it may be a long while before I find out. Some are saying they may not reopen boat ramps to July if at all this summer.

Are your tires the stock 275/70/18 ?

I thought with factory gearing whatever tire you get factory thats the gearing you run with until you change the factory tire size.
I had 4.30 with 275 70. According to OP I'm not running 4.30 in reality
Now I had 285 75 Geolanders put on which reduced my ratio to 4.09 from what i thought was correct

I think people are saying that it is all RELATIVE to the standard 275/65R18 tire. So, in a sense, and compared to that, your 275/70R18 is comparatively a 4.13 rear end if a 275/65R18 is 4.30.
