I'm running an 87 crew cab dually with a 6.9, c-6, and 4.10 gears. Only mods are the Banks stinger system which is a K&N and complete exhaust.
Keeping it around 50mph empty I'll get 15mpg.
On the highway doing 60mph towing an equipment trailer with my 3850lb. Samurai on it (combined weight around 7,000lbs), it drops down to 9-10mpg.
I think turning the motor @3300rpm kills my milage IMO.
