Just got back from a 2-week Southern Tour towing a 28ft Wilderness 5th wheel camper. Truck data in my signature is current. Rig ran great but always in search of better fuel economy. Around town empty it will get ~18 mpg. On two occasions I've taken it on road trips (empty) to Dayton (400 miles flat terrain each way) & gotten a hair over 20 mpg (hand calculations) running 67 mph (2200 rpm). On this trip towing the 5th wheel (trailer wt ~ 8k lbs) on fairly flat interstate roads at ~ 60 mph (slightly under 2000 rpm) I got 13.0 mpg. This was on the first leg of the trip from St Louis to Kentucky - the whole tank was burned with trailer in tow on the interstate. Later fill-ups yielded better mileage but that was due to lots of driving in and around without the trailer. On the flats I'd see around 6-9 psi boost with EGTs running around 675 - 775. But in the hills around Chattanooga boost pressures would often climb to 24 psi and on long grades I'd see EGTs nearing 1000 f. I was controlling the speed manually at first but soon switched to cruise control because my leg got tired. Highest numbers I saw was 27 psi & 1075 f. I had the Juice set on 2x5 on the first leg but later switched to 4x5 to see if it made a difference - not noticeable in fuel econ but better pull in the hills with a slight increase in EGTs.Generally I'm happy with the performance -pulled like a Clydesdale & didn't loose speed except on the very steepest grades. I'm not too disappointed with the towing fuel economy either but 2 or 3 more MPG would have me smiling. Is there anything to be gained while towing from an injector swap?Thanks,Joe in St Louis (Go Cards!)
