That V-10 is going to suck gas no matter what! Going through modifications to get .3 or .5 better towing MPG's is futile especially if it decreases non towing MPG's.
Now if you want to get better performance the mods maybe worthwhile.
But the idea of doing mods to increase MPG's is futile and generally wont pay for themselves.
It's going to cost you some $$$ to tow a big box down the road. THere is no way around the physics and gas dollars $$$ required
1 MPG is 10%, that's about $400 in one camping season so an axle swap (if i do the work myself) will pay for itself in a couple seasons.
But i just want my question answered- what MPG, what gears, how much weight and what speed?
i believe if my current cruise RPM is 2350 in 3rd and i swap gears so it's 2400 in OD at the same speed, i think i might get better MPG.
