I don't have a video camera and my old flip phone doesn't do it very well. I'll see if I can get one from a friend. Yes, on a one way trip for Phx to Showlow, Az with several 6/7% pulls hand calculated 11.5. I get 16/17 around town but I don't drive agressively. My right foot is a big help. I also have stock inj & turbo. I tow in my 40T on the steep stuff & in 20T everyplace else.
I'll be going up for a week before & including Labor Day so I'll try and get some video.
There is a guy I know that's on here once in a while that has towed with me ask him. He goes by " Slated for greatness" He's the only one that gives me fits. He has a 6.0 Tow Boss with 4.30's & the bullit proof stuff. His tows really well.
Hannibal, look at the map and you'll see the trip I spoke of. Not sure if it gives altitude but here it's about 1200' and there about 4 6/7% pulls and then after topping the rim it's 8200' and then the last 60/70 miles is rolling hills dropping back down to 6500'
I have absolutely nothing to gain or lose in these conversations. A lot of it is just me being who I am and getting a rise out of the crowd. But the facts about my truck are no BS. I used to tow with a gasser and I know they have come a LONG way since. But I still contend that the wgt of the rotating mass in my 7.3 will carry it further up the hill before beginning to work than a gas eng.
Have a wonderful day. I really do enjoy the lively conversation.
