Kellum, If you are following this, since you have the 7.3 and the 10 speed tranny, what is your trailer weight and fuel economy? And how does the mileage compare to the older gasser?
Very first tow after break-in with minimal highway towing a 30ft trailer weighing 7750 loaded was 10.1 mpg.
My previous truck, 2004 Ram 2500 struggled mightily on steep grades but the older 5.7's were only rated at 345 HP.
Using my old Ram primarily for towing, it never saw double digit mpgs.
I did however wait a year before ordering the 7.3 to eliminate some 1st year wrinkles.
Good luck in your search.
