towing mileage of trucks
Does anyone have a range of MPG for a F-450 dragging a 18,000- 21,000 5er? is it much different from Ram 3500?

I have a 2007 Chevy Dually Diesel w/ Allison transmission that I tow a 37 foot TT with. I generally get 10 to 11 mpg towing on relative flat roads. Worse in the hills. My diesel mechanic has recommended that I add an Air Dog 150 Lift Pump to significantly increase my mpg as a beginning fix. Cost will be around $900 installed. He also recommends adding a EFI Live Duramax Tuner at a later date. Cost for this will be in the same range. When all is complete, he says I should get around 20+ mpg while towing.
Has anybody else completed these upgrades? If you have, what results are you getting and would you recommend this upgrade?
