Pulling slide in would get around 14 mpg, unloaded 19-20. This is with tall 85 series tires. Cruising at 1900 rpm would be around 65-67 mph.
Had a 2000 7.3 with 2wd drw cc auto and 4.10, pulling slide in it would be 2 mpg less then the above but can't remember at what mph or rpm..
So you are saying that 2000 7.3 dually was making 17-19 mpg? At what speeds?
I had one of those with flatbed configuration and was happy getting 10 empty, when engine was whining high at 65 mph. Flatbed with tall sideboard adds a lot to air drag, but way less than TC.
