Tow something! Heavy! It worked for a 05 2500 with the HO. It got 16 before and at 1500 miles towed 11000 lbs for 200 miles. First easy then gradually started pushing it in the mountains of WV. The truck now has 2100 miles and averages 21 mpg empty(so the onboard computer says). I have heard of severe mileage issue with some trucks and my buddy the DC mechanic says a reflash of the software solves the problem. See your dealer and they should be able to help!
