[QUOTE="Zjman, post: 712808, member: 9835"] I have a very similar truck but mines just extended cab, my rig trailer is probably 6500-7000lbs I’m guessing, not real sure of my gears but I tow in overdrive with no real problems, I sometimes switch od off of it starts shifting too much, truck gets about 14 mpg, I’ve got programmer and cold air intake and muffler deleted, if I get time I will try to see what gears it has this weekend, I did notice a big mpg loss when I went to 35’s and some power loss Now my excursion is totally different, it’s 2wd and gets 21 mpg and has no problem towing my stuff and I prefer towing with it, I put injectors in in about 18 months ago and been best investment, mileage went from 17-18 to 21 and a big power difference, it’s got cold air kit and programmer too through stock exhaust, the injectors are built for maximum torque for towing and made a world of difference, this thing will fly now, so I would try injectors first to see if that gets ya back in the power band ya want, if not you was gonna regear anyways, here’s the link for what I got, these guys are the best 7.3 injector builders in the country [url=http://unlimiteddiesel.com/high-output-ad-powerstroke-fuel-injectors]http://unlimiteddiesel.com/high-output-ad-powerstroke-fuel-injectors[/url] [/QUOTE]
