    Towing gas milage

    I’m running a 2012 3500 crew cab with 3.73 gears I get around 12 mpg towing my 16K lbs fifth wheel. Running around town empty combined city/hwy I got 18mpg on my last tank. I rarely go more than 65 mph because of the drop in mpg’s.

    Fumoto valve?

    Have one on my Cummins, it’s slower than a drain plug but there is zero mess and I drain straight into gallon jugs for easy disposal.

    Timbrens

    Bought my 3500 dually used and it had timbrens on it, was the first thing to come off. Found the ride was way too harsh with them, experienced the same problem with a 3500HD Chevy wrecker that I used to drive.
