Ok, towed with the new Ram and the BC, Wow, what a difference. I can actually accelerate going up a grade with the trailer in tow. It is also nice to be able to hear the radio again while going 65mph towing. Never realized how noisy my Duramax was with the Banks exhaust. No mods required for the Ram, very happy with plenty of extra power. With 400 miles on the odometer I netted 9.4 mpg at 65 - 68 mph. 1400 miles on the odometer and netted 10.2 at the same speed. Those are with the trailer packed for 4 adults for 40 days on the road. And just a note, 1400 miles and the DEF gauge hasn't moved.

What kind of setup do you have on your 6.0 if it's not the Powerstroke?I like my 2005 F250 with great 6.0l International not Powerstroke setup. Lost $7000 in depreciation in 10 years of ownership. Cost $2000 to bullet proof it last fall. The truck has been programed to 410 HP for 10 years and has power to spare towing our BC3500 with fantastic fuel milleage. Previously had a GM 6.5L diesel that was flawless for 9 years. Did modifications to engine controls that cost $4.00 to gain 7 mpg hiway not towing.
If only the trucks we buy and spend a fortune could be build right. No plans for an other truck in the near future with the present truck better then when it was new.

Thanx for the in-depth reply. I'm on that same site and follow some of the issues that pertain to mine, but must have missed or passed over the different coolant usage....great to know for future use!When I bought the truck used with 70k, I was one of the first on the Powerstroke Forum to try new method off appling the International system of cooling the engine with ELC coolant. It was the coolant International was using at the time and Ford refused to use it from day one. We were a few on line that believed it was the solution while a lot of owners were skeptic and were changing EGR coolers left and right by Ford without changing oil coolers. We had determined that the Ford yellow coolant was leaving a deposit in the oil coolers that blooked the coolant to the EGR. Ford was at the time blaming International for leaving sand in their castings. Of course International did not have the same problem so we concluded it was the coolant. I switched right away after 70 k miles but it was to late the oil cooler and EGR was blocking a bit and I elected the change the oil cooler that lasted since and still runs clean after 120k extra miles. I did do the studs and gaskets last fall as a precaution. The gaskets were good but the 2 bolts on the front driver side cylinder had stretched. I blamed it on my Hypertech programing and now she is no longer Ford or Powerstroke. She is mine, like my 98 6.5L that GM never once helped me with my fuel mileage and others pump problems. I fixed my GM by moving the pump control modual to the fender like I was told in the GM Forum. Again for the price they sell these trucks they are never right from the factory, and never supported. I also have a GM 6.2L diesel successful story. Also repaired by on line experiment.
