Kirk, you have one of the best websites for full timers that I've come across, and I've read lots. Excellent work. -

Was the mileage calculated or from the display? Our truck only has instantaneous, or lifetime average. If I want trip mileage, I have to calculate it. Detuning will definitely help, but if you drive by the boost gauge, you can maximize your mileage, and still keep the higher HP for just in case times. I think you have an OD iShift, so 3.08 shouldn't be hurting you any. Assuming you can keep it in OD, as much as possible. I don't worry too much about day mileage, or even trip mileage, as it typically averages out. -
I'm sure 3.08 rear end gears aren't helping. We do seem to migrate in and around mountains. So passes and windy roads. -

If you were heading east it could have been the winds, we averaged only 5.75 from Oklahoma thru Kansas and partway thru Missouri and we had heavy cross and head winds all three of our travel days. I think it was the worst I have seen in 8 years with our HDT. -
So, just about home. Traveled about 1000 miles. Average mpg.... 4.7 Ouch! Maybe detuning this baby to 425hp?
