RE: 2 questions
You should do a egr tune up. And nox sensors. Then forced regen. Or if in the hills with load on 1900rpm climbing the hill. These filters need to be hot and have a lot of volume of air going through them to open them up. Emissions engines are hard to get mileage out of. Some guys will say driving them faster actually gets better mileage. I don’t think that’s the case but the engine will do better being driven hard under a crap preventative maintenance program then one babied. Your truck gears are two high. I just bought a truck with 3.36 gears on low pro 22.5. 1250 rpm at 60 or so. I knew what I was buying and knew I wouldn’t be able to use cruise much because of always downshifting. I’m empty half my miles so I wanted the legs when empty. I run cattle out of state seasonally so I wanted legs for that also. Seasonal cattle I’m empty half my miles. It just a theory I have and I could be dead wrong but empty 13th gear. Lower rpm maybe not fighting emissions system as hard, trying to get fuel mileage. But gonna need to change sensors yearly or so. Your sensors are critical to maintaining fuel mileage.
