Have problem with my mpg being low 5mph-6mpg flatbed loaded or empty. Normal driving 68-70mph. Def delete, change a lot of sensors and filters, valve adjustment, re program. Mechanics said TURBO is carbonize and that my be the problem. Any advice from some one that has experience something similar?

Losing 82 gears should cut plenty of weight, improving MPG. Do you leave the jakes on for every shift?
Kyle G. Thanks this. -
Don’t understand. My truck 10 speed automatic

You got a tall or a midroof ?
1. Midroof is better for flatbed mpg
2. Hows your tarping game?/how are loads, cleanly loaded or tons of wind resistance? Flapping tarps means large wind resistance.
3. Lots of stop and go/backroads, or mostly highway (hoping its highway at 68 to 70)
4. regional/geographic hurdles? IE 68 mph up a mountain isnt doing you mpg favors
5. Slow down, try 65 mph -
