We picked up a WC-11 this weekend in Wichita, Ks. The trip from Texas to Ks. yielded 19 mpg for a 2001 Ram 2500 4x4 Diesel w/ 6 spd. On the trip home, with the WC-11 and all parts loaded (a few extras parts) Billy's truck averaged 10-11 mpg. The newish truck turned 10K miles on the way back. The trailer is a small tag along I have used forever, not too heavy at all.

Will the engine loosen up to get better mileage? I heard they are fully broken in at 15K.
