3500 DW LLY's

I've had one D/A in a 2003 2500HD....traded in a little over a month ago for a 2005 K3500 CC/LB/D/A LT..Got it with the employee discount program..
Thought I'd see if anyone else has purchased a new 3500, or for that matter has an older model dually..compare mpg, what you haul, if anything, and any mods that you might do on your truck. I've got a little over 1100 miles on my truck, average a little over 15mpg driving back and forth to work (mostly highway)...towing a 37' 5er that, when loaded weights a little over 12,300 loaded...1st time out last Saurday, got 10.5 going and 9.3 coming back...it was more "up hill" on the way back..truck is stock except for K&N after market OEM air filter...also thinking about putting MBRP cat-back exhuast sys. on truck.
