Bro in law just bought a 2011 5500 truck and it is gutless and getting ****ty fuel mialage. Just found out in the ford section they detune the cab and chassis do they do this to the dodges?

Yep. Because of the higher loads on C&C, compared to pickups, engines are detuned slightly for sake of longevity of power train. Like most diesel engines there are automotive and industrial ratings. Higher continous loads results in lower power ratings compared to automotive loads which usually are cyclical in there loads.
