    Grille Guard and Milage -- And other diminishing factors

    No. We were getting the better fuel milage for a period of time, not a couple of special trips that got better milage. Were in north Texas, so were driving primarily flats, a few rolling hills on occasion but nothing extreme. I figured changing plugs a while back would have helped, the old were...

    Grille Guard and Milage -- And other diminishing factors

    Tires are in good shape, I check PSI often per tire's specs. Not under inflated, that is certain. I drive very sensible whenever I am driving her Expy. I have long been obsessed over watching MPG and LIE-O's, as well as calculating at fill ups. I am leaning toward a filthy intake. The MAP sensor...

    Grille Guard and Milage -- And other diminishing factors

    Happiest of Monday morning to you all. Lets jump into it... 2016 Limited EL 2wd. Averaging 13-16 half city/hwy. We had been getting 18+ for a couple of years, 19+ on long hauls on hwy. I put a Frontier Grille Guard on our Expy shortly after purchasing (MPG number above are reflective of...

    Weekend Maintenance - Plugs, TB Cleaning, etc.

    Spent my Saturday morning changing plugs, ignition coil boots, cleaning MAP sensors and removing the throttle body for a good cleaning. I went back with the OE plugs & coil boots that I picked up from RockAuto a month or so ago, along with new coil/strut assemblies (Monroe) but those are a...

    Rubber Blocks?!?! -- 2016 Rear shock/Strut Coil Assembly -

    Thank you for the response. and Appologies for my late reply. After some deeper research I came across the Sumo Springs. I'm 99% certain that is what they are. My new springs/strut assemblies arrived about a week ago, but I cant seem to convince myself to get out in this Texas heat and do the...

    Definitive Shock/Strut Replacement answers 2016 EL

    Thank you all for the information! I have done a few shock/strut replacements on F150s, oem replacement as well as level kits and the like. What had me worried is a few folks mentioning the spring perches on some and not on some all within the same model years. Last thing I want to do is be...

    Definitive Shock/Strut Replacement answers 2016 EL

    Thank you for your input! I seem to be running into too many variables when I search and call. I wonder if the 4wd had more applications, esp in an aftermarket situation. Every seems to want to throw new suspensions of sorts on 4wd. IDK

    Blower Motor recall personal experience

    Just out of curiosity, if anyone has had the smelly issue, what did it smell like? Our recently had a strange smell, similar to a skunk... but not as stout. I figured the wife just ran over something and got it underneath. The smell lingered a couple days in the garage too. We took it in...

    SYNC Update taking forever!

    Thank you for the info. I have been seeing a few folks mention CyanLabs. I guess I am just a little hesitant when it comes to third party entities. Mostly worried I will screw it up and lock my unit down, and I don't think my ext-warranty will cover my foul up. If it wont work on my next 2+...
