    3,000 Mile Fuel Report Part #2 (stock)

    I was hoping for deeper in the 22mpg to be honest. I feel with future bigger tires and lift I will be lucky to see 17.7-18.3s...

    3,000 Mile Fuel Report Part #2 (stock)

    3,000K Fuel Report Part Deux *Stock FX4, HD Tow, 3.73s, regular drive mode, 2wd, 87 octane: With my mileage computer correction, 99% highway, temps ranging from 26 degrees to 76 degrees, with 650lbs of people and kit, I averaged 19.29 ACTUAL mpg (measured at the pump, not computer) over the...

    Fuel Mileage Reading Off?

    My mileage utilizing "935", over 3100 miles (99% highway and 8 fill-ups) measured to be a bit off of the actual readings (meaning my actual calculated mileage is better than the trip computer shows). Five out of eight fill-ups (two were near equal, and 1 was .22 of an MPG less) were this way...

    You Guys With 33s & 34s--Where Are Your Spares?

    The stock 285/45-22s are almost exactly the same height as the 275/65-18s which is 32.1-32.2 inches tall--nowhere near 34 inches. I have checked the spare tire well and it is tire height that will cause the problem, not width. It looks like you might be able to squeeze 33s w/o a problem before...

    Park to Drive or Reverse bang clunk jolt

    Yes normal in that it is wrong lol. When I start my truck--even in warm ambient temps--it revs and holds 1300-1400 rpms for quite some time (added to the dealer check list). Giving the gas a light goose to bring revs down does nothing, and if I put it in drive, it jumps a bit of course (but...

    275/60/20 Tires and Ford Warranty

    But pretty much what Loki said lol. Your dealer should not even notice a 1 inch taller tire.

    275/60/20 Tires and Ford Warranty

    I am pretty well convinced they could deny you for anything drive-line related under warranty if they tried. I think it might depend on dealer/service manager. That being said, they really should hardly notice it. I am concerned a bit by it myself, but still going back between 33s vs 34s...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    I have not measured, but it has come up here before. A lot of guys with the 3/2 and 34/35s notice it prominently in pics, and it does look wonky. Correction^ 3/4/21^I believe it is the direct byproduct of the rear suspension moves downward, the driveshaft has to swing down with it from the...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    The rears pull themselves forward as you lift, but do the fronts remain the same as lifted? Technically, lifting these rigs "shortens" our wheelbase a bit to the point where 35s and a 2+ inch rear lift almost kiss the front part of the rear fender.

    Who is running wheel spacers?

    A lot of Land Cruiser guys use spacers and I just bought two pairs of .25 hubcentric spacers myself from https://www.motorsport-tech.com/ Have not added them yet, but another user here has and the company has a very good reputation. My concern is safety and wear, but with .25 the amount of...

    what about "Oil Catch Can" ?

    I added one on my Gen4. The maintenance is easy, and their are little know negative side effects (At least I have never heard of any). I also think it will help clear up things over time, especially if you run additional fuel cleaners (which I think may dilute oil, so you may have to change a...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    Matt, please post pics, but after looking at Eric's setup two things come to mind: 1) Seriously Ford? Why is this lift/tire combo not the FX4 package?! 2) I am lamenting my putting off my own changes due to my 10,000 mile "Where on a Covid World Tour Trip..." Still on the fence for tires...

    Totaled? Pics

    Hope you are all OK--it would seem that a hit hard enough to take off that tire should have deployed something!

    Drive Control Malfunction after car wash

    Good to know 'Fozzola and I wonder if the key is the 5K oil changes (which I believe means your survive?) but I am here to tell you, my last early oil change (and I change at the 30-35% oil life left indicator did not look good). I still personally believe the fluid intervals to be a...

    2022 hybrid option? yes please

    I just priced about 10 Prius at $24K new yesterday, around the country. I've ridden in one and thought it was fine. Even if dated. Have not ridden in any other, more modern hybrids, but I'd expect they'd be better. And yes, and subsidized by our tax-dollars.

    Drive Control Malfunction after car wash

    Your response seems to be the exception, but your experience is your experience. My FX4 is certainly not a "lemon" and in 15,000 miles has never left me stranded or even burped like it would. However, my gut tells me with all the Expy's complexity (I mean two seperate fuel systems, two turbos...

    Drive Control Malfunction after car wash

    Toyota still has some "old school" SUVs I have had my eye-on to include their venerable V-6s/V-8s. Something with a real shifter and real parking brake, and not 2 turbos, 2 fuel systems, etc. The only tech I get excited about is for the safety stuff, and that is pretty low-tech IMHO. I know...

    2022 hybrid option? yes please

    Sorry if this is a hijack--- Someone asked me a few days ago if I would ever own an all electric vehicle. Based upon my situation, I will have to say no. I like vehicles with more capabilities, and no more than 5 minutes at a pump to add another 300-500 miles of range. Now, Hybrids? Yeah...
