Also, have you had any change in your fuel economy after installing th nudge bar? That's the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger before my road trip t/from Texas and Tennessee.
Looks great. Found a used one on Amazon for a song, but ditched it last minute for fear it would mess with th rear a sensors. Got a cheap Curt skid hutch protector. It's fine if you want something that's a bit lower profile, but this goes great with the nudge bar.
I've listened to this on some headphones finally.. I think this is pretty close to what I'm hearing. Seems to be most prevalent when it downshift under 40mph, though I have now noticed it when it is downshifting near a stop under 10-15mph.
Some.minor flexing with mine, but my wife's sedan does this, too. Aluminum good and whatnot. When I take the BS through the ole Wash n Roll car wash, boy does that hood dance. I'll see about adjusting the hood, but I've seen no issues arise from a bit o' flex.
My dealership ordered a Aeroskin II for me today and shod have it in by Monday. Might have the small chips on the front of the hood (first day taking it on the interstate and this happens!) touched up prior to installing. Will post some pics once she's done.
I sometimes get this strange rattle when my BB is coasting and downshifts while in lower gears, usually around 20-25mph. No shuddering or anything that feels out of place. It doesn't sound like the old familiar valve rattle, but I notice this typically when going up/down small'short rolling...
I, too, notice some slight (sliiiight) vibrations in the hood when picking up speeds on the interstate, but I see this more commonly on low-mid grade vehicles with aluminum hoods. None of my heavier hoods on previous Ford's do this, so I chalked it up to the aluminum flexing. Doesn't seem to...
Averaging 31.5mpg five tanks in. I'll echo what I've heard feom others, there doesn't seem to be much use in Eco mode unless you're doing a lot of stop and go. I used primarily Eco in the first tank to see what was what. Have used all Normal for the last four tanks, and my fuel economy seems...
Late to the party, but...Can confirm, I used to be able to unlock th lift gate with the fob in my pocket but noticed just last week that the lift gate will no longer open without unlocking all doors, but the glass will. Any updates to the "why now" this? Other than plugging my phone up directly...
