mine doesn’t really make sense at all but I actually saw my MPG increase after installing the 2.5inch HRG lift. Before I would see about 26.5 highway. After the lift I was at 28/29 highway.

Could also be that the increase was due to the rear differential unit being replaced, as it was done at 59k miles and lift went on at 62k miles.

As for driving habits, I have a really easy 25 mile commute straight on a highway. Takes me about 5 min of country road driving to get on the ramp and then 25 miles straight at 68mph. Anything above 68mph I tend to start dipping. 72 and above is where I see hard drop off to 25/26mpg.

interestingly the power curve at 60mph is also bad as that is right on the edge of the gear shifting and so it holds closer to 3000rpm.

last note is that adaptive cruise control and auto lane centering seem to be when I get my best MPG, I almost never get above 27 if it’s my foot doing the driving.

Threw on some Damond Motorsport rear caliper bushings yesterday and backed out of driveway this morning quieter than a church mouse on a cracker, completely squeak a free.

I am assuming this is a fairly easy install?

FORD has them back in stock.

Well this wasn't today, this was a couple days ago but this is the first chance I've really had to snap a picture. Finally got my ugly steel winter rims off and put my OEM wheels back on with the addition of black lug nuts. So much better looking now.

agreed that black lugs make a big difference. at least in my situation, there was a lot of unpainted metal within the lug seats that the lugs don't cover, which i only notice when looking at the wheels dead on. do you have that issue or are the lugs larege enough and/or there's no unpainted metal in your wheel seats?

Nope these are the exact same size as the OEM lugs so the seating area covers the unpainted area on the rim.

what brand are they and/or do you have a link?

They were literally just the cheapest Black lug nuts I can find on Amazon. As for the brand, honestly couldn't tell you I think it's just one of those ones that are sold by 50 different sellers. LOL

This showed up today:

Grabbed the Bulletpoint mount during the Memorial Day sale; shipped and delivered quickly; installed with just the 2 "bronco bolts" and feels super sturdy (once tightened, unlike the pic below)- no need to drill into the dashboard piece for my planned use of a small dashcam.

also got a matchbox sized BS yesterday so threw it into a pic...

Yaaa. That’s what I felt when I installed mine, too. Unless your hanging a damn iPad or something like that from it, I don’t see the need for drilling additional holes to mount it.

Added an unplanned and unwanted mod to my sport today. Just merged on to the bypass and wham! Oncoming pickup tire fired it straight at me..... Ffs

Added homelink. Works so much better than the remote!
