I have the RC covers on my base Sas 2 door mainly to protect the cloth seats. They fit pretty snug.

I've gotten up to 22.5 mpg on a longer drive around 58-60 mph with no stops with my base 2 door Sas 2.7 so it's definitely possible. I did that with 87 octane so if your truck has had 93 octane I could see it doing another 1-2 mpg because of that. I'm guessing the previous owner was running 93...

Does anyone know for sure what Eco mode really does besides less throttle response and earlier auto trans shifting? Does it restrict boost at lower rpm's (that would make sense), does it close the intercooler shutters, does it lock/unlock the torque converter earlier in autos? I drove in...

Nice, I went with the 35x12.5x17 KM3 that I got from a member here and had them mounted on some 17x9 wheels and I like them more than I thought I would.

I went from the stock Goodyear 315/70/17 on my base Sas to BFG KM3 35x12.5x17 which are heavier and I'm still averaging around 17.5 mpg and I do mostly local driving with short trips. I can get over 20 mpg on longer drives with the 35's, the 2.7 and auto and that was with 87 octane.

The stock rear tailpipe hanger is in a different location for the 2.3 vs the 2.7 so if an exhaust system (cat-back or axle-back) is advertised as working for both, you need to make sure it has a separate hanger bracket. They usually bolt right up to the 2.7 but need a brackets bolted onto the...

Which IAG mudflaps did you get, they have the I-line which are smaller and the larger curved ones that are similar to Mabbet. I went with the larger ones on my base Sas and I have the hoop steps which have a similar rail to the rock rail. No clearance issues with the rail, but I also have...

I wanted to update this. I did a longer drive the other day and I can hear a little bit of noise again which is probably due to the heat. I'll try massaging the boot again to see if it helps, but most of my driving is 10-20 minutes so not a lot of time for the heat to really affect it unless I...

I thought I saw it listed a couple of places around $629 a week ago but they might have been sales that end soon.

I think it's around 6-7" drop. The ProComp wheels are -6 offset so the spare sticks out another 1-1/4" compared to the stock Sas wheels/tires so it definitely needed a drop to clear the spare with the trailer latch in the up position. The trailer actually looks pretty level with that drop.

I have the 2.7 with automatic and with the Sas gearing it tows easily. I have a 10 minute drive to the river and all the roads are 45 mph or less so I haven't had a chance to get it on the highway. My boat is 16' so it's not that heavy, maybe 750-800 lbs for the boat, motor and trailer.

Took the boat out Mon and Tue while we had some 70 degree weather. River is still running high from all the rain, but it was worth it.

Yeah, I was referring more to the plug in boxes like JB4, Superchips, etc. I would hope a full blown custom tune changes the trans shifting. Does the Whipple modify the shifts with the automatic?

I think the ProCal is the only tune that modifies the auto transmission shifting and that's a big selling point of that tune. It sounds like most of the other tunes will net more power, but the improved shifting trumps that.

It's been a couple of months since I did the elbow mod and so far no issues. I was driving through a neighborhood slowly yesterday (around 15-18 mph) and for the first time I noticed I could hear a slight whirling type noise and I'm guessing it's the passenger side turbo. That factory elbow...

Don't worry about mpg until after 1000 miles of break in. Winter gas definitely knocks down mpg in the 1-2 mpg range. OP, are you calculating actual mpg based on miles and gallons of gas put in or are you looking at the computer's mpg estimate? I went with heavier tires on my base Sas 2.7...

I think I have a 5-6" drop bar so the trailer tongue ends up just about under the spare. You might be able to flip that jack handle to the other side of the post but if not, you might want to look into another brand that mounts the handle to the side. I just bought an 8" extension for mounting...

Yes, the deep dish look is going to be serious negative offset which won't really work on the Bronco.

I don't know if you want to go -18 or more, that's a lot of poke. I have some Pro Comp 17x9 with -6 and would have preferred 0 offset but they didn't offer 0 in my particular wheel.

It might work and it might not, I'm not sure anyone knows what is really causing the noise. It seems to be heat related as I didn't get the noise on short drives but when I did some 10+ minute drives I started to hear it. It's free to try and massage the boot so I figured why not give it a try.
