new here... couple problems...couple questions
Hey name is Eric. Just bought a new daily last saturday. Traded my 2006 monte carlo SS in on a 2007 Ford F150 FX2. White in color and love it! Got it so i can tow my 99 s10 with a 96 corvette motor that puts around 360 down at the wheels.
One problem is that when i get into it in the morning for work the fuel gauge reads about a 1/2 tank lower than the night before. But gradually works itself back up on the way to work. Check engine light came on and then went off the same day later in the day. Didnt think nothing of it but the engine light came on again today and its starting to bug me since the truck only has 5500 miles on it. Any input?
Now i wasnt expecting 20 miles to the gallon out of the truck i would be stupid to but what are somethings i can do to boost up the MPG?
Now since it is a 2wd i would like to lower it a bit but did some searching on here and have found that you guys arent really into the lowering and such as the s10 guys are. Anyone shed some light onto this subject for me. Thanks alot guys and looking for a warm welcome for a guy that came over to ford from chevy. test drove a 2007 silverado and this truck made it feel like a piece of junk.
THANKS GUY
