I'll definitely update here after I get them on today. Really don't think I'm gonna see a big difference in mpg. 1 maybe but I really don't think it's gonna be a lot. The 40's weight 100 lb and my current 37s weight 74 lb. My mpg right now is a little low because I need to replace my throttle body and the sensors. I've had the parts sitting in my basement but I don't have a garage right now and it's cold and snowy here in MA. I used to get 14 and now it jumps as low as 10 since I've had issues with the throttle body
These are the codes I get right now. It's weird they only pop up when I drive in 4wd for more than a few minutes. They've never popped up in 2wd. But when they do the truck skips a bit. I've gone through multiple tps sensors in my jeep and it feels exactly like that. .maybe I should suck it up and install the TB already. Just sucks I have to go to the dealership after to get it flashed
Have you tried cleaning it. Out Throttle body's get caked-up on bottom and it causes the butterfly to hang for a split second when you come of the throttle hard and it cause it to throw the wrench light on and respond with now accelerator pedal. A little carb cleaner, clean cloth and soft tooth brush, unbottle the throttle body (make sure to put a cloth in the intake while its off so nothing falls in to the intake. Give it a good cleanup and reinstall, no gaskets needed. At worst you wasted sometime in the cold, and a few bucks on carb cleaner. At best you saved yourself about $500 between new throttle body and programing.

I thought about it! Debated on cleaning vs replacing. I opted to replace because for one, worst comes to worse I'll have a spare. And I go through a lot of mud and if these tps sensors are anything like the one I have on my jeep, they're sensitive to a lot of mud and water. I don't have the option on my 05 to just do the sensor. Also, my neighbor downstairs from me works at a ford dealership so I probably won't be paying the full amount to get it flashed. It's happened a few times now, the wrench, and it goes a while for a while after I clear it. So I'm thinking if it was just sticky from dirt and buildup, It'd happen more often because erasing codes doesn't erase the gunk inside. When I replace it I'll clean my cai as well. I'll update here what happens after I find the time to do it
Nice looking F-150, wish I could do mine, but I tow a heavy boat and don't want to mess with it. I did however just finish a 3.5" lift and new 33" tires and wheels on my 98 TJ...

Where did it go?
Here's the only shot I could find of my F150...
Nice! Looks great. As much as I love trucks nothing beats driving a wrangler. Boats are always a blast as well. Only thing I tow are my jet skis which I'm not worried about. Jeep addictions are the worst to kick lol
First, sweet *** truck. You did a great job and it looks fantastic.
Second, you make my stock 13 Platinum look like a ***** boy truck now.
Third, will you marry me ??
Hahaha thank you! Better get working on that '13 lol. How can I marry you when I have this one at home? Lol my gf sent me a picture with my 40s waiting for me to get home
