Love the smell of gear oil in the morning 🫑. I decided to change my rear diff lube and then thought I’ll put the Ford Perf…. err Spicer cover on . Used a lube locker gasket, re used the bolts, and threw some RP 75/90 in it. There were a few flakes in the oil , nothing major, and the fill magnet wasn’t too bad. Did have to drop the spare which is always fun πŸ€ͺ. Cleaned 10lbs of mud off of it AGAIN while it was out. Just under 25k miles. Transfer case is next πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ

how many quarts of fluid did you need? I wasn't sure if the spicer cover added any capacity or not.

I really like the King Ranch grill and fender vents with the stone grey accents ……I just didn’t like the extra chrome. Masked everything up as good as I could then scuffed them and sprayed with SEM satin black. Threw on some black mirror caps that I’m not crazy about, I’ve already got some gloss black OEM caps on order instead of the stick on crap that is on there now. Now I need to find a new Ford logo that covers the rest of the chrome and I’ll be happy with how everything looks.

I was really surprised at how easy it was to get the grill out and especially back into the pickup!

Engine oil, rear diff oil change and rear Billy 5100s. 40k on the diff oil & shocks…..very little metal on the fill plug magnet and the oil looked much better than expected but still had fun and glad it’s fresh! Only a few miles on the truck since but it seems much less jittery out back!

I can't find anywhere around me that has e-85. I'd love to try it out.
Fuel economy suffers a bit but the increased performance is incredible. I only run e85 or 93, nothing else. 93 octane if I'm going on a trip and need the additional fuel economy/extended range, e85 if it's just the usual around town driving.

If you do find some, you don't need but around e30 blend for max performance so fill up some 5g cans to make its discovery useful. Next fill just dump in 10g of e85 w/ the rest regular e10 gas. There's a BP near me that has it and I use it to blend in for max performance on the PB.

Thats a good idea. But I can't find any. Lol. Next time I go to a trip to Houston or something like that I'm gonna load up my cans in bed for just incase.
Hell I got a 55gal drum I use for gas for my generator during hurricanes. May load that bad boy up. Lol

OEM plugs at 48K miles. All of them measured at .033 and the new plugs were .0295

I had some intermittent rough idle (no codes) and noticed that my fuel mileage took more of a dip than anticipated when I went to 34’s, trimmed front bumper and deleted the AAD.

New OEM plugs ($55 from American Trucks) and a JLT catch can installed in about an hour and I was actually surprised at how much smoother my pickup runs now. I had blamed some of that stuff on the transmission (it is getting serviced next week).

Fingers crossed for some improved fuel economy.

Yup, 12:1 is a nutso high compression ratio for 87 octane. I know it CAN be run due to the DI, but the 5.0 does not like it. 87 feels like a dog if you ever fill it with shit gas after premium. It’s very happy on the corn, I am ecstatic this station started carrying it. There was NOWHERE local to me with it until now.

Stock file for E-85 lands around 420 HP/440 LB FT on the 5.0L, it’s definitely a healthy boost. Like a tuner you didn’t need to pay for since Ford built in extra timing advance for the higher octane ethanol provides.

Time to join the party! Not today, but about a month ago I added a 2” rough country level, put on a set of 275/65/18 Toyo AT3s, and a Rough Country soft bed cover to my 2021 XLT. I love the look so far! I really like how the Space White looks in the sun.

I’m looking to add some more mods but not sure what I should do next. I have been looking into replacing the grill with a lariat grill because I love the look and also adding tow hooks to the front, but not sure if I can remove the plastic covers over the tow hooks spots without having to cut into it?

Any thoughts or suggestions? Would love to hear about some other mods to add!

Finally got my ambient lighting installed in the cup holders & media bin, as well as the light for the glove box.
I might try installing a blue one in the glove box though, as I don't care for the yellow light.

It was easy to cutout the opening with a new blade on my box cutters. Cut it smaller and slowly remove material until it's a perfect fit. I drew a template to follow for the rough cut, then did the final cuts.

This is great. Do you have a parts list or anything? Easy for a noob? lol
