Update to the optimized throttle body. As expected on the way to work my instant MPG gauge was showing higher than normal on the same route. I'm reaching a higher speed with the same amount of throttle applied. It helping the low end as it's supposed to. I expect to see the mileage increase a bit like it did on my Fusion.
Looks like a good mod to do.. where did you source this from? Did you also do the blow off valve?

Cordova motorsports. It already have the stock bypass valve with the GFB. Anything else is unnecessary to me.

Since you have some background … is this the unit that they offer for the 2.3 Mustang cause I emailed them and they couldn't tell me if it fit the Ranger..is it a direct swap?

The actual housing is the same but the electronics is different. After the TSB it did not like it at all. I had to go back to the stock one. The best thing to do is get a new Ranger one from Ford and have them port that one. I'm going to get one from Ford but I'm having it bored out to 64.45 mm. Stock is like 58-59 mm.

Zero reason to complain about the oil change. Even if I wasn't doing it on my lift it's still easy. The skid plate and flap is a complete non issue. Only thing of note is where to put the pan when you remove the filter. It's further back with the little drain flap. 15mm for the skid plate bolts and the drain plug.

Thanks for the pics from the oil change. Hitting the 1500 mile mark next week and I’m going to change oil/filter at the same time I go back through to recheck the torque on everything that was touched during the BDS lift install.

Installed a set of Fabtech rear shocks. Took away some of the stiffness compared to stock. It matches the front more now with the leveling kit. Not as jarring. FTS7265 and picked up a pair of Pro Comp shock boots as they don't come with any. 20 minute job max.
