  1. Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

    One more deal. I think Ford did acknowledge there was issues and did the design change but we cannot mimic that on the 5g. If you look at the 6g the intake to the airbox is a straight shot (like the S&B) but the area where the grill intake is like the VT is directly in line with that new air box...
  2. Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

    I don't disagree I am looking at the latches and adjusting the bumpers. But running 70mph between Charleston SC and Viera Florida, the flutter is all but gone after removing the VT big mouth. I had the VT on for over two years, I am willing to bet (in my case) that it may have contributed to...
  3. Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

    I'll add it back in after running the S&B for a while to see if it makes a difference, but I don't have trouble hitting my advertised MPGs. I drove highway every day, granted here it's flat, and I am conservative on my gas pedal. As far as S&B vs AFE a picture is worth a thousand words. Also...
  4. Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

    Let's acknowledge that when I took the VT out the hood flutter stopped. The water splatter was right above the vent where in bad weather the it entered the VT and blasted against the underside of the hood. That stopped too. I went with the S&B airbox not grill scoop. I had both the AfE and VT...
  5. Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

    S&B intake, straight through no restrictions. Just put mine in today.
  6. Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

    Side note, it is pushing more air but not into the intake it's breaking that hood to radiator core seal and making hood flutter (at least for me). Stock is still pulling cold air, and air still is being generally forced into that area by the resistance of the radiator. We are not over...
  7. Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

    I mean it does look cool if you happen to notice it and in theory is ramming air into the intake. I get on average 23.5mpgs per the dash. I make runs from Charleston SC to Viera Florida about every month. My last run I averaged 28mpg highway. I never noticed a difference in those numbers when...
  8. Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

    They may have incorporated a similar design but it is also more in line with the intake. The 5g is offset. I just took my VT off finally after a couple years, guess what, no MPG impacts. I will tell you what it did impact other than my wallet, the hood... The underside of my hood was blasted...
  9. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Looks good, lots of comments. I don't really notice much wind noise either, but don't trust my hearing. The included rubber sleeve is no good. I just ran the bear wire down the pillar and used a trim tool to tuck it under the windshield. That didn't have an issue on the highway. I am thinking...
  10. Welp, add me to the list.

    It's bad here lots of uninsured drivers and hit and runs. I installed Tyger extra wide steel running boards to fend off door dings and then somebody also hit me in a parking lot yesterday He did some damage but that running board definitely took a bite back. Looks like it did some shaving. Not...
  11. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Just got mine in too. Just finished up another harness as well. Mounting this on the double antenna bracket I got then off to fight the firewall.
  12. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Got this guy hooked up. Like the way it looks especially when the suns down. I don't really notice any noise either. Waiting for my extension cable so I can start fighting the fire wall boot to run the control wire to my auxbeam AR-800 controller. It's Bluetooth as well so maybe I'll forgoe...
  13. Welp, add me to the list.

    Good to know. I was cleaning the truck and saw my pass side plastic split then noticed the ding and the gap. Grabbed the Rh side of the bumper and pulled it out. Looks like someone backed into it in the parking lot with a hitch. Can't get it to snap back together so I'm off to American trucks.
  14. What’s everyone doing with the switch for their ditch lights?

    There is a spot above the sunglasses holder I am eyeballing for my 8 button unit.
  15. Clunk/Creak after driving

    I'm going to check this out this weekend. I am getting it on breaking and off the line as well as the turn or dips in the road. Really feels/sounds like it's in the front driver side. On other vehicles over the years I have had similar issues caused either by the strut tower mount or ball...
  16. Switch Panel for Aux Lighting - What is everyone using?

    Ended up with this aux beam unit for about $260. I'm thinking either in the sunglasses holder or the dead space above it. I don't keep glasses in the holder because you will get second degree burns here if you do. It just needs a hole for the wire, then the screws as it has a crossbar that...
  17. Clunk/Creak after driving

    Not to revive a old thread but found this on the search and if I make a new thread don't want to get the slight for not searching. I started having the same issue around 7800 miles clunk felt in steering at brake and start sometimes but mainly on turning or any little dip in the road. Now and...
  18. Tailgate Storage

    I think I'd rather put the $500+ towards a rack system if I needed the extra storage. How much weight can that tailgate support at the end of the day if you do this, load it up then start crawling on it etc.
  19. Gas Mileage Test

    Gave that AFE Bigmouth intake a try. I was worried the thickness of the plastic and the output end of it seemed smaller than stock. After running it. Highway yielded -2.3% vs stock Combined yielded -2.9% vs stock.
  20. Gas Mileage Test

    I forgot to mention I am using ASS
