Mileage around town is about 9.5-10 mpg but I live on the bench and everything is very short trips under 35 mph up and down hills. I've always gotten awful mileage in town here no matter what vehicle it is. On the interstate I'm seeing anywhere from 13.5 - 15 mpg at 75 mph depending on the terrain. After it breaks in I'm doing the dpf delete and Spartan tune.

No doubt, they want $1,089 retail for the grille. I can get it for a few hundred cheaper but still. The one for the new Chevy is $1,800!!! I wish there were more grille options out there.

i dont know if it has been mentioned, but when you change up you send vents..........black them out and put chrome rivets on them. so it would match your grill if you ever buy it. . Just a thought.

Yea I was thinking about that. When I finally break down and get the grille my buddy who's a fabricator was going to work on something for the side vents to get that rivet look to match.

I need to get some pics of the vents up since I changed them. I painted the mesh a satin black to match the wheels and acetoned the chrome. It looks alot better and matches the front grille since the Super Duty lettering is solid chrome...much cleaner looking.
