Also interested in your gear change. I read somewhere that when Ford decided to change the gears from 3.73 to 3.55 they expected a 1/2 mile increase in MPG. Let us know what you are changing from and how you do with it.

I am most interested in your plan to go to 3.55 gears. What is your present gear ratio, Ford or Non-Ford gears for the change and estimated cost for the switch?[/QUOTE]
i have a friend that works at ford axel who is getting 3.55 gears for song & dance and i have 3.73 right now

I ordered the bigger air dam yesterday for my 08 even though I really don't like the looks of it and I was looking at covering up those 3 holes also. I'm willing to try just about anything to get another mile or so per gallon! Here's another thing that I discovered. I bought a Leer topper for mine last week (the 100XL) and my MPG jumped up by 1.0 MPG almost instantly.
