Good stuff, Sir! My son's 1984 F150 with 4.9L, 4 speed manual O.D. and small factory air dam on front bumper was "born" with 2.47 rear gears. [2.47 X .71 O.D. = 1.75] Before gasohol, this truck routinely returned 26+ mpg @ 55-60 mph.

I believe it is fellow member Reamer who manufactures the 3D grill covers. He and Gary Lewis designed the piece. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1359252-dash-speaker-hole-area-repair-plate-finished.html -

But, can those "others" effortlessly pull Big Blue on a trailer @ 75 mph?

Please understand that I am not being argumentative, as that is not my nature, but I do think engine speed can and does make a difference in fuel mileage. With over 10 years of records as my truck is driven the same distance and route to and from work, the normal gas consumption is ~17+ mpg. Approximately 50% of this is @ 45 mph [the rest is stop and go]. At 45 mph, the truck can be in OD @ ~1200 RPMs. Experimentation has shown that if OD is not used for the entire tank, the mileage drops to 15+ mpg. While in 3rd gear @ 45 mph, the RPMs are ~1675. Looking at the vacuum gauge reveals that the vacuum is greater when cruising in 3rd vs. OD. Pumping losses take an effect.
