  1. I know your pain. I ordered mine on March 21st and didn't get it until August 4th, but he wait was well worth it. Welcome to the forums and enjoy the new ride.
  2. Well, they replaced the 0w20 with 5w20 last night and this morning coming to work, it was acting much better. During the 40 minute commute to work with the cruse control set at 68, I never once dropped below 22 avg for every 6 minutes and hit a 24 or 25 in there. This is more like what I was getting before the oil change. I have the 3.5L Limited AWD and average 21.5 to 22.5 per tank.
  3. Anyone notice there fuel economy 30 minute graph going to crap after switching from the Ford 5w20 to Mobil 1 0w20? I had the oil changed at 8500 miles on Saturday and they put in 0w20 instead of the 5w20 Mobil 1 I asked for and I have noticed a big change in fuel mileage since the change, and not in a good way? Right now, with making no change in my driving style and using the cruse control, I have noticed at least 4mpg difference every 6 minutes. I am usually around 24 to 26 avg and now, i see 18's and 22's. I never see below 22 before the oil change. Any thoughts? I have called the shop and they are changing the 0w20 out for 5w20 this evening. Thanks in advance.
  4. Welcome to the forum. Nice to see more people from the Houston area on here.
  5. They are the same design, but if you pay attention to the insides of the housing, it is black instead of chrome. I have them on mine and I agree with Dan, the black internal housing sets the contrast for lights better. I will get a few pictures of mine.

  8. Here are a few of the pictures of my install. tapped into the passenger turn signal run from the module above the radiator along with existing wire loom control module mounted in the grill below air box scoop (hi temp double sided sticky tape from 3M) used wire loom to make fuse run into the front of the fuse box look cleaner.
  9. Welcome to the forum. Have you noticed any reception issues with the stubby antenna?

  11. Welcome to the forum and it sure is a pretty one.
  12. I agree with you there. I also don't mind my 1.5 hour commute both ways now.
  13. It is a family owned dealership and I really, really needed a road trip. Gave me time to say good bye's to my old Sable that treated we so well for 9 years and to break in my new baby while seeing friends in KC along the way. Trust me, if it wasn't for family, I would not have waited 4 months for the vehicle to be built and delivered.
  14. Welcome. I stumbled across this forum after I had already placed the order on mine and have found a wealth of knowledge here as well.
  15. I have been stopped by quite a few people asking about the color. They primarily think it is Black, until they get right up on it and see the metallic flake and brown. So far, I have only seen 2 other Kodiaks, a ton of Tuxedo Blacks followed by the Whites and Reds.
  16. Somehow this double posted, so I will list some of the current additions: Illuminated door sills Clear stone guard on front bumper, hood and mirrors Thule 2 bike hitch mount carrier Daytime Bright Lites DRL's 20% window film all around My Ford Touch Lockpick Additions pending: Daytime Bright Lites Sport Tails Daytime Bright Lites LED Turn signals Front and Rear Daytime Bright Lites LED Backup lights Clear stone guard appearance package (Door handle cups, door handles, Rear bumper, All four door jams/kick panels)
  17. Well, 3400 miles on it now and averaging 19.9 mpg. Very pleased with the vehicle and absolutely couldn't be happier.
