100%. Its only there to do things like oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, new tires and alignment, etc. Simple stuff. But, they are tied to the dealership ao everything is still Ford and logged for warranty and stuff. Quick lane is the way to go. I only go to Planet Ford service for real...

That thing is up to $690 on Amazon now. Do you have a catchcan on your 2.7 as well?

I go to the Quick Lane associated with my dealer, not the dealers service dept. The service dept will 100% be more expensive because the techs are trained techs, not guys that should be doing oil changes.

Yep. Although I wouldn't move back, I now live N of Houston, I do miss the diversity of nature there. Wanting to buy 50 acres in E. TN in the next few years.

I see you live in the Richmond, VA area. I grew up in Waynesboro and folks still live there. Are there lots of places around to go off roading there? I'm imagining the Blue Ridge Mountains have a ton of options.

Your notes about rubbing at full lock scare me. I have the Eibach 2.0 Pro Truck set up on order with +25 offset wheels. I went that way to avoid rub, but, guess I shall see soon!

My concern is that it's gonna be annoying as hell on long highway drives. When Im between Houston and Dallas I need to be able to make business calls and I don't want some gawd awful drone. What is that like on that exhaust?

Hold up! I can display trans temp, oil temp, coolant temp and something else on the screen while I'm driving!?

Yeah, had i known id have stockpiled and sold for $350!

Plus, Ford cant allow easily interchangeable upgrade features between trim levels to be cheaply obtained. That undercuts the value of the upper trim levels. Sucks we didn't get in on the $50 part, but that doesn't mean we are getting screwed.

I don't think its about gouging. Its about the original price was STUPID. No one with half a brain believes that assembly is a $50 assembly. It was mispriced and now it's more accurate.

Makes sense. Hence why I'm looking at getting an OBDII Port Bluetooth device

So I think I misunderstood or misread your statement earlier. Yes, I have those bar graphs in "my view" but I want actual numbers, not just the graphs.

Ahhhh. Ok

Is full synthetic the way to go or is a blend OK long term? Your write up on the reasoning is what I imagined the reasoning to be. The other thing I think you've gotta consider is that MOST people wont keep these trucks for 150K+ miles. Most will trade in after 3 or 4 years and 50K miles so...

Couldn't agree more. @$120 they are barely making any money.

What about a wide black rubberband? It would be easily removed if/when you sell the truck.

As an automotive engineer, why does the 2.7 have the belt and the 2.3 have a chain?

100%. Let me also say I don't design engines so I'm not in the know on the wet belt vs chain thing. I'm involved with district energy and university Central Utility Plant systems. I think your overall point was spot on!

Interesting thought. I was always told that seafoam type products in the ecoboost engines was a big no-no. Incorrect info....?
