Nothing wrong with a 5.4...I've had 3 trucks with the 5.4 and no trouble with any of them.

PawPaw, I agree with your comment on the 5.4. I came from a 98 Z71 with the 5.7 and the 5.4 is comparable to it. Really comes down to knowing what you need for the task you perform on a daily basis.

It's a beauty. One thing for sure, you shouldn't pass many other Platinum's on the road.

Well, I have seen 5 so far in the Kaiserslatern area, 2 Raprors, and several FX4s. Turns out a lot of us brought our trucks and found out we can fit around most places in Europe! I just got back from Poland and the were digging the Platinum!

Everyone that uses it, seems to agree that it works. I now have a bottle on the way!
Jaybird, the Voodoo Leather Rejuvenater arrived yesterday. Of course I had to immediately use it after work.
You were dead on with that stuff!
My truck is just a year and half old now and I put on a seat cover during the week to try and keep my seat from looking a 100 year's old. After 20 years with leather, they an look real ugly, real quick.
I was really surprised to see how much grime, not filthy...just daily use dirty. Especially with a cover on.
The biggest surprise was, I had forgotten that I did it, till I opened the door and oh man...like stepping into a leather factory. What a great smell. Not overpowering, it was as if I just installed the best leather seat money could buy last night.
Plus, they feel and look great. No slimy residue or shiny or anything stupid. Just quality!
Thanks for the tip. I know a lot goes a long way,but I may grab another couple while they're on sale just in case. Plus, I've never seen it in the Boston area, or I just simply overlooked it.
Thanks again.

Your welcome, I love the stuff I keep the bottles on hand the wife has leather as well and her car but of course I'm stuck doing her car but I guess that's alright since she gladly takes on the cooking and cleaning
