Been driving it all week....haven't even registered it yet...I gotta say I like this thing. Its my first pickup. I put some air in the tires and "GEEZE this thing is kinda tall"! Now I really have to use the handle to get in lol.....I've got what seems to be mild lifter tap/exhaust manifold tick a few seconds after startup....then it goes away. I think I confused the noisy injectors. Funny how I hear this stuff once I got the truck home....I went to the dealer 3 times, start it up and let it run for about an hour listening. Overall, I like this truck. She does have a hum at the rear diff...hopefully a new fluid change will quiet that a little....if not, I'll be doing the rear outer bearings and seals....not brave enough to do the inners. Thanks for the input....Merry Christmas

Good luck with it. Hope it does not nickle and dime you to death.
Bought my 05 Lariat screw with 166k on it eh 2 to 3 weeks ago.
I have posted on a couple threads here and started a few asking questions about stuff. So far I have a minor list. Shift **** deflector door actuator. shifter light, fog light, floor mats, Im currently looking for an ashtray that will lock. Its all been fairly easy stuff so far. however I had the oil changed with 5w20 syn and put some Lucos oil additive in it. Its now making diesel like sounds and well I am sure I will need to do the phasers and top end goodies. Dats life.. I do think I will try to get it done sometime around March and when I do I want to put a remote starter on it. Next project after that will be a back up camera same time probably a radio update. Only thing body wise with mine is a couple rust dings in the front bumper, the spot under the fuel tank door, as well as I need to replace that door. Plus the drivers cab corner is just starting to go. Ok the list is getting worse the more I type.. But over all Its in good shape. Good luck with your new truck

Do all the maintenance on it to be sure it was done right and enjoy the truck. A couple hundred bucks may make it out last some of these newer trucks on the road.
