yeah it reads 20% left on the oil monitor, and its burned down about a half quart I would guesstimate. Nothing like my mustang which I had to throw in 2 quarts before I reached 5,000 miles. They gave me the free maintenance on the so I'm letting them do the first interval and give them a chance to scan the rest of the truck to see anything out of the usual. I did take the tune out at 6,000 miles and its been hell without it. Sucks without the tune.

My build date is 3/2012 and it only happens in 6th under 50mph trying to accelerate. You can hear and feel the surging. I need to take it in soon because there is a whole list of things that need to be fixed. Even after all that...its still WAY better than my Duramax.

When you say tune, like a tune up?? Or has it been tuned aftermarket?

livernois tuner... they gave me a maintenance package with the purchase. Im almost due for first schedule maintenance. If I keep the truck, Ill do all the other scheduled maintenance as I normally do with my other vehicles. Typically Im comfortable modding out my vehicles after that first scheduled maintenance. To be honest, this one is keeping me on my toes. I modded the hell out of my 13' mustang after the first dealer maintenance. But this one just dont know man...

My truck was built on 02-03-13. I've only got a 1000 miles so far with no issues. Traded in a 2011 with the infamous loss of power deal.

I talked to my ford dealership today there service dept says they hardly dig that deep if there's a problem and that it's up to them wether they push it I have good repor with my new dealer that's what they told me and that if they installs 6" lift for me they cover it on my 36,000 mile warranty but if you get it put on at 16k u got only 20k left on it.. So it's a dealer by dealer thing.

I think I could handle good mud holes and still have some get up and go I have a preconceived notion performance will play out that way **** I guess I'll have to see
