Thank you seadragon! I'm halfway through the first thread. I'm hoping my late '16 manufacturing date might include any fix regarding the vacuum booster pulling brake fluid from the master. I will certainly keep a busy eye on my brake fluid reservoir level.

Again, thanks for the links.

The recall is only for trucks with the 3.5NA engine. Not very many of them.

The Aluminum body is what got me in this truck.. Rotting from the inside out cab corners in my otherwise mint 04 F150 really pushed me away from steel here in the northeast..

You're welcome!

The first link is the longest thread.

Mine is a April 2016 build so I'm always nervous about this issue. I just checked my brake fluid level and it's good. Hope it stays that way!

To whom are you addressing your post, and on what topic?

Yea, just finished that first thread. In it you wondered why 5.0 over 3.5... at that point in the thread I replied mentally to you with: "Because the 5.0 makes more vacuum! The 5.0 really sucks!" lol.

Anyhoo... We all should pop our hoods from time to time and check fluid levels. I'm going to do this every time before I drive my truck, at least for the near term. I have, recently (every time I wash the truck) and again just now. It's full.

I must say I worry about the brake issue as much as I do with every other vehicle I've ever owned/own.

Oh wait, I don't.

LOL.

I like your style, sir! And I appreciate your level-headed perspective. Thank you.

My 17 XLT Sport was built 4/17 in Dearborn no issues love it. It's so quiet I think it's not running with the windows up at a stop light. This is my first vehicle with electric power steering so I don't get the feel like my 04 XLT with power steering or the rawness of my Mach 1 but I like it. Sorry your having issues with yours.
