2013 5.0 problems
#4
My '13 5.0 4x4 Screw has 82k and some change. It's runs nice but it was mostly highway miles I was told. (as they all say) But it's in phenomenal condition.

Turned over 100,000 miles last month. At 90,000 I had the plugs and boots replaced per Ford's schedule. Last week the belts, idler pulley and tensioner were replaced due to a chirp noise when cold starting. 10,000 mile oil drains per the IOLM, oil analysis taken every time and it looks excellent. It uses a quart between changes ever since new. Its the quickest truck I've ever owned. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

Only 1 problem:
Went 128,000 miles on the original plugs and truck became slightly harder to start when I got a bad tank of E-85. It would take an extra 3-4 seconds turning over before starting up.
Ran the tank down and refilled with regular gas, problem went away. Still need new plugs tho! Not enough hours in the day.

I think by 2013 they had all the kinks worked out. There was some issues with the pulley system causing knock on the 2011s i believe, but they've since changed that.
I bought mine (2012) with 44k miles too and so far I've had a few issues:
* slip yoke clunk - took it to the dealer and they greased and fixed the issue
* hard shifting - took it to the dealer and they flashed the TCM and PCM and fixed it
* poor gas mileage - jury's still out on this one...only getting 11.5 mpg that stays the same nomatter if I use e85 or 4x4. Thought maybe the hubs were stuck engaged up front but i took it in and they said it was fine. I live close to teh city though so its probably that and winter gas.
