Lol

they are good trucks, I wouldn’t worry much. Fuse 27 is the only issue I was worried about and it’s a easy and cheap fix.

Do yourself a favor and get a 5.0 or 6.2. Eco has way too many problems especially with the timing system which you will have eventually.

The power steering isn't so much a common issue, it's just EXPENSIVE.

Agree with this, I have my personal Eco to back that up.

I agree. I have owned both a 3.5 Eco and my current 5.0 powered truck. Would not touch an Eco with a 10' pole. I will not get into the details here, you can search my ID for more info on my Eco experience.
