5,000 mile update
Well I recently hit 5k on the odometer, a lot faster than i expected after some long trips to eastern washington and Redding, CA. I am still in love with this truck. According to fuelly, my avg mpg is 16.6, which may be a bit skewed because of a few partial fillups that register in fuelly as 0.
No issues to date. I just came back from a tire rotation (No charge, thanks Les Schwab!) and first oil change. I chose to go with Castrol EDGE with Titanium full synthetic. I had the choice to go Mobil-1 for a few more bucks, but the EDGE with Titanium is sometimes argued to be better than Mobil-1. I figure if I want to keep this truck for 10+ years, I better pay a bit extra when changing the oil.
Only additional mods planned are DZ tailgate assist, and the polyfill subwoofer mod which I haven't gotten around to.

Thanks, not to shabby. After watching videos last night that someone posted on this forum in another thread of Jiffy Lube charging for flushes and oil changes that they never did I doubt I will ever trust them enough to go back. I would rather pay a bit more and know it was done. Now if ford dealerships ever get caught doing that I don't know what I will do. I saw a thread about changing oil on the EB and it did not look easy.
