The more I think about it the more I'm ready to get rid of this truck. It's been nothing but issues since new. I was planning on keeping it for 10 years but I'm not sure it will last that long. Don't know what I would get to replace it but I'm leaning towards a 250 with the 6.7. I've driven a 5.0 and was not impressed. Maybe another F150 with a 6.2 but I can't find any around here. Decisions...decisions...

I got enough gas in the oil the last change that it was starting to come up on the dipstick after 5K miles. I'll change it early this time around too if it gets to rising
on the dipstick.

Damn phone.

Mine was way up on the dipstick. I drained an extra quart of fluid than I normally do. Something is definitely different than my past oil changes. I'm going to check it often now and see when it starts rising. I'm pretty concerned at this point.

I wouldn't worry about issues that you don't have.

I agree. I have several friends with EBs and I'm the only one who keeps having issues.

I would get it checked ASAP. I think the reason a couple of guys on here ecos blew up because of leaky injectors. Of course that's not proven, but I wouldn't chance it. I love my truck, and have a blast with it, but sometimes I feel the same way as you.

That's what I was thinking. I ordered the black stone kit but it will be week or two before I get any info from that. I'm going in vacation next week and really need the truck so I'm reluctant to take it to the incompetent dealers here. Hell I may just trade it tomorrow. I can pick up an F250 screw 6.7 XLT for $39k.
