I went 6900 miles on the Synth blend the dealer uses and it was absolutely trashed looking to me - Still waiting for the blackstone results. Moving forward only full synthetic for me.
I have been holding out on the recalls as I do have the (Lariat) Lasfit reverse, 3rd brake and cargo lights - But it sounds like most of the hyper flash problems are just with the turn signals ?
Yeah my 22 - Eco came with a flooded battery. Replaced under warranty with an AGM and that one died as well. Now on my 3rd battery (AGM) and everything has been fine for the last 9 months.
I just changed out my Eco/Boost oil at 6900 and it looked pretty trashed to me- Waiting on the Blackstone report- Not sure on the hybrid but somewhat amazed and annoyed on how much oil comes out all over the place when removing the oil filter- Just a complete mess. Never seen a filter belch this...
Agree- I better not hear any more of this stick to the budget truck XL concept nonsense - We wanted a full featured truck without the Mid/Size girth- Got exactly what we wanted with our loaded Eco/Lariat/Lux/4K/FX4/Moon-Roof.
If you haven't had a truck in awhile it makes fun things like random tailgate lunches an option, also being able to put stinky things in the bed without the rear hatch - a tonneau cover now gives you another platform to store things while camping or moving things about. Enjoy -
Wow- It's been a nice spring here in Utah- 75 in the afternoon and such- Jumped in the truck at 10am with shorts on and was like DAMN its cold- Turned on steering wheel and seats
immediately-
By 4pm in the afternoon the AC gets a quick session to keep he HVAC system honest :)
Nice- After the airbag recall, and battery issues- Our 22 Lariat/Lux/Eco/4K/FX4 has been solid -
Just changed the oil on our 2004 Element/EX- Owned since 2006 :)
