Got my rear diff fluid changed today along with a set of spark plugs. This is right at 80k miles. I bought this truck with 70k miles as a CPO and wanted to check the plugs to see if they were changed when they did the CPO inspection. They definitely were not.

I think I would be making a phone call to the dealership!
Unfortunate that some business fail to meet their standards.

Replaced my cabin air filter.

It was MUCH dirtier than I expected it to be.

Sold it since it was stuck in warranty hell. Picked up a new F150 with $6,250 in incentives and $23,000 trade in. It's bigger than I like but it tows and rides way nicer. Interior is a big upgrade over the 5G

I thought about an F150, too. Then I'm back in a full size which I don't need much anymore. Should be an awesome truck! Enjoy it!!

Finally took the time to drop the headliner and sound deaden the roof. It made a world of difference. About 10 dB drop in noise (its hard to tell a hard number because my kid kept screaming messing up my numbers). I did the test on the same stretch of highway at 70 mph though, and I can tell a difference.

There is a small chance I will add another layer to the rear tub and wall area but...it is a small chance. I think, for now, my sound deadening journey is complete.

Looks like fun! 🤪

I have to drop my headliner soon to install my Expedition One roof rack.

Maybe.

Dropping my truck off for the LAST time to get the HVAC looked at as yesterday on the way to church I was freezing and the wife was roasting.

I have brought it in for this issue multiple times, and every time I get the No Problem Found response. And amazingly I always find the problem on the way home from the dealership.

My warranty is up in December.

If I get the same response this time, you will likely see a big sale on a lot of stuff as I return this truck to stock and dump it and Ford from my memory.

I use the same sticks! Well, I've never used them, but I like the piece o
Installed ØNWRD headrest on passenger side. Only thing I have in it now is the fire extinguisher stick on the bottom.

Have one for the drivers side to match.

If anyone is thinking on getting one the standard size fits just fine!

I also carry one on each side and just replaced my two kitchen extinguishers (5# and 20#) with a 100-second stick.

As a past firefighter, I still prefer the standard extinguisher, but the current-lazy me let's them expire ... so what you have is absolutely for the win!
