Thanks bostonburner for mentioning "the owners manual"!!! Haha.
I just read this from the manual:
KEYLESS STARTING (IF EQUIPPED)
Note: The system may not function if the
intelligent access key is close to metal
objects or electronic devices, for example
keys or a cell phone.
And then I...
I had my fob in the truck overnight. Come out this morning and the truck wouldn't start. It did not detect the fob even though it was literally on the dash (it was kept in the storage behind the shifter overnight). After 3 or 4 different attempts and just as I was about to go with plan b (my...
I dunno man. I'd take a step back and think about it.
So far, the dealer was responsive and proactive in going through the steps to do as much as they did. At least they found something without much pressure. So they aren't unwilling or uncooperative. It sounds like they just need to drive it...
Sounds like they have a nickel and dime mentality....it's coming from above somewhere. General manager or the service manager or all of the above.
Fill out the survey honestly and then find another dealer for your service work.
Your symptoms and experience sounds very very similar to mine. There have been recent TSB's for these issues. I just had mine repaired and it feels great.

Well, I've put a few hundred miles on it over the course of the last 3 days and it feels GREAT.
It feels stronger and smoother. Honestly, it's so much better it almost feels like a different vehicle. I'm convinced my transmission was "off" from day 1 - the difference is so night and day.
I...
From what I've read (here) it needs to be installed by an ASE cert tech.
Once installed, if the failure could be attributed to the tune, then the warranty could be voided. However, with already having documented issues with my transmission, I'll take my chances on the battle if I were to have...
Msfitoy - 33K on mine. I just saw another thread where the OP reported issues around 22-24K, which is when mine became more noticeable and I started pay more attention to the quirks.
I drove it about 75 miles last night. I don't know if it was placebo effect or what, but it felt better than...
Dealer just called...said truck is done. The SA said "it needed a valve body and a transmission pump"
Not sure if that's on top of the "overhaul" or what. On my way to get it now.
UPDATE:
The service advisor just called me. Tomorrow will be a week that they've had my truck. As with everything else, the update was as clear as mud. Lol. He said "it might be done today or tomorrow...they've started on it....tech has been backed up....he might drive it today."
Lol. WTF...
If Maryland or Delaware are your 2 options, I'd probably recommend Delaware because it's cheaper to live in.
If you choose Maryland, you're going to get waaaaay more bang for the buck on the Eastern Shore (the part of Maryland east of the Chesapeake Bay - minus Cecil County, we don't count...
I've not heard or seen many people here recommend them, but I spoke to a Ranger owner this summer who highly recommended them and preferred them over the Billsteins.
But in the meantime, I just watched a video from an online retailer (Shock Surplus maybe?) who reviewed all of them in depth...
Looks sharp. Any chance you could take a pic down the side of the truck? I'm considering something similar....but probably 285/65. Mine's not leveled, but I'm probably going to add Bilstein's or Rancho's all the way around and lift the front slightly at the same time that I get the tires. I have...
UPDATE:
Just dropped it off at the dealer. The service advisor immediately mentioned my survey. Lol. I told him that I received an email response from the survey detailing what would be done, but I still had no idea what was found in the first place. Were there codes? Did he (transmission...
not much of an UPDATE:
Customer service rep from the dealer called me yesterday. She called me to schedule, but she didn't know what it was being scheduled for....she said Steven told her to call me, whoever and whatever that means....lol.
I told her I was waiting for parts for transmission...
