Oh, i thought you had a 2011 instead of a 2010 - that bulletin refers to problems that occur when the AC is running. Gets more complicated than that, but that's the basics of it.

I had a 4.0 FX4 - It never got over 17 MPG and sounded like it was ready to take off at 70. 4.10 gears

4.0 L gets about 16.5 - 17 MPG on the interstate, never really bothered to calculate in town

The TSB's is for 2011 model trucks for a bad front pump, and it was a fairly limited number of them that had the issue

There have been some issues with ground wires being loose on some of them from reading other forums. Hopefully you can reproduce the issue, take it to the dealer they will fix it if it can be reproduced.

If you have a 2011, you were definitely right the first time - 70% is 70% of life remaining, not 30%. You have to push and HOLD to perform the reset, just selecting it won't change anything. Ford only has one set of oil change intervals for the F-150, and they are the same in both the USA and Canada - it's up to 10,000 miles (or the metric equivalent) or 12 months as indicated by the IOLM display. PLENTY of dealers are finding any excuse in the world to have you come in sooner since 95% of drivers aren't going to make the indicator trip before 10,000 miles. The IOLM sensor will reduce the % of oil life based on how you drive the vehicle and the conditions it is driven in - unless you drive it like a madman it won't drop down faster than 1% per 1000 miles. Note that the only condition it can't sense is excessive dust - driving extensively on dirt roads is the example in the manual. If you do that, then the oil change interval is every 5,000 miles or 6 months. I would like to point out that finding a dusty dirt road in the winter time is just about impossible since snow "dust" evaporates.

There are two circumstances where the OM says to not use the IOLM - 1. If the IOLM is accidentally reset (In which case, change oil at 7,500 miles) 2. Operating PRIMARILY in dusty conditions such as unpaved roads (Change oil at 5,000 miles) For all other driving styles (including patrol car use and extensive idling) follow the IOLM. Your dealer will try to twist the wording to convince you that you're in a dusty area (since extensive idling is no longer a reason for ignoring the meter). My favorite was the local dealer's "The salt on the road makes dust when it dries." Yeah, not every day of the year though, and certainly not more than 50% of the time I'm driving the truck.

Seems to take between 3 to 6 weeks

From what I read elsewhere, they were hitting 12 inch "speed bumps" at high speeds (above 50 MPH) - I view stunts like that as driver error.

Just cut the whole back of the F series cab off to get a similar effect with less headroom - Paccar does it with their "T" series KW's and almost all of their Peterbilts for accessing the sleeper compartment.

I don't know of anyone that has one, but it has over 300 horsepower, although they're WAY up in the upper band of the tachometer. It will get most pickup chores done reasonably well and still tow a small boat on the weekend.

Experiment with different fuel grades if you can - that's been a common question on the Ecoboosts. I enjoyed how it ran on premium so much that I've only filled it with 87 once since then.

Cool - so what did you order?

It's a $250-$300 option if it's part of the truck already - it's $1,000 or more to add after the fact.

I have the 3.73 E-locking rear differential - The differential itself is an open diff unless you pull the knob out and lock the rear axle, and then it's a locked diff. No limited slip or anything at any other time. The traction control is incredible - I've spun gravel from both rear tires on a gravel road even with the open diff, and pulled through some snow that would normally stop a vehicle in 2WD in its tracks. There are 3 traction control modes - Traction Control - this is just the accelerator limiter, press TC button to turn off AdvanceTrac - This is the stability control, hold TC button for 5 seconds to turn off. * All TC turns back on at 35 MPH, or stays off permanently in 4-LO One-Wheel Slip control - This makes the open diff behave as a limited slip diff. Can not be turned off.
