First the niceties. Thanks to everyone here. I consider this my first stop for up to date information and honest answers. Now the problem. I have a 22 F250 Platinum with the 6.7. It currently has 7800 miles on it. When this truck had approximately 3000 miles I saw that the DEF tank was half full, and since I was at walmart, I got a jug. I added the 2.5 gallons and thought nothing of it. Immediately after, say within 50 miles, I noticed a drop in mpg and the truck felt more sluggish. This wasn't .5 of a mpg, this was 2.5 mpg. From a solid 19 to 16.5. I didn't think too much about it, blamed it on my heavy foot from time to time, and kept on driving. Not long after, I got my first check engine light and the dreaded 50 miles to 50 mph warning. I took it to two dealers. The first basically wanted me to leave the truck for a week while they did nothing to it, but the second was able to help me that day. Just like most here, it is a work truck with bed slide and camper top so I can't just leave it or switch vehicles but I digress. That dealer told me the injector was bad for the DEF, replaced it under warranty and sent me on my way within 2 hours. Fast forward to last week when filling up at a truck stop, I noticed that I had 500 miles to empty for the DEF again. I used the pump to put 6.2 gallons of DEF in it and filled er up. Strangely now I seem to be having the exact same issue with it as I did when the injector went bad the first time. My mpg has dropped to 16.5 again, and the truck is definitely down on power. So far I haven't seen the check engine light nor have I gotten any warnings, but I am concerned that something is terribly wrong. First, am I doing something wrong? I don't believe I am, but want to ask. Secondly, what could be happening to my basically brand new truck? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I checked my online Ford account and it said there was a new update for MFT. Has anyone done the update yet? Any noticeable changes to performance? As a side note, before I could even update, my MFT crapped out and keeps on that black screen with the SYNC word on it. Usually, it'll reboot giving the good old "Performing System Maintenance" status bar. But not this time, it seemed to keep trying to reboot unsuccessfully Always staying on the black screen. Taking the Fusion in tomorrow to have it checked out but I was wondering if anyone else on here has ever had the same thing happen.

Looks like the summer update for Sync will be making its way out soon. Here is a photo posted by Scott Monty, Social Media guru for Ford, after updating his wife's Explorer: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151485142761625&set=pcb.10151485144571625&type=1&theater When asked whether or not it was available now he replied "it's making its way out. I received mine in the mail today. It's an upgrade and improvement"
