Well the truck going in tomorrow and just wanted your opinion on what do you think the dealership is going to say and do?

First off my truck's an 06 Lariat. Its got 4900 km's(3044 miles)
Its going for its first oil change and service.
My truck has been having a shuddering problem during 1st and 2nd gear change. It is now doing atleast once a day now.
Also I have be having a buzzing noise come from the back seat. I found the source. I'm just wondering want they are going to say because of the DDX-7017, navigation, and the overhead DVD/monitor. Saying its the stereo shop's fault.
The other thing I want to asked them if I have a viable complaint about the gas mileage I've been getting. I've been getting 14 km per liter(9 mile's per gallon).
What do you guys think?
I have been looking at a tuner, thanks to FX4 Matt thread!
So if they can't help my gas mileage maybe the tuner will!

Thanks

 

they will tell you its normal...have fun

 

Didn't you request a buy back or something???
I haven't read all of your thread, but how did it go?

If they tell me its normal, I'll do everything in my power to brake that tranny in two! The shuddering should never happen.

 

"Standard factory quality."

 

Smoke stone...Yea i requested a buy back,finaaly as of last thrusday i turned the truck back in and got a full refund plus my mods,minus milage fees.I went and got a tundra love it so far.I will say this for my truck that was suppose to be normal i wonder why ford gave a refund..

 

Shoeynne, sorry to hear that.....
What kind of mods did you have on the F150?

 

I can't believe you went with a Tundra Trader!

 

SMOKESTONE,I had tonno cover,running boards,vent visors,tinted windows,bedliner and a few other thing that i had put on truck,Call me a trader thats fine i was a ford man for 16 yrs time for change i guess.The f 150 is differant then the tundra but,its rides alot better then the ford.and is fun to drive.I tried to get into a used f150 crew but for what they want for a used one forget it.i got a great deal on my yoda...

 

If you take it to RCF you just have to yell some.
Worked for me.

Hey Norm

Another Windsorite. That's where I bought my truck.

 

If you are getting 14km per litre you are actually getting 8.69 miles per litre or 32.84 miles per US gallon.

 

Dont expect your gas mileage to go up after getting a tuner...the throttle is alot more responsive and trust me....you will have a hard time keeping your foot out of it after getting a tuner...

My best advice about gas mileage?? Suck it up....

 

Thanks!

 

. . your mileage will go up if you drive it the same. Im squeezing 2 more mpg out of mine but Im also running 93 octane.

 

They'll probably change your oil(if they're not short handed) and if your lucky, they'll re-flash for the mpg's .
As for the rest: No problem found (normal operation) and noise from aftermarket audio equipment.Did they say how many days they would have it?
Good luck
