better check your oil, a 5.4 needs SEVEN quarts!

I always check my oil before I drive off. I also look over the engine compartment for messes and check wheels or anything else they touched before I leave.

Well, currently at 22.5K miles, 4wd went out, fixed under warranty, have the steering-wheel nibble/irregular front tire wear issues, driveline/slip yoke clunk, and a leaking rear diff to take care of at next service. It doesn't take a hard look to see that some of these trucks are troublesome. I consider myself lucky that I didn't get one of the TRULY bad ones.

7 quarts of synthetic blend, ouch. I changed my oil Saturday on the same day I filled her with gas. I'll never do that again $$$$ !!!

Do you know what exactly did they did to fix your truck Acticus? I'm very happy to see that they got it all worked out but I'd like to know what they did to fix these issues, as the clunking drivetrain is pretty common on these trucks (like mine). I figure it is just play in the driveshaft/slip-yoke, and they probably lubed yours.
