Congrats. I'd love to have one of those. I know I'd be ordering a tune for it right off the lot. I love those trucks

Good to hear about the F150, sucks that the Marauder is having issues, hope you get it sqaured away soon, that thing is too nice, and pristine to give up on.

[VMARAUDER]

That F150 Eco-Boost is it. Bought a 14 Lariat in Feb this year and love it but not as much as the Marauder

[gdmjoe]

Just a small *heads-up* regarding some issues that are showing-up on the F-150s ...
EcoBoost FoMoCo has yet to resolve the intercooler moisuture issue that causes sudden loss of power. *All years affected, several attempts to resolve the problem have not.
.
fuel in oil - some of it is a byproduct of DI (Direct Injection), however, the amount is more than expected. *Recent issue yet to be resolved. CHECK YOUR OIL often.
.
mis-fire, sluggish - carbon build-up on the intake valves (IIRC # 2 and # 3). Caused by the EGR being directly empted to those valves in particular. Upper intake/valve cleaning causes the deposits to trash the turbo's. *Starting to show-up on higher mileage F-150s.
BMS (BatteryMangementSystem (introduced in 2011)
*new* batteries with bad cells.
.
battery drain causes ...
.
leaving the key in the ignition after exiting the vehicle and shutting the door. *With this condition the PCM and BCM wake-up every 15minutes to do a system check and then go back to sleep. The BCM portion illuminates the dash during this time.
.
improper battery charging procedure - the -(negative) charge cable MUST be connected to an engine or frame ground point the the battery's post. AND ... The vehicle cannot have any activity (not even opening a door) for 8 hours. *This can be bypassed by having the BMS reset at the dealership using their IDS (Integrated Diagnotic System) tool.
.
faulty shift interlock switch. *Doesn't really engage into P(ark).
.
faulty door-ajar switches.
.
leaving accessories plugged-into the recepticles. *ALL recepticles (12V and 110V) at hot at all times.
.
faulty after-market wiring and/or control modules. *Customer -and- dealer installed.
.
(latest) lack of dielectric grease on the back-up camera's plug/connector in the tailgate.

I had the heat exchanger issue with my '12 one time
After 4+ hours at highway speeds in the rain a little clear sry road and a WOT hit from about 25 mph and it nosedived, CEL started flashing and motor has misfire much like a rev limiter, I had to pull over and shut down and restart to get it to run again.
After that it didn't miss a beat

That thing is NICE! If I went to a Ford truck that's what I'd want!!

[VMARAUDER]

Really Cool...Enjoy the ride

[ctrlraven]

Very nice and congrats!

I've been planning on trading my Taurus in on a F-150 EB early next year when my local dealer is hurrying to get the rest of the 2014 models off the lot.

[sflrainmaker01]

Looks very nice!!! :up:

[Sammich]

Nice truck!

The '12 I just traded was the same color as the one in your avatar.
Great color, freaked me out when I put my porter cable polisher
on it, that is tinted clear coat. Turned my polishing pad red and I was sure i screwed the pooch. LOL

Always better to buy last of a production rather than first of a new model.
Usually Ford gets them perfected just as production stops.

Had the passenger seat cover replace yesterday and it really was a crappie job. Seems like Ford would have sent it to a trim shop as mechanics are just what they are
I wish i knew how to do this seat cover

[boatmangc]

The one I traded only had 21K on the clock, I put those wetsuit seat covers on it right when I bought it, seats were perfect
The new one had A/C seats and leather, I aint covering them, lots of Zaino leather in a bottle instead!!!!
