FoMoCo has a financial incentive to keep the motors running for a reasonable amount of time, beyond warranty claims at least. Beyond that it’s customer expectations that set the bar. Not many will repurchase an expensive truck if the motor isn’t known to last at bare minimum 100k miles. Most...

Fair point. The first change they did it right w/5W30. Every visit after, they simply ask "same as last time, full synthetic?" And I said yes.

Shady? You're about as smart and helpful as a brick. A company reduces the life of a $75K truck, also diminishes its value (now if I were to sell it I have service records that show it had the wrong oil for 15K miles) and you say I'm shady because I'm asking for ideas on how to make it right?

I wouldn't have put 15K miles in the thread title if I hadn't already checked the receipts from the previous oil changes. They did it right at 5K miles, then f-ed it up each oil change since 10K, 15K, 20K. Truck has 25K as of today and the oil was replaced with the correct oil this morning...

I think it’s funny some of you trust a dealer more than an oil change shop. I worked at a dealer in my younger years… they’re not paying ASE Certified mechanics to change your oil. Same shit can happen and you just don’t know because you’re not there. If I had time to change my oil myself, I...

The morons at Jiffy Lube couldn't get the skid plate back on correctly today. I get done admonishing them for that and I realize that they've been putting the wrong weight oil in my truck for the last 15,000 miles. 5W20 instead of 5W30. Now I'm really pissed.

I'm looking to hook up multiple sets of lights and accessories and I don't want to overload the upfitter switches/fuses... so I want to hook the upfitter aux wires to a relayed power distribution block that is directly connected to the battery. That way the upfitter switches will just be...

It’s still that way... not sure if they did something backwards at the factory or what....

Just bought 2020... climbed underneath and saw multiple hoses and wires bundled together and in harm's way. Anyone else seen this? Sorry if this is old news or other threads have already discussed... see pic:
