Dealers suck. They will sell you a muffler bearing.
I'll wait and see for any other replies on here. The truck is well taken care of for the most part. I am going to renew the ESP in Feb 2020

I renewed mine last year with a 0 deductable cost a little more but I can't stand paying $50 every time I bring it in for something.
Luckily when I upgraded my alarm with remote start to the Ford gold system at the dealer it came with a life time warranty.

I hope you get it figured, good luck!

Just an update
Cleaned MAF
Seafoam fuel treatment
Spark plug and wires changed(NGK iridium Granetelli wires)
All completed after Christmas
Still had the delayed startup

Tonight I swapped out my FPDM fuel pump driver module
Unplugged battery and Jcase fuse to fuel pump(yes relocation was done)
Swapped out FPDM located above spare tire
*found out my spare was only 25psi

Plugged New Jcase Fuse and connected Battery
Initial startup was cranking x4 before startup
After that it was cranking x2 then startup. Hopefully this did the trick
I unplugged my battery overnight and will reconnect in the morning hopefully the truck will Remap itself

The only thing left to do is
Seafoam throttle body treatment
Seafoam in the oil prior to oil change.

Techron in the tank > Seafoam in the tank.

Also, replacing the purge control valve has been known to help with slow to start issues. That's all I got.

Is purge control valve easy to changeout??

Very. Can't guarantee it's the issue, though.

Not kidding about the Techron. Best fuel injector cleaner on the market. Just take it easy while you're running it. Runs hot. Can burn your cats.
