He confirmed everything I saw, heard and most of what I was thinking. Many things seen to be expected obviously like many of you mentioned and I also agree with. He thought the idle was like many of the 6.2l he jumps into. He said he sees a lot of driver side rockers go bad first. He could hear the tapping under valve cover and intermittent white noise or swooshing I can hear. Its not "bad" loud imo yet which he agreed with and no related codes. Non car people can't hear it. We did see a steering wheel position sensor code(old or new?) that he wasn't concerned about since the dealer just changed the battery and we are not seeing any tcs lights etc.. I will ask the dealer for an alignment after the tire installs and ask for a code check.Man I love that dealer timer plan.The extra 6 months was part of the gap they offered not something I needed and will likely pay it off early with the higher interests rates these days. The mechanic recommended a warranty and we talked about things like replacing rockers prior to codes etc., warranty inspectors etc.. I bought this truck to use it for what it was made for so the tranny, motor, diffs, 4x4 parts etc., A/C, steering components, bearing, hubs, radiators-fans are all gonna need some love at some point probably before its paid off. A new tranny is about 5k installed. I am going to go thru my bank for the warranty which is mercury mechanical protection so hopefully they won't be the nightmare I hear carshield and others may be.So unless the non-ford dealer I am buying the truck from fawks me on the new windshield or tire installs I have decided to keep this beast!</blockquote>
