Hey Guys,

Just got this a couple of weekends ago. Bought it used with 65k miles on it! its a 2018 with 802a package.
I was skeptical at first, because of the miles, but i dont think it has ever seen dirt, the underbody and engine bay were like new, no dirt or mud anywhere.

Took it out last weekend to Hungry Valley, CA and had a blast!!

Welcome to the place. Congrats on a sweet ride, probably all highway miles anyway, she's just broken in.

Awesome! My story is similar. I bought mine at 51.5k miles, 2018 White 802a SCREW.

I thought mine had a lot of miles when I purchased it lol. But it is 98% pristine!

Thanks guys! yes definitely all highway miles, until now ..LOL.

yes it seems like its running like new, although after scrolling through common issues, it sounds like i have that Cam Phaser rattle on startup.
This is also probably the reason it sometimes shifts rough on the lower gears and low revs. Rattle only lasts 2 seconds, and shifting doesnt bother me yet, so im not worried about it.
Will get it taken care of in the coming weeks.

Upgrades in mind are as follows:
New Shoes
3.0 Fox upgrade front and rear (with deaver leaf kit)
Fog light kit and behind the grill mounted bar.

Will just keep it simple and clean!

Its my understanding the cam phaser rattle is pretty much a startup noise. Meaning it otherwise shouldn’t affect performance of the truck. Still not comforting.

Yep sounds about right (according to what ive read on these forums), it was a blast on saturday (i had it in manual most of the time and music cranked up, so didnt notice it) , but i have noticed a few kicks up the butt just driving from traffick light to traffick light on the way to and from work.
