Question 1 week minor checkup issues anyone have same?

I would like a FX4 gauge. I also saw nu image has white face and SS gauges for the XL/STX model but I have not seen how they look. That might help me stop looking at all that empty space. Anyone have pics?

Also I will take mine to the ford clinic. Nothing wrong, but I am picky and want them to look at the following:

Check for a new PCM update for throttle. can't hurt
The crank windows seem a little stiff rolling up, not down, could be just too new
some minor paint ripples that the dealer noticed and said he would fix
AC makes noticable click when you turn on and off. sounds like an arc in the relay
after 500 miles the engine is starting to get broken in. I noticed more sound and whining coming from the engine bay on the drivers side on full acceleration. could be air filter? drives fine otherwise

I have 1500 miles on mine and so far no problems. Very satisfied with the truck.

That click from the AC is the clutch engaging. I didn't start hearing mine until about 2 weeks in. I also hear it now every time the AC cycles (probably 3-5 per minute). I took mine in and had them put in a smaller shim so the noise wasn't so bad but it's still noticeable.

Check my thread a few pages back for all the juicy details...if you're interested.
