One reason I don't post on these forums very often is that there is always a smart *** that chimes in with his useless 2 cents worth. I have owned several diesel, all GM, and NEVER had problems. THis is the first and last FORD. As far as FORDTUF1.....best of luck to you and I seriously hope yoiu never need advise and if you do, I hope I am the one that can give you a smart *** response like you feel the need to post. I guess it makes you look big to yourself...mirror mirror on the wall..............
Or, you can choose to lighten up, enjoy a vast amount of knowledge and help from lots of good folks here.

I have 71000 miles on my truck and have not seen the check coolant additive message for a long time. I think at some point it stops reminding you. Maybe they figure it will last to the 100000 mile warranty mark and then there done with it. I plan on keeping this truck for a long time so I changed my coolant in both systems at 50000 miles. Probably overkill but it gives me peace of mind. My dealer actually gave me a free kit to sample the coolant. Why, I am not sure, I think the guy screwed up. I just hope the high pressure fuel pump doesn't puke before 400,000

The $200 Fuel filters are no joke. My crappy dealer wanted $220 before taxes to change them out. He said parts $80 and an hour and a half labor...I almost choked when he said that and that he must be joking. I told him to forget it! I called another local dealer and he they wanted $165. Better but still raping people.
I watched Epics fuel filter video and went on-line and ordered the 2 filters for $56 that included shipping charges and will install them myself. An hour and a half labor, good grief! I will be filing a complaint at the dealership.
