Sounds like a good time to ask Ford to kick in a 200,000 mile 0 deductible extended warranty. It would be great coverage for you and great PR for Ford.
I would have said time for a "Buy Back", but you purchased it new and were aware of past history problems.
Of course in a gesture of "Good Will"...just maybe?

Update: Got in my truck this morning and the check engine light was off and stayed off. Took it down to the service center anyways this afternoon and was told that the code needs to be active when I bring it in, otherwise any work they do won't be covered by warranty. As a result, I was told to drive it until the light came back on (hasn't yet). In addition, I got to thinking last night and wondered if there might a short somewhere in my wiring harness, which I suggested to my service manager, who said that it was definitely a possibility as they never replaced the harness, only the PCMs. Guess I'm driving until it codes again :/

I kinda remember a fella had a similar problem. His would do it after driving down a gravel road. It was a chaffed harness. But I can't remember where it was. Maybe someone else will remember it.

Seem to remember something about a short in the front wheel well or behind it. I don't know what it was for.

Just thinking
Could it be do fuel tank not being fully cleaned during the fuel pump replacement
Could it be a learning curve for the computer because of the major repair.
When you replace a engine there are a lot of thing that need to be hooked together correctly. This is my guess.
I love my 2012 its been a good truck. I hope your get to this point.

Don't know yet, but I'm taking it in today and will update. Just so everyone knows, I've got 55,000 on it, but I think it was probably a lemon off the line unfortunately. I do really believe in these trucks, which is why I haven't given up yet. If it came down to it, I'd still get another one.

Well the check engine light is back on with a new symptom. The truck now is idling and driving rough at low speeds, and appears to be stuck in a constant regen cycle due to my lack of prolonged highway speed driving. Back to the dealer tomorrow it seems...
