3.5 l question
I bought a used 2018 3.5 ecoboost F150. I’m unsure about using the auto on/off feature.
I’m wondering if all the start/stop cycles will prematurely wear out the starter?
Not sure how much mileage increases by using it.
Thanks.

You don't hear about a lot of starters going out.
I let mine start/stop in the cooler months.
In the summer or stop and go traffic I turn it off.
There are a couple of features that are supposed to disable it.... Sport mode and Max A/C are two that come to mind.

2. I don't think there is much fuel savings.

I bought the Eliminator and love that mine does not start / stop. Starter might be better and allegedly not prone to fail, the battery will suffer, and maybe I'll get a lifetime out of the starter.

I put pne on my 2018 F150 and also on my 2020 Edge. They work great, so glad I bought them. Hardest part was getting the panels off the had to come loose.The truck was the dash and the Edge was the console. I just checked the install on the Auto Start Stop Eliminator web site. for harness installation.
