Andy, I don't know whats going on. Maybe I have "the phantom". I double checked the vin. This # is on the sticker and I checked it with the vin on the truck. Both agree. 1FTNW21PX4EB53473. It was built at the kentucky truck plant and build date was 11/07/04. Thanks

Also, what is the burning rubber smell, for lack of a better term? I can smell it in and out of the truck. Thanks

Gip, I figured it out, for whatever reason the dealer has not reported your truck as sold yet, I kept seeing a generic owner and did not think it was yours....I ran your vin and there no messages at all yet.... Talked with my techs and they agree 3-5mph loss would be normal depending on load, brakes are a little soft on this truck in early mileage-they should get better, the stutter I dont know, we have had some trans engagement issues but nothing real common=get the dealer to check it.....

Burning rubber smell is probably either a small oil leak or something contacting the exhaust....

The cruise control in my 6.0 Ex keeps speed very well. 1.5 mph fluctuation at most, even towing. Late May motor build date.
