Few questions
Ok guys I have a few questions about my new truck
04 CC PSD 4x4 Lariat under 1k miles
1) I am hearing moaning noises when turning the wheel drastically at no or low speeds.
2) It is loud and slow when cold
3) When I punch it there is a 2 second wait before it does anything
4) Everyone said the over head console would be too optimistic but mine is about one mpg pessimistic.
I realize these are phrased in the form of statements rather than questions but my overall question is
Are these symptoms normal...if not what do I do?

In my past experience I have not had problems with #1 with my 2004 f350 cc PSD. #2 is common with mine much less most of them I have seen or been around, #3 is called turbo lag and is common, and in regards to #4 I would leave it alone, I pray for the day my lie-o-meter shows more miles per gallon than I am actually getting! (mine has been up to 4mpg optimistic) Hope this helps. This forum has been a tremendous help to me so far so hang on and I am sure somebody will have a much more technical response to your concerns!

2) Yep. Give it a few minutes to warm up. Mine is really cold blooded. Switch to a 10W-30 and use a fuel additive like Stanadyne or Power Service.
3) Turbo lag. Normal. I find it responds better to ease into it comparatively rather than punch it to the floor.
4) One of the others will answer this one. I don't have the overhead lie-o-meter.
