How do you like those tires? I plan on putting bigger on my truck after getting rid of the horrid 3.08 gears, looking for something rugged yet fairly quiet. I am building a cabin in NE Oregon and have an 11 hour 1 way drive and don't want to hear tire noise the whole way.
Lets see some full size pictures...

I believe there is a TSB about an updated valve cover design with different baffles for oil usage, if I remember correctly.
Usually a TSB is just saying we know of an issue and a repair, but not to the extend of a recall yet.. What year and engine? I can look up pretty quick.. for a 2012 with the 5.3 the TSB number is 10-06-01-008M

Yep. Had a couple TSB's on my truck but no warranty coverage. I'm still miffed at Ford over that.
It made a difference on 2 of our customers vehicles, and offering a bit of help. Your choice, I have over 140k on my 5.3 and doesn't use or leak a drop. I am also a 30 plus year ASE Master Tech, so I do all my own repairs.
I worked for Ford for a several years, constantly working with their engineers and warranty department, put a bad taste in my mouth. Swore I would never own a Ford again (Don't tell that to my motorhome).
No problem. Unfortunately per TSB 01-06-01-011K that is within the parameters of acceptable oil consumption "0.946 liters (1 qt) in 3200 Km (2000 miles}" If your consumption just started out of the blue, it i possible your PCV could have failed, pretty inexpensive part to replace.
