Truck finally bit the dust.... NEW TRUCK!

Oil eater.
I still use CD's plus my IPod.
In a diesel you're supposed to let it idle for a cool down after strenuous use. Are they recommending the same on the gas turbos?
A Two Girls Garage episode had them swapping out the turbos on a 3.5 Ecoboost. At 80K one had failed. They are buried. I wonder if premature shutdown caused the oil to coke up and condemn the turbo?

We went through all of our CD's and made them digital.

Though she is going a vinyl phase...just bought a record player, so there is that. It is bluetooth too...find that a bit oxymoronic. Ha!

Why you lease the new fangled stuff...trade that crap in before the warranty is up!

I love my 2.7. Even with 9k behind and on hills it it never felt under powered. If I set the cruise at 65 I can get ~28 mpg... about 10mpg better than the Tundra that it replaced.

Also... get a boost gauge (or use the app Torque) it really helps with fuel economy.
