Taylor Goes Platinum - 2011 Ford F150

[Senor_Taylor]

2 weeks of ownership almost down. Made it 6 days before my first check engine light. P2270, o2 sensor reading lean. I've been talking to someone at the dealer to see if they'd take a look at it considering I hadn't event driven 100 miles yet. I didn't have much faith anything would be worked out so I went ahead and cleared the code and checked vacuum hoses. So far the code hasn't come back, but the PCV is definitely whistling, so I'll probably replace that at some point.

Replaced the spark plugs and they seemed to be in very good condition, but I've been told to replace spark plugs earlier than the service interval to avoid coil failures. Also spent a tiny amount of time under the truck with a wire brush and some rust converter. No need to spend all of this money and not have the frame at least look nice. Nothing seemed too rusty except some some "add ons" that are definitely made of cheaper metal like the tow hitch and the motors for the power running boards.

Also got some weathertech mats which required me to lead off with cutting a hole in it to fit the factory sub..
