I have a 2010 limited 2wd with 260,000 miles on it now and have owned it for 13 yrs. I also use 5w30 every 5,000 full synthetic oil. I said no to the current suv prices even with going to my credit union and told my wife I'm going to get everything fixed. I watched all the videos on the 5.4 that FordTechMakuloco did and went a head and called BSG Automotive (FordTechMakuloco) 181 Commercial Dr unit b, Yorkville, IL 60560 ph:630-687-1207 left a voice and sent an email about the issues i was having and what i needed fix and his recommendations.
