Swapped out the stock rear cover for the Dana Spicer / Ford Performance one today at 9000km and the diff fluid was very dark grey/black - Not that the color necessarily means it’s no good but I’d highly recommend an early change out after seeing that.
I don’t have a 2.7 but those are interesting. Used to have a VW and it’s very similar to an OEM 2.0T FSI filter from a VW GTI. Mann Hummel makes those.
Had the 'B' part number installed a couple of weeks ago by the dealer to deal with the squeak. Surprisingly had it in stock so there was zero wait and downtime. 145" WB
Congrats on the new ride as a fellow lower mainlander.
I think it’s a good idea you got the extended warranty even though it comes at a bit of a cost. I went back and forth of the Powerboost vs. getting another 2.7 like I had before and bought the Powerboost knowing I’d likely have a few...
I thought most of the “stop safely now” messages were mostly on first start not while actually driving..
I had one around the same mileage as you, within the first week of ownership but it hasn’t happened again.
For those of you that have changed the diff cover or replaced bolts. What’s the correct size?
I see two sizes called out on multiple forums. Some say 5/16, other sites like Ford parts lists an M10 bolt as being compatible with a 2023 9.75.
Thanks!
Just had mine replaced today - 8700km on the truck. Surprising the dealer had on in stock. They installed part number is PL3Z5A212B. Looks like the other part number members have been mentioning is an ML part number so maybe it’s been updated.
I had a list of issues with mine including that “service charging system soon”, “trailer brake fault” and the dreaded “stop safely now”, no start situation once. Plus the truck went into deep sleep even after a drive. All of that was apparently connected to that low 12V on the main battery.

Your 12v AGM is likely not ok even though the dealership says so. I just had the battery changed on my 4 month old PB and that code is one the found during my visit.
After seeing how much a new 12v battery ‘fixes’ a lot of the issues it’s clear that having a good battery is essential in these...

EIWE issue...
Why does everyone think it is a grease issue? Generally speaking the viscosity of most greases doesn’t magically become peanut butter at 0C. This happens exactly at 0C or less which seems like more of a software or built in feature, not that it should be of course.
What do you mean the 23’s ditched them? Once I was <0c I most definitely noticed the grinding EIWE on the truck. In the 4 months I had it preceding up to that point I never once had it do the warm up or whatever it’s trying to do.
Thanks for the info. Just seems weird as you don’t necessarily go driving every single time you open it and it just as easily stay off until you actually hit that start button.

I’d like to know if anyone else has this run when the truck is off. It seems like a source for a battey drain if it’s just operating whenever.
Interesting to know it’s for fuel vapor. I thought it was coolant maybe as the line felt like fluid was running through it but I guess it could just be the vibrations from the pump. I’m any case it seems weird that they’d just start running.
Yup, drivers side to the left of the transfer case. Small grey box with a U shaped coolant line running into it. If it’s part of the evap/emissions system you’d think it would only need to run with the engine on.
Something interesting I noticed today. Truck was cold and hadn’t ran in over 24 hours. I unlocked it and went underneath to look for leaks since I just got it back from warranty work yesterday and I noticed that a coolant pump (?) was running under the left hand side close to the transfer case...
