Next thing i found was the Headliner had a deformity in the back from The ones who installed it at the plant. I also Found hand prints on the headliner. Also They are gonna realign the liftgate its off Slightly. Last but not least found the right Front door had hit the front fender at the plant and they Did a hatchet repair job so body shop Dealership is having to fix that before We sign the papers.

Do not put premium fuel in a EcoBoost motor
sideswipe replied to sideswipe's topic in EcoBoost Mod & Tech
Went and talked to service manager he has the 3.5 eco boost and he told me premium is fine. You cannot put e85 in a eco boost engine that will Faul the plugs. My sales representative told me Wrong -
Do not put premium fuel in a EcoBoost motor
sideswipe replied to sideswipe's topic in EcoBoost Mod & Tech
What he told me is it retards the timing which in turn fauls out the plugs he has had a few vehicles in for that issue. He is right about it retarding the timing because of higher octane. Our vehicles are set up to run on regular unleaded. When I get to the dealership I will ask the service manager if he has had any of these problems -
I just found out it will faul out the plugs. talked to my salesman he said he's had customers already with that problem running premium fuel
-
Also post what octane fuel being used.

Mine took 8 weeks to get to Dealership
-
Working there they have alot of tests and Tear downs trying to find problems. Some Times problems dont show up until they Build alot of vehicles. I cant tell you how Many inspectors they have looking at Each vehicle looking for flaws. Some Times issues with vehicles get to the Dealership and have them fix them. As long as they get there numbers Out the door at the plant thats what Management cares about. They do Catch alot of stuff in house but you Are talking about 1200 vehicles in a 24 hour period. Alot of car Companies do this some are better Than others at catching defects.

Hm where to start 1. Stand at back of vehicle and look to see if everything is flush nothing sticking out on either side of the vehicle 2 check for bent or scratched applique on each door 3. Check each door for rattles 4 rubber molding should overlap all trim pieces including lift gate 5. Door sills should be firm to floor push down to see if it moves. 6. Look at all the windows for chips scratches or cracks 7. Check headliner for hand prints or dirt 8.look at all your seats for rips or deformity 9. Look at carpet for fit 10. Look at gaps around doors hood and lifteget Make sure all even best is use finger and look. 11. Open front doors look how close it comes to fender. 12. Open back doors look how close it comes to front doors. 13. Rubber molding around doors make sure all push pins are secure just tug on each one 14. Use flash light at front fender by hood hinges looking back towards door should be sealer in there. 15. Look at roof for any deformity not many people do that one. Will add more little later. When ever i think of something else will add to it.
