leik is right.. i had the check engine light on at like 50 miles and now my new parts will be in on tuesday.

As long as no crazy issues pop up like the one piece spark plug issues on the 04-06 5.4 f150s, then ill be happy...

At least this engine has been in use for a while in millions of different cars and trucks... So i feel a little more optimistic about this all new vehicle

I haven't had any of the mentioned problems. My outside temp is pretty accurate and the only vehicles that I know of that show you the actual tire pressure are GM vehicles. I do miss that detailed info on this truck, but it's must better than the almost nothing I had on my '07.

When did they start adding the fuel saver light? I've never had it come on, even when cruising at 70mph on the highway. I'm guessing i don't have it.

That's disappointing to here it does not display the tire pressure for each wheel. Some Chrysler products do.

My Jeep has it and I am glad because the system is always having TPMS error message issues in the cold. I can see the pressures for each wheel so know when to disregard it. If all you get is a dummy light on the Ram that could get real annoying if you get as many service TPMS messages as on my Jeep.

I had a check engine light come on at 3,100 miles was a misfire in the engine but it corrected itself.

As for the tpms system my indash computer says which tire is low but not the exact pressure, and the cold and heat issues are pretty much null in void with the wireless system they are using now and the good thing about it is most tire places can change out your sensors for you. Like discount tire, I ordered some new rims for my truck from tirerack.com and they only charge 20 bucks to rebuild the sensor on the new rim.
