Unless you're driving on boost, heavily, then just come flying in to your garage, you'll be fine otherwise. I like to stay off boost for a few mins before coming home in my enthusiast cars, and I've ripped out so many turbo timers over the years.
You can probably get away with a few oil changes before replacing the plug, but fortunately they're pretty cheap. This should be the exact part for your truck:

Same with other vehicle apps. I had a friend run out of charge in their Tesla because they kept checking how the range was doing on a long trip. If they had just left it alone it would have been fine...
I've gotten around this by using an portable power bank on road trips, which charges and powers my devices while the car is running, and then just runs off its internal battery for the rest of the day. Not a perfect solution by any means but a simple one.
Yeah it would be too much of a coincidence for it not to be caused by the coating process. I say keep focusing on the rotating bits and you'll get it resolved.
AutoNation has two locations in Fort Worth, both on the south end of the city. We'd be happy to help!

I would try and take out the shifter and shake it about, those coins will probably find their way out. Or like others have said, perfect time for a dial conversion!
Looks great! If you don't need to haul too much big stuff in the back I think the Expedition is a great choice for a lot of people, they've got really impressive specs, too.
If there are smaller turbochargers then that could definitely affect the numbers. The improvement in response time may be worth the small loss in peak power.
I was just going to say play with the EQ and the mentioned sound dampening is an amazing upgrade if you're willing to put in the work. It can really cut out some unwanted road noise, too.
For a second I thought your wipers didn't have an actual "park" location, which is where they return to when turned off. One of my cars (admittedly still a project car) the wipers just stop in place wherever you turn them off. I've become quite good at timing the low point.
If you can purchase the vehicle from insurance and get it on a rebuilt title, it's absolutely far from worthless. Keep up posted but I would personally consider keeping it with a new bumper. Resale will be less, of course, but you can still drive and insure it just fine.
