At the very least, documenting it with dealer may give basis to repair the failed part for free when warranty runs out (since the part showed sign of failure prior to that).
Thanks. I will try that.

I also wanted to add some observations I have made.

My 2011 had the base seats and base audio (US Spec)

The 2013 has multi contour seats and Premium Audio.

Multi contour seats
I used to read multiple posts about how good these were and used to think people were exaggerating. I think those posts understated how good these seats are. When I get an F15 after my lease is up I will have to make sure I tick that option

Premium audio
OMG, I think this option is only like $1,000 but this is another $1,000 worth spending. (Not sure how much it is on the F15). I like my music loud and I still have not reached the max for this system.

Active steering.
I did not have this on my 2011 and the jury is still out for me on this one. The steering does look and feel great though. Maybe I haven't really pushed the truck to appreciate this feature.

The 35d may be a little slower than the 35i but the truck drives in such a way that you don't miss the few ticks the 35i has over the 35d. The tq which I now feel makes the diesel experience great. I think I will stick with the d on my next purchase 5 out of 5 so far
