Drive your truck through the side of the shop and say, looks like she needs brakes too

I have a 2014 F150 3.5L 172K.

I recently had to chase several coil pack/plug failures (To be honest, it was my local shop that was chasing) Intermittent miss, but would not throw a code. They did diagnostics, but nothing. Every time I was under load (pulling camper uphill) I would get misses. Frustrating! (When is the "shoe" going to drop?). But shop was patient and so was I. Finally threw a code and they got me in to read. We after replacing coils & plugs/chasing misses that did not throw code we had 3 coils and plugs replaced.

Also had a burnt oil smell at start up. (Exhaust manifold. Nothing hitting the ground) Power brake booster AND valve cover gasket. ($1250 or so)

Shop never charged me diag until they found issue. I have my oil changed there and all of the above probably ran me around $3K over 4 shop repair visits. They have a top tech, but he is 2-3 years from retiring.

I love the truck and she is running smooth and strong. I have owned it since 2017 and 39K. I will run it into the ground.
