    So far on my 2016 after a week I have noticed these issues:

    My air vents are letting air through like the recirculation is turned off, I've tried clicking the button on and off and it doesn't change anything.

    I also can't figure out if there is a way to turn off the Limited Slip Differential because its automatic and I couldn't do any donuts at the beach yesterday :( I turned off traction control but that's all I can really turn off that I know of.

    I haven't read the manual yet either...

    Feel free to post other issues you have seen.

    :popcorn: This should be interesting to see what others say. I myself haven't noticed any problems yet, but time will tell.

    So you are running your AC in recirc mode, right? What is your indicator that the evap is being fed outside air? If it is, certainly a warranty issue.

    What is automatic? The LSD or the transmission? Regardless, why would LSD prevent donuts in sand? But props for wailing on that new ride! All the better to break it in with!

    Actually one of the biggest issues I've seen around here.

    Along with blown out dome light circuits, apparently now determined to be caused by folks using budget LED replacement bulbs.

    Differential won't prevent you from doing donuts. But becareful when you wail on it, there is a 1000 mile break in period on the transmission.

    Well there was just a loud clicking noise when I was wailing on it as I was losing traction. Traction control was definitely off though because I tested that with it on.

    Also I won't be worried about the transmission bud, I have it in manual shift mode, so its not shifting through gears like crazy

    I don't think he was talking about it shifting like crazy. I think he was referring more about the seals setting properly before you hammer down like that and put it under a heavy load.

    It's not leather or felt seals and this isn't the 50-60's. It'll be fine

    Ok. Have at it then. I'm sure the engineers that engineered this truck have a reason for the break in period.
