Yup, now we know why it was traded

 

Just got back from the ford dealer and the guy I talked to was real good he got me an appointment for tomorrow and said not to worry it would be covered under warranty

 

Good news! Did he look at it or have and idea what it is?

 

He had an idea what it was but didn't have time to look but said regardless he would have it taken care of considering I've only owned the truck a week. Good to know there are still some good business people out there

 

I hope it works out. A 2011 with 87k miles on it- that's a lot of miles.

 

Tuesday I went to my local selling dealer to buy oil and filters and to catch up with my service rep about replacing the steering dampener. The service department was out of Motorcraft oil filters and brought me a NAPA filter. He said this is all I have til the truck comes in. I told him I would be back later for a Motorcraft filter. I have nothing against NAPA, and apparently neither does Ford. It's possible it was serviced by a dealership.

 

You may want to pay for a quick inspection by Ford just for piece of mind.
Questions such as, does it have the correct coolant?
Does the coolant test pass?

 

Thanks kper I definitely will be doing that. And yes this truck has a lot of miles for the year but for being 22 and saving for this truck myself with help of any co signers or anything I had to find the best deal possible for this being the year make and model I've wanted. I also plan to purchase the esp for as long as I can

 

Your picture looks exactly like my oil leak when I found it on mine.... end result was the composite oil pan leak. Ford changed mine and all is good.

 

Please look into purchasing a Diesel Motor Warranty ...you can get 13 major engine componets covered up to 200,000 miles or 8000 engine hours....this is a Ford product. Shop around for the best deal.....also do this before the truck reaches 4 years old / original date of purchase and it must be done before the truck reaches 100,000 miles. I have 2011 FX4 with 105,000 miles and yes I have had issues but nothing major....I change my oil every 5000 miles and I use a Royal Purple oil filter......I do this because ....I choose to....good luck with your truck and keep us posted....

 

Got the truck back today. From what I understand it was the inlet oil line for the turbo ( not the most mechanically inclined) but was told it was a simple fix. Also had them look over the entire truck. Props to the service center that I took it to as this was a no hassle deal done. Anyone have any extended warranties bought on there own? Been looking around for good pricing for a good deal. Thanks again for all the help everyone

 

I just bought a leftover 2012 F-350 Lariat with the 6.7 and long box crew cab. I bought the 7year/100,000 bumper to bumper. Love the truck so far!!!

 

Hi mackman1994,

I have a buddy looking for something similar. Are there some good deals for the leftover 12's? Thanks

 

My advice is do not buy a third party warranty. Buy the Ford warranty through the dealership. Shop around and negotiate.

 

There are a couple of threads on Extended warranties. Do a search and you'll see some good options. I just purchased the Premium Care warranty from Troy Deitrich (sp) and he had great prices and service.
