Question for the Ford Techs
I am certain that I'm being fed a line of BS from my dealer. I went in last week for an oil leak on my 2007 F250 PSD. They call me the next day to say it is a bedplate leak and that they were going to repair without lifting the cab and removing the engine. When I picked up the truck yesterday the paperwork said they pulled the engine. When I questioned them on this I got a lot of ums and uhs but no straight answer. The Asst Service mgr called me later to say that in fact they did pull the engine but there is no evidence what so ever that the cab was EVER lifted off the chassis.
My question is this, can a PSD be removed from an F250 without lifting the cab or removing the front clip? I suspect that the cab was not lifted and if the pan was off the truck it sure doesn't look like it.
I'm thinking they found and fixed a lesser oil leak and are screwing FMC for a more expensive repair.
I don't really care what was done to fix the leak as long as it is fixed. What I do care about is having a BS OASIS record and bogus CARFAX history on this truck. Oh, and I ABSOLUTELY HATE being lied to.

Noway to know for sure, but without liftingthe cab, front clip i dont see how they did a bed pate either. They be lyin to ya. I dont know how far up they can jack the engine without remofing it but the oan should have obvious signes of being off at every bolt. Engine mounts show being undone?

You can pull it out the front by removing the coolers and radiator support. You should be able to see evidence around the upper support of it being removed. If not, then maybe a cam sensor was leaking and they wrote it up as bedplate. I thought the bedplate was leaking on my dad's '03 and it ended up being a cam sensor.
