perhaps at your dealer service center. It might show up there on an oasis report.

Did you know it had a reman. Installed before you bought it? The plus is that remans are typically better than new production because they have the updated parts that replace the problematic ones.

Get an Oasis report. I will go out out on a limb here and say it was installed between now and 4/18 of last year.

No I wasn't aware that it had a newish engine, I got the truck from a small private dealer about 6 months ago.

oasis report is the dealer system to record all warranty related repairs and recalls.

You can only get it from the dealer service dept.

There were no updates on the 2008 5.4L except the spark plugs that were prone to breaking on removal.

So what if the owner only took it to private shops?

When the 5.4 is running right they are hard to beat, but they can be a hand full at times. My last 5.4 almost ruined me.

My cousin bought a used 2006 6.0 with "low miles" and found it had a reman in it with 187K. He took it back to the dealer he bought it from and they gave him his money back.
