Yeah that makes it tough. Don't give up on it, it will be worth it in the long run.

dont plan to.. nice thing is i know the engines 56K miles younger than the rest of the truck... Oasis report said the block was replaced then due to finding coolant in the crank case.. ntm a sticker on the valve cover saying "THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED ENGINE!!!" then goes on to state that i need to use the newer head gaskets if i ever have to replace them...

Yeah, that is a plus. Being dealer installed it should be no issue and you might have an extended warranty as well.

I do like Charlie's camel better.

Tim, RE lift: Ford dealer near me in NY put in a asymmetrical lift and had to pour another pad on top of the existing floor to get the required depth for fastening. Weird set up as you drive up to position the vehicle. Don't know why the didn't just do some digging....

Got me. Probably tried to do a quick patch. Kinda like spray painting a bondo repair.

You would be surprised how cheap people are when it comes to concrete work.
Sad thing, the 2nd layer of concrete gives them the depth, but is not the strength needed
If you've ever seen a poured cap separate, you would go the extra expense of doing it right the first time
