F450 leaking again
My 2022 f450 has been at the dealer for 8 days. For oxygen sensor, (not NOX as it wasn’t in limp mode)
but, oil pan was leaking again when towing. After 8 days they said they put dye in it and don’t see it leaking. I showed up to show them how to fix it. Showed them the leak and wiped it off with my finger.
one of the techs noticed my transfer case seal to my rear driveshaft was leaking really good, I didn’t notice at first. Why would that be leaking, a bad universal causing this? I did not notice this two weeks ago and I inspected it with a fine tooth comb! I had to tell them to fix it as the first guy, put dye in it, and overlooked the pan, and transfer case leak.
Just find the leak at the driveshaft strange as that is usually a sign of bad universal joints or improper balanced drive shaft.

I finally got them to replace the oil pan for the 3rd time, and replace the seal at the transfer case.
nothing surprises me with a ford truck anymore, I’m surprised the motor hasn’t blown yet😁

Buying a new vehicle is a crap shoot at best. Some luck out and then there is us....Everybody sells way overpriced junk.

pro to keeping it is I get away from the ****ty ford dealers, cons these damn things are built strong but weak seals, and 10 spd longevity issues, heavy towing.
I don’t worry about the fuel system.
But the back pressure from emissions just destroys the engine seals if heavy hauling. No I’m not going to a gas, it would blow up.

on the fence of getting a duramax or just keeping this one and deleting it fully at 50k miles, egr, dpf and scr. And the ccv which causes oil seal blow outs when the spring inside fails.

GM still uses silicone gaskets, same as ram, but for some reason GM isn’t as prevalent to blow outs like ford is. Out deleted 2011 model gms never had an oil leak except for a seeping lower oil pan. 250k miles. I am just partial to GM because the LML duramax from 2011-2016 you couldn’t destroy if you left the factory tune on it
