Well, it seems as if I now know why my truck was on the lot for so long.

This is what I got from the OASIS report, courtesy of PowerstrokeHD:

Should I be worried? Pissed? I think they should have told me about this.....

If it runs good, I wouldn't worry as it has a brand new engine. Plus you're under warranty until 2013 or 100000 miles. Drive on.

Bought it new, with 234 miles on the clock.

Probably nothing to worry about, I guess....but a bit of a shock when I read that!

I'm with you on that, I would've s### my pants. But it's a new motor in a new truck and they'll have to warr. any problems. Would've been nice to have them tell you about it though.

I think it is ok, just kinda shady that they did not tell you.

Agree that its probably fine but I would be upset with the dealer for not disclosing that information. I would have used it to sweeten my deal. I would contact the dealer to let them know you found out about it and you arent happy with the fact that they didnt disclose it. Maybe it will send a message so they dont do it again, maybe they will offer you some free oil changes, and their attitude about it will certainly determine if any of your future purchases will happen there.
