You will have to see a dealer and ask kindly for one.

Any pics? pay attention to the exhaust, tail pipes, look for coolant splatter under the hood, coolant level and color.

stand-by, looking at the pics

Well, pipes look good, degas bottle does not. I think from what I could tell in the pics it is way low. So I think a flush is in order on that one...come to think of it, the tail pipes looked a little rusted. Wonder if it is loosing coolant out the EGR coolers.

I think I would want a flush and a pressure test of the coolant system if it were me.

I just found that thread a few mins ago!
I was hoping the vin would indicate month built, but doesnt. I have a pic of the door jam sticker but cant see the date.

I would consider purchasing an extended warranty with the truck that covers things you can't see such as the DPF. I know the warranties seem expensive but if the DPF needs to be replaced it is a $3,000 repair. Just my 2 cents.

well, that is about right for items, nothing out of the ordinary. They did the venturi-T at the same time as the radiator which is good.

So it also has the flash on it that shows the cleaning exhaust filter message till completion.

But I think there may still be an issue with the coolant. Hard to exactly tell in the pic. Did you look at the truck in person?
