Hey ROcky...

All you need is the VIN # of the truck, take it to Ford, and they can print/give you a copy of the Oasis Report.. It'll show warranty work, recalls ect. for the last 180 days..

It will only show what has been done at Ford...

Or go to http://flatratetech.com/6literpowers...ultimatebb.cgi register and go to the OASIS threads. Give them your vin#. These are a bunch of diesel techs.

A good bargaining 'tool' would be to swing into the service dept. of the dealer selling 'the' truck you intrest in, and then have them print you out a copy of the Oasis Report and present it to the sales rep. They can't despute any info. especially if it was generated from their own service dept. :-X22

Feb 03 ???? That's prior to the problem solved period by a long shot !
I'd pick another truck --- and there's LOT's of them out there !

Thanks to all for the info. I drove the truck today and had the dealer do an Oasis. It had a PCM on 4/20/04. Is that a good one? The truck ran fine and had plenty of power but I've read here where some of the re-flashes can cause a significant downturn in fuel mileage. Also noticed a stain on the bell housing but the ground was dry and the truck had been sitting there awhile. I read on here also that could be assembly lube meltdown and it's been in the 80's here lately. I like the truck and I admit part of the reason is the price - $28.5k with 10K miles but I know a lemon isn't a bargain at any price. Any insight would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
R0cky
