BRAND NEW Tremor - Leaked Every Ounce of Oil

I was thinking maybe it was because it is a 250 and not a 350. But then went with “O” ring. ?Glad they found the issue quickly. You will enjoy the truck and welcome.

Hard telling. We had a thaw, so may just be melt. They took it in after that for prep, that was fresh off the truck.

I soak oil stains with brakes cleaner, then throw oil dry on it. It does a great job
Of cleaning it up

That sucks, hopefully they can bump that warranty up for you. Probably nothing to be too concerned about, except the hassle and the fact it's brand fucking new.

That's not a bad idea! Ask for the Ford Protect "Premium Care Coverage" - roughly a $2,500 product =/-. Check Flood Ford online for pricing. If Ford is in the mix, they'll generally ask the dealer to help buy it down from dealer cost.

BTW, My 2011 6.7, blew two middle crank rods out the bottom pan while I was towing 40ft 5th wheel. Puked all the oil in a 100yrds. Truck and trailer towed to dealer. New long block, sold as soon as it was fixed.

Funny, dealer mentioned the same thing! Of course though, I couldn’t wait that long and cleaned it up myself. Came out of the garage about 90%, but struggling to come out of the pavement. The last few days here in Maine have been in the single digits with a wind chill well below zero - so I haven’t tried too hard on the Pavement!

I have had good luck with the pour and restore product...pour it on the stain let it dry and sweep away...YMMV
