OP makes their 1st post on the board after 3.5 years - nice ! LOL It's just getting broken in at 250K ! What kinda maintenance stuff did the truck need ?

Still trucking along... Changed the oil yesterday. Rear pumpkin gear oil drain/fill last Sat as well (was a breeze w/ that LPW diff cover I installed a couple of years ago).

Changed out the air filter...

Please make them stop with all of the Magic Creeper or Dustless Blasting commercials - seems like those are the only products funding those automotive shows. LOL

Probably gotta wait for the air brakes to build pressure... LOL Might want to post up a short video clip if you can so others know what it sounds like ? G'luck 2nd Genner & may the force be with you !

@taitanium - May want to try using the e-mail that was listed for him earlier in this thread (read past the 1st post of this thread, his e-mail address was listed/mentioned a few times by other posters - I don't know him or his company, never bought from him but keep in mind that this thread is...

It wouldn't hurt to have an independent shop/mechanic give it a look prior to purchase just to make sure there are no "surprises" if you aren't comfortable checking it out yourself...g'luck !

Get you a case of Amsoil HDMP from Freedom Motorsports (vendor on here) and call it a day. :)

Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack...ka-boom !

Welcome aboard. :) You could have used the Gen 1 "general section" sub-forum since there's no specific "transmission" sub-forum under the Gen 1 area of the msg board, but this new member section you posted in as good as any for the time being (a mod could possibly move the thread for you if...

3 LEDs on, yep. Turns on when brake is applied, yep. :)

Def some type of overspray (aftermarket application - these trucks sure didn't look like that when they left the factory); someone was lazy and didn't properly mask off those areas but that shouldn't be a deal breaker on a potential purpose. With that being a MN truck though, I think the better...

Sounds like you need some further clarification from the service advisor - did they mention anything about how they were replacing the engine (long block / short block) or what specific part(s) they were waiting on (perhaps waiting on a back-ordered / delayed part) ?

Don't sweat it - like these other guys said, that's normal - especially during frequent, short trips during cooler/colder weather.

Yes, no doubt. LOL

Let us know how it turns out !

^ Passenger side PCV catch cans will usually collect a decent amount of oil in between oil changes IMHO; I had about the same amount in mine just prior to my last oil change (guess it depends on the mileage as well, YMMV). Post up a pic of your setup, maybe a hose is kinked (?) or the design...

Fluid level checked out OK under the hood ?

This looks to be your old tranny thread, for reference btw (you can search under your "past postings" via one's profile): https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/list-of-the-many-problems-during-first-50-000-miles-now-the-transmission-is-dead.65846/

^ Nice, is that Royal Purple in there ?

Slick 50 oil treatment or else ! Kidding, of course. :)

Congrats. Post a pic, that color is likely "terrain." :)

Maybe I missed it, but @Boss379 did you perform a cooling system pressure test already?

So the load / piece of machinery was 9 feet tall and weighed about 2000 lbs, correct ? Got a pic of WHERE it was positioned on the trailer (for all of the "land based" loadmaster experts out there LOL) ? Perhaps the load (depending on its surface area; got a pic ?) was "creating" a large...
