First and foremost, I understood it was lemoned before I bought it but looking on the Carfax showed minimal information and when I called a dealership to see what information I could get, I was told it had the "short block replaced" 60k miles ago. After talking it over with a trusted mechanic, he said that it's probably safe since it was lemoned so many miles ago, and reading the lemon threads here helped alleviate my fears. The truck had everything I wanted and more and at $33k out the door with 73k miles, I couldn't say no. Fast forward to today I decided to try and get the Oasis report from my local dealership and they just handed what I assume is it with no problem. So for your reading enjoyment, here's the deets.
