Party was over before it ever really started.
Picked the truck up a couple hours ago. Drove 17 miles home, then noticed a few oil spots after I moved it into my garage.
Brought it right back to the dealer. Worried it's going to be the same story as a buddy of mine with his R - The front crank seal was bad and they have no ETA on a replacement seal.
Hopefully it's something simple, loved everything about it for the hour I had it :(

This transmission thing has got me worried. Sorry for what’s going on with the yours. I half wonder if they aren’t holding a bunch of trucks at the plant right now to go through all of their transmissions. Tempted to refuse delivery and let them get another year under their belt.

Update from my dealer:

The Tech dug in and believes the oil is coming from the front of the motor, not the rear. They have an oil sending unit delivering tomorrow that they believe will fix it. Fingers crossed that is it...

everything is going to be alright just a cross thread issue causing the trans cooler lines over the front axle to leak. @Forgiven . nothing to worry about if your truck has not left the factory as fp knows about the cross thread issue and is replacing the defective trans-cooler with new parts

This is a good bit of oil for as short a time as it sat. This makes my stomach hurt…quite honestly.

I’m assuming that’s the same as this guy’s transmission problem
Then ?
