Took delivery….things have gone terribly wrong

[FiveOsvt]

Pure joy has turned into complete anger and a pit in my stomach that can’t be described. Most of you saw that I was trading in my 21 for the 14 with 38k miles. Drove 3.5 hours, looked at the truck which looked brand new on the inside, zero, and I mean zero rust. Test drove it, no issues….done deal…during the sale they asked if I wanted a warranty, I declined as I planned on getting a Ford ESP and did not want some crap aftermarket one…Left with the truck. Stopped off at a gas station 2 hours into the drive back home. I remote started the truck and noticed a little bit of white smoke and didn’t think much of it. Got it home, parked it, and threw my bed cover on. Remote started the truck and thick white smoke poured out of the exhaust, and lots of it. It goes away after about 30 seconds but it’s far from normal. Beyond angry. Called the dealer who claims they drove it around for a week and it never did that. I’m calling BS. They told me take it to a mechanic and claim they will make it right. Not even half a day of ownership. Not how I wanted to get back into a Gen 1…

Pics just because

Well, that stinks. Hopefully the dealer that sold it to you, will make it right.

you said, stopped at the Gas station, something wrong with the gas

Gen 1 do more condensation at cold start ???During wet and cold wheather ?

Are you losing coolant ? Check bottle should be at least half full . Blown head gaskets are not a common issue with 6.2 .

Dang. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s something simple.

Coolant level looked fine. Drove 3.5 hours, no overheating

Check the oil?
