Funny Oasis

So one of my best friends just bought a 05 crew cab long box lariat 350. It is a gorgeous truck all the options, only 29,000 miles 4x4. I was surprised that he bought it, I told him to let me know when he got one so I could get the oasis for him. Turns out the dealer did it for him and he didnt realize what he was reading. It made two trips to the dealer and i think it is kind of weird.

Trip one at 20,000 miles heater control knob

Trip two, owner comment truck is making noise from under hood while driving.

Tech finds heads are warped and replaced them. No back and forth nothing about the gasket popping or anything they just replaced the heads on the first shot.

I guess I am not really asking a question I just have never seen a oasis that they replaced the heads right away like that when it didnt mention loosing coolant or anything. Do you think the owner might have tipped off a tech to do studs? The only mod it has is a 4" exhaust.

Sounds like it. Can you get a copy of the OASIS report?

Well to see if it's studded or not open the hood and look at the drivers side of the motor. Look between the brake master cylinder and the air filter on the head and if you see a 12 point nut like the one in the pic it's studded. If you see a bolt head its not studded.

I could scan it into the computer I guess if i can get it off of him. It really didnt have much on it though. I am at my girlfriends in Pittsburgh now but I will try to get it on thursday when i get home.

Good call about the looking to see if its studded or not I will definately check that.

The heater control knob might have been a stretch all I know is that it was something very insignificant.
