    So because i know better than to trust a used truck salesman it must mean I'm a company driver that's never bought a truck. That's your logic? Really?

    Dude im sorry this happened to you. Honestly am. Hopefully you are able to bounce back from this and doubt repeat the same mistake. And just as importantly hopefully others see this thread and don't make the mistake of trusting a used truck salesman.

    Even with a new oil change? I mean most dealers have fresh oil in it clear as water.

    Actually they don't always do a fresh service until they got a buyer. Just because of an oil sample being required by knowledgeable buyers. If it's been changed, you gotta shell out the money for a dyno. But you should be doing that anyway.

    It's no different than buying a used car. Time to dismount that high horse.

    Not if they had a fresh oil change on it like previously mentioned, which they probably did.

    How long after buying the truck did you find out the problems?
