    You need to either get the oil cleaned off and trade it at another dealer , preferably for a brand new truck , or : it would be terrible if your truck , which is fully insured, caught on fire from the oil leaking onto the hot exhaust pipe .

    that could cause the entire
    Truck to be destroyed by fire .

    When a guy screws himself, he has no one to blame but himself. Personal accountability has all but been lost.



    keep in mind we all share insurance companies to an extent. Claims affect everyone’s rate. ####s high enough as it is

    Sorry this happened to you. As another poster mentioned you are in a bad spot, especially since the sale was "as is". I recommend you contact an attorney, it will be a long process however things turn out. Hope things work out for you.

    Maybe take a different approach. Say what kind of engine and where the leak(s) are coming from. Maybe someone on this site can help you just fix it. I'd at least try to fix it if it's just oil leaks. Maybe post some pictures.

    Maybe the AC isn't working because the air pressure isn't up yet?

    I have my fair share of knowledge of A/c repair on trucks, but this comment threw me for a loop. Can you school me on this one?
