My poor 2019 in for an oil leak...

One look at that shop and the mess left under your pickup would convince me to never step foot in that dealership again...I pray for you and your rig

The lack of a cover/rag to protect the turbo in that filthy disorganized shop is also very concerning.

man... they're are scrotum deep in it.

yikes... unless the tech is worth a crap.
then, less yikes.
 
That was something I've talked to my guy about several times and he's a big fan of just pulling the cab if he's got to do more serious work on any of the big 3. Easier to get around the engine, easier to get a solid look at what hes working on, and easier to make sure he's got everything buttoned up before the cab goes back on. Former Navy mechanic that's meticulous with details so I trust him a lot more than most dealerships to pull a cab, but it's more common than you think. If its easier for the guy to work on it he's likely going to have an easier time doing a better job. That said a lot of his money making work is high mileage or someone did something stupid engine rebuilds so he's got cabs in the air every time I see him.

Much faster/ easier to pull the cab.

Having pulled the entire front of my truck apart for the cam and lifter swap, I agree.


And will you look at that, someone else has the same red/brown truck as I do.

My 2019 mega cab is at the dealership for an oil leak between the block & timing case, and also for the CP4 recall. Hard to see it in this state...View attachment 50624

I just noticed my 2019 with 35k on it has a very mild oil leak coming from behind the Crank pulley... I'm hoping it's doesn't turn into a mess like this.
