Yet when you go to dealer for oil change they slap on a tag that maps out next oil change 7500 miles out, I only found out about acceptable burning range from this forum. Never got any thing in mail or any warning from dealer.

I wish ford would have offered to pay my payments, even though I won the case I still have to wait for ford attorney to work out the numbers and then I have to wait for ford to contact me about surrendering the vehicle, in the mean time I must make all payments or else my credit will be affected.

That still seems like excessive burning to me, unless you track the car anytime your in it.

I think when the technicians installed my 1st replacement motor they might of did something incorrectly, they did put the correct amount of oil in for the first oil change though because the car still burned 1.5-2 quarts in 750 miles during the consumption test.

I got to thinking today about excessive dealer markups, 20k for new raptor, 20k for civic type R and of coarse 10-20k for gt350. What puzzles me is this, as part of a lemon law buy back ford will reimburse me for my down payment, taxes and fees paid plus reimburse me for every payment I've made...

I've already won my case, attorney instructed me to let them install new motor.

My lemon law case has already been won, just waiting on opposing counsel to negotiate with my attorney over how much money I'll get back. I don't understand why the legal department doesn't communicate with the warranty department, why install a new motor if I'm releasing car in two weeks?

Im going to try for a trd pro but will not pay over msrp, I hate dealer markups.

Ford finally contacted dealership and allowed them to order 2nd motor replacement. I was told that I will never know what issue with motor was.

I think a new tacoma should be fine

exactly my point

Last week I took car back to dealer for oil consumption test, burned 1.25 quarts in 750 miles, they were also able to replicate pulley sound experienced during cold starts. Ford had another field engineer fly in and perform tests, I'm still waiting on his decision as to what to do. To make...

It only happens on cold starts and is a high rotation rattle.

I also have a video of a valve rattle upon startups, can't seem to be able to upload it for you guys to hear?

My oil change was done less than a month prior to issue.
