My salesman and high school classmate sent me the picture on the transport. thank you for helping me track this beauty! It’s my first new vehicle since I leased a Ranger in 2000!

There is an 8 hour break in period for new tractor engines. Lots of shifts in rpm and load percentage based on rated rpm and rated HP. That’s typically to seat the rings and make sure nothing comes apart… Most factory reman engines come pre broke in however, at least from New Holland. There even used to be special break in oils you ran for the first 25 to 50 hours. I think if you look at use case, tractors typically go from the dealer to the field and pull 2,000 RPM and 80+% Horsepower all day long. vehicles have much more variation of RPM and HP naturally with accelerating, stopping, General speed changes, hills, etc. there are tons of opinions on break ins from many people. I plan to do what the manufacturer recommends when mine shows up.

Same here 8-31 order, confirmed same day, crickets so far.

Interesting, I have the moon roof on my 350 ccsb, ordered 8-31 and confirmed on same day. Not scheduled yet. Dealer said that they are short on 6.75’ boxes and the extended running boards in addition to the goodesneck prep for my build, i thought that was interesting also.

My experience is in the ag tractor world but the new HPCR fuel systems don’t like air, at all. The injectors like it less than the pumps. Gelling is just as bad as air. The tolerances are so tight lack of fuel causes scoring on the fuel system parts. Most new diesels use a 2 or 4 micron main filter. If damage is done it doesn’t take long to figure it out but it’s typically expensive to fix.

Thank you Sir. I wasn’t sure if there was a for us to check. I will swing n by my dealer and ask. They must have got their huge fleet order in this week, the lot is full of trucks.

Is there a way for us as the customer to know if our order was COVP approved? I know the way trucks are scheduled is a mystery but it seems odd that I am seeing so many trucks ordered after mine get build dates. I ordered a Lariat F350 6.7 on 8-31 (I understand there are many before me also waiting) only thing that I have that’s been in the commodity restrictions is the gooseneck/fifth wheel prep.

This is interesting. I was wishing I could order the truck with the console shifter. One thing I know I will miss from my 2010 F150 Platinum.

I ordered 8-31, confirmed same day. Nothing but crickets since. No AS or bedliner. That makes me worried. I feel bad for the guys that ordered early and still have nothing.

Can I ask what’s wrong with the OEM oil? I understand everyone has their own preferences but during the warranty period at least it would seem to be a safe bet.
