Well here's a crazy one. I feel like I'm wrapped up in several debates / threads ongoing on ramforum.
2019 Rebel 5.7. 47k miles. Purchased January 2019.
Oil has been leaking from the engine for months. Initially they told me that it was likely a loose oil filter or a previous tech didn't clean up an oil spill from an oil change. Oil kept leaking. We finally convinced the dealer to keep the truck for a week to determine the issue. Diagnosis: Cylinder head is leaking and possibly warped. They ordered both sides "just in case."
Two months later and the heads finally arrive. Dropped off the truck yesterday. Got a call from the service writer today: "Who replaced the exhaust manifolds?" Well, nobody unless you guys did. We bought the truck new from you and literally nobody has touched the vehicle other than you. "The tech said that one side exhaust manifold is missing some brace that is supposed to be there. Because the brace is missing the manifold bolts were too long and went into the cylinder head."
Wow.
