[QUOTE="Beinkounter, post: 1404215, member: 36033"] Hopefully, after they replace the valve covers this will be a moot point and the problem will be solved. But I've prevailed in a lemon law dispute before for oil consumption that was far less than 1 quart per 1000 miles. It was on a 2007 GMC Yukon, but as opposed to Ford's approach of acknowledging the problem and offering a fix, GM stalled and tried to argue it was "within specs". Here is the definition: [I]"Within the Song-Beverly Act, there is a presumption guideline wherein it is presumed that a vehicle is a “lemon” if the following criteria are met within 18 months of delivery to the buyer or lessee or 18,000 miles on the vehicle’s odometer, whichever comes first, one or more of the following occurs: 1. The manufacturer or its agents have made two or more attempts to repair a warranty problem that results in a condition that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven [/I](Refer to Smurfslayer's comment above!:D)[I]. OR 2. The manufacturer or its agents have made four or more attempts to repair the same warranty problem. If required by the warranty materials or by the owner’s manual, the consumer must directly notify the manufacturer about the problem(s), preferably in writing. The notice must be sent to the address shown in the warranty or owner’s manual (for 1 and 2 above). OR 3. The vehicle has been out of service for more than 30 days (not necessarily consecutively) while being repaired for any number of warranty problems and the problems must be covered by the warranty, substantially reduce the vehicle’s use, value, or safety to the consumer and are not caused by abuse of the vehicle."[/I] But again, it seems from all the other posts in this thread that folks were able to get this fixed and trucks were fine afterwards, so I am hopeful this will pass.
