[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1732687, member: 21926"] Welcome to FRF 2018 may, or may not have a plastic oil pan. Most are fine, but a small percentage leaked and if they did leak, stealership service departments seem to have a hard time implementing the repair correctly. Metal replacement pans came in part way through 2018. Metal ones are not known to leak with the frequency of the plastic pans. ’18 trucks didn’t have the latest cam phaser part revision, so if carfax doesn’t show the repair, get a cold soaked start up before deciding; that is, the truck has not been started for at least 12 hours. the giveaway is a marbles in a can sound at startup that lasts for a few seconds. Moon roof tracks break fairly easily, make sure it works before agreeing. open to the vent position FIRST. If you hear a pop sound, it probably wasn’t used recently and likely not maintained. Once it’s open to vent, close it, open again, close it and then open to the rear. The glass to rubber can stick, causing the track to break and it can jam the glass panel. Popping to vent once almost always breaks that stiction enough to allow the glass to move rearward and not break anything. Get a long test drive and make sure you don’t trip over anything oddball.
