What’s a 22k mile service?
It likely has already had 1 extra oil change and unless it needs another, there is nothing else to service.
IE, since you’re angling for “free” stuff, go after something useful. Like free future services or whatever.
PS if they’re giving you ANYTHING besides a truck for your purchase price, you didn’t get the best price.

Again, no need to overcomplicate and bicker. Several times I have taken a vehicle or RV in for warranty work, it is there several days or a couple of weeks. I get a call..."We are unable to replicate the problem." I pick it up and under a close inspection at home find witness marks showing that disassembly and reassembly had occurred. And like magic, the issue is no longer present... Not sure why they do it, but they do, and it won't show up on any online search etc. as officially it never happened.
DW always gets mad, and thinks I should call them on it..I don't bother. Fixed is fixed. I got better things to do than argue about how something got fixed.

Last oil change was at 15000 miles It's now at 22000 miles. I feel it's due for an oil change and possibly fuel filter . A CPO vehicle as I understand it is checked out and receives necessary maintenance before being sold.
Not asking for any more than that.

My Last post on this thread for this deal.
I was told when the truck came on the lot last week that it will be a CPO listed sale.
Well as it turns out it isn't and so I walked away.
Truck was purchased new out west and brought east and registered and titled. This was registered as a commercial vehicle
..Within a month of purchase I carafax has it flagged, listing as no thet true mileage as reported by motor vehicle department. Not sure how this can happen but that's enough for me.
Dealer thought they could straighten out the issue with carfax as being a mistake of some sort, but I guess not.
At this price point it's a no deal for me.
I am not in a rush to purchase as my Ford runs well in the meantime.

Some states require HD trucks, or trucks over a certain GVWR to be registered commercial. It seems to me that this is more common back east. IMO, it is a brazen money grab for those states
