What has the dealer done to correct fuel in oil for you

I would love to see a midsize EV truck, but I don't think it will happen soon.

The Slate looks kinda promising, but RWD only is all that's offered initially.

There are rumors of an AWD version soon. That would certainly pique my interest.

Yup. Don't think Ford has any interest in mid size trucks and after the Lightning failed to launch.....

I'm not being facetious, I think OP should get an EV and rent a uhaul for yard work and the like. Keep the battery topped off and the EV won't see issues with 2k miles a year.

Got my truck back today. They replaced the HPFP under my 5/60 powertrain warranty. And a fresh oil and filter change. Will have to monitor the progress to see if that has taken care of the problem. The repair entailed removing the intake manifold so I asked if the tech could grab a couple of pics of my intake ports/valves to see what they’re looking like at 26K. He obliged so I’ve attached them. He also grabbed an oil sample of the 1000 mile test drive oil. They were looking at elevated level on the dipstick. I want to see what that oil tests at. The previous oil only had about 500 mile on it and it was at 8%. Dropped the sample off this afternoon so I should know next week sometime. I’m really fortunate to have a good dealer that works with me. Here’s hoping that this resolves the issue.
Curious for your thoughts on the intake images.

Oil sample for the 1000 mile test drive oil came back today at 6.1% . So now we’ll see what things look like after a few hundred miles on the new HPFP

Update: 1800 miles on new HPFP and oil level hasn’t budged. Looks like it’s resolved. So if you’re seeing elevated levels on the dipstick and high percentage fuel levels in an oil sample the HPFP is definitely a possible culprit. It was covered under the 5/60 warranty.

Fascinating!

Haynes says to discard the fuel pump line and use a new one, and use new bolts -- no big deal

Haynes says to turn the crank shaft to align the cam lobe for installing the new HP fuel pump and has lot of warnings about specific order to tighten the fuel pump bolts -- this job suddenly got real I might still go for it.

You have to also remove the intake manifold to replace the fuel line because the connection to the fuel rail is under the intake manifold. The steps for removing the intake manifold are intriguing.
