Branson wanted the purchasing dealer to pickup ,and go over the machine give me peace of mind everything’s. I told them why would I want the dealer who forgot the refill the antifreeze to go over the machine again when it should of been done the first time. I left it at ,I’ll run the machine for the first 50 hours, and if there is no issue I will call them and have them setup for another dealer to fully go over the machine when doing the first 50 hours service. I also confirmed all emails and phone calls are attached to the warranty files on the machine. You think this is okay or should I push to have another dealer go over the machine before the 50 hours? Other problem is I’ve been out of a machine for a few months so I need to Use it. Don’t really want it tied up for 2 weeks at the dealer. What you guys think?

Just and FYI to maybe ease your mind OP. Years ago I assisted CHP with a pursuit in foggy weather. I knew the suspect driver would crash because of the road he was on. Sure enough he could not navigate the turn as I knew he could not and rolled his Chevy diesel pickup onto it's side. The engine idled like that for a good 30 minutes BEFORE it began to show signs of stress. It was another good 15 minutes before the engine finally seized and stopped. It was a Duramax engine. The driver has screwed up and went to the ER before getting three squares and a hot cot. LOL

So... I am sure your engine is fine. The gauge was hopefully reading higher than actual, which would be in your favor. Diesel's take quite a bite of punishment and keep on trucking. B.
