2008 Ford F-450 Lariat 4X4

According to autocheck, it shows "major issue", here is the explanation. I purchased this truck in January of 2014. Prior to me it was owned by the CEO of a construction company. Due to his company going bankrupt, their was vandalism to the truck and something was added to the fuel tank, resulting in complete engine failure and replacement. Bad news for him, good news for us. I have all of the documents from the shop including work orders etc. The complete engine was replaced at approx. 38,000 miles.Please see attached picture of the invoice
I just had a complete brake job completed, including, pads, rotors and calipers.total invoice was $2500 USD.

Hi I have had some questions related to the history report, In 2009 an insurance claim was granted to replace the engine due to malicious vandalism. Shortly thereafter the bank seized the truck and sat until 2013 when the dealership purchased it via auction. The auction was 05/15/13, not the claim date. To the best of my knowledge and the research I did on the truck before I purchased it, it was not involved in a collision or crash.

I have the work order from Ford explaining the repair that they did to the engine. The listing on 05/15/13 is from auction, anytime they see a claim over $5K they automatically mark it as an accident repair and structural damage, to cover their end regardless of what the actual incident was.
