I'm hesitant to even post this, but here goes.
My 2017 with 34k miles has intake, catch can, downpipes, 5 star '91 daily' tune and NOT ABUSED was making a slight diesel sound between 1500-2500 rpms for a minute and then low oil pressure warning. Uh-oh.
Luckily I was within eyesight of a Ford dealer, so I left it with their service department. Bad news, they're saying catastrophic failure, most likely spun a bearing hence the low oil pressure. They're assuming metal shavings ruined turbo bearings. Quoted replacement long block, turbos and install 13K.
Need to talk to Livernois Motorsports, but they have "Pro" series short blocks for $5,800 and "Race" series for $8,000... Pending miscellaneous cost and what-not, I'm gonna guess somewhere around 15K will get me a bulletproof engine and upgraded turbos.
But, to be honest I don't use the Raptor as intended. I'd be served perfectly fine with a regular F150.
So what would you do? The way I see it I have a few options... to be honest I miss having a V8 and I absolutely love the Coyote motor, I'm leaning towards trading the truck on a Nightmare or just a Lariat and put a Roush/Whipple on it eventually. I'm waiting on the dealer to give me a trade-in price before making any decisions.
***Update***
Dealer offered 37k for trade as-is.
Currently they’re dropping the oil pan to inspect, cost of $763.
