[QUOTE="CatchMeOffroad, post: 1261405, member: 19961"] Hi all, Just wanted to let people know what I've been dealing with the last few days. I went on a ~5,000 mile road trip in my 2017 Raptor over Easter weekend. I drove from Detroit, MI to Moab, UT (via IN, IL, MO, OK, TX, NM, and AZ...then back through CO, KS, MO, IL, and IN). While out west, I drove through Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods, Moki Dugway, Natural Bridges National Park, Goblin Valley, and Canyonlands National Park. All of the driving I did was either highway, dirt/gravel roads, or offroad trails which were pretty basic (only 1 required 4x4 due to being a little muddy). The truck had 17k miles on it when I left, and about 22k when I got back to Detroit. While I was driving through Denver on I-70, I noticed that at low speeds (1st-4th gears) and under light acceleration, there was a "knocking" sound right around 2k rpm. Every time I pulled off the interstate for fuel or food, I noticed the sound. The truck ran fine otherwise, with no engine light or fault codes. Once I got back to Detroit, I called the dealer and told the service manager what I was experiencing. He requested that I bring it in and take him for a ride to show him the issue. That afternoon (April 10th I think), I took him for a ride and he was definitely able to hear the sound, even though it is pretty quiet (compared to the CORSA exhaust). He set up an appointment for me to leave the vehicle there on April 17th (last Tuesday). I also asked them to do an oil change since I had just put 5k miles on the truck. This is what the engine sounded like (please excuse the sound of my coat rubbing): [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoBHSCPLsR4[/url] Fast forward to today, and I called to get an update since I hadn't heard from them since last Thursday (and they had only taken the truck for a test drive to confirm the sound at that point). My service advisor tells me that they have ordered a new engine for my truck. :wtf2: He said there was a rod knock and they needed to replace the short block (block, crank, pistons, rods for those who are not familiar). He also told me that their GM has been personally overseeing the process and is in contact with Ford Corporate, who have approved the claim. So now I sit and wait for more news... I'll keep you all posted. Thanks, weezy [/QUOTE]
