Yes. I did adjust it, and it worked perfectly for me. I have since sold the truck due to the incessant clunking, but at least the exhaust tips were level!
Sorry to hear that. Luckily I didn’t get the clunk on my 37. Did however get the misaligned exhaust. Will play with it this weekend

Good luck! And I came out okay on the Raptor. I paid MSRP and traded it for more than that. I bought a Tremor and am driving that until I get the '22 Raptor I ordered!

Went over mine for the first few days reviewed the list and found the plastic around the lower part of the front springs and sent my phone on video and stuck my arm in through the drivers wheel well to check coolant line at lower pulley and no issues. I found two paint issues a fish eye on the drivers door at the right pillar and what looks like clear coat paint run at right front fender. Took to dealer waiting for a call to get it fixed.
UPDATE: Dealer sent truck for paint repair for 3 days and they just polished out the nibs and fisheyes which seem to be in the clear application. They were careful and did not want to get to where they had to re-paint so it was just polishing. It turn out good all the nibs were gone and the right front fender they got most of the run out but if you look hard you can just see very little wiggle in the finish, but hard to see, so I am happy with that.

Also had the insulation recall and I did notice that the dates of the recall for built trucks was two days after my build. So I asked about the recall and they said my truck did not have the insulation and was not a issue. So I can assume that somewhere around my biuld they either changed how it was attached or eliminated the insulation alltogether.

Probably will still have the clunk as mine does.

Found loose nuts (one missing) on the drivers side tailpipe hanger bracket. Just passed 2,000 miles. The passengers side were still tight but I still took them all off and put a generous amount of blue Loctite on them. I’ll probably end up replacing them with nyloc nuts at some point as they should have been from the factory since it’s a high vibration area.

It’s been a love/hate relationship with this truck so far and unfortunately, we may end up trading for a new Tundra.

Anyone have a rattle on their sunshade in the ceiling toward the back of the truck? When I hit any bump it rattles. Also still have a rattle near by back window. Had a loose subwoofer and fixed that but there is still a rattle. I will been looking.

I found all of my fuses needed to be seated, misaligned exhaust tips, plastic around the shocks, a rubbing sensor wire in the inside of the wheel and wire loop tape everywhere.

I tried aligning the tips but I couldn’t get the right side up high enough to match the left. Any tips??

I have noticed a rattle when I am listening to music with more bass. I had also tightened the subwoofer in the back and noticed the other day that it definitely seemed like the sunshade.

I just dropped my truck off at the dealership. I can just tap on the roof panel and it makes a god awful rattle where the sunshade rolls up in the ceiling. Rattles the whole was down the road. I have a video of it but too large of file to post here.
