Thanks for reply. I plan to give that a shot at Discount Tire. Also think I'll just replace all 4 despite my earlier plan of just 2. Looking more closely last night, not alot of tread left on any of them. Safety first . . . especially at 90-100 mph.

I have stock K02's on my '17 Raptor. Just last week noticed this center-wear issue on my passenger-side, front tire (tread pic). It's almost bald. Passenger rear has similar wear pattern, but not as pronounced. Anyone else experience this? I drive fast, but rarely "peel out." Believe...

My 2017 hard shifts from 4th to 5th and only in Sport mode, too. Too common to be a coincidence. More common on commute to work (cold) than on way home (warmed up a bit). They updated programming last dealer visit and it smoothed out, but only for a couple weeks. Seems to have migrated back...

Per my TX DPS encounters, having it on your dash doesn't satisfy the law. May satisfy the officer though.

Just got my 3rd (and presumably final) warning from TX DPS. Never pulled over just for that (last was 101 in 75), but they always look regardless of the cause. I honestly removed it because of garage clearance. The removable one linked by @wipit will do the trick for me I think . . . install...

Based on, among other things, threads here re: the grinding issue tied to the IWE, I drove in 4A for a few days. Like the OP, the mechanic at the Ford dealership I go to in Houston and my service adviser gave the same warning--don't drive in 4A all the time. They said something about it...

Had the same grinding issue and found that Ford had issues a Special Service Message ("SSM") on it--47329/47360--which described it as follows: Intermittent Grinding Noise From Integrated Wheel Ends (“IWE”); caused by an intermittent leak in the check valve; occurs on acceleration only and...

BajaFred: Thanks for post on rattle upon acceleration. You PM'd some info to one poster. Mind doing the same for me. My Raptor is barely a year old and just starting exhibiting the issue/sound you mentioned. Thanks, sir...

Under 3k miles. It "jumps" from 4th to 5th roughly, but mostly when engine is cold. Tune up do the trick?

I experience hard shifts in Sport mode, but only from 4th to 5th and when the engine is cold. Doesn't seem to happen once warmed up.

Despite programming, resetting and reprogramming mine several time, they still don't open either my security gate or garage. Any tricks or recommendations beyond what I've read and re-read in the owner' manual? Thanks.

Any Suggestions? Several posters question the need for such a protective measure, but has anyone answered the original poster's question? I'm interested in protecting my new 2017 Raptor's fuel tank from vandalism as well. Park in reserved parking at office, but garage shared with a high...
