    Subtle Clunking

    Yes, after much research, they said it was in the sunroof. I said "bulls**t", it sounds like from the bed or below, etc. Sure enough, they said it was the "rail" in the sunroof and when I got it back, noise gone! However, I have begun hearing it again, taking it back in Monday to see if...

    Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

    Smelling a little BS there... if not driven. I am going Thursday to ride with the chassis guy and the service manager (for the 3rd time), but the bulletin should help.

    Installed 37's on Gen3 35 Raptor - no issues.

    Discount Tire here in Texas had no issues.... but here 37" is just normal... 'cause everything is bigger in Texas... @Jack-O

    You are a ROCK STAR!! Thanks for the info, just sent it over to the Service Manager and Service Tech for my truck. Waiting on a response....

    Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

    Mine is definitely coming from the rear, also. It feels and sounds like a loose golf ball that only bounces on bumps or even a quick turn. Was at the dealer for a month while they talked back and forth.... got to put a bunch of miles on the loaner. Going back tomorrow to get the SYNC/Nav update...

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    So I was thinking the "word salads" that Kamala typically uses pairs nicely with the "word soup garbage" from above. Thought the similarity was obvious.... sorry for being obtuse. Nothing to do with politics. My bad trying to be humorous.... and I won't quit my day job (at least until the end of...

    Subtle Clunking

    When you go, check on a service bulletin to update the Navigation (maybe SYNC itself?). Came out about two weeks ago.

    Steering wheel phone controls

    Here is the 2021 Raptor steering wheel, where the buttons could work as in the prior picture..... Anyone have any good ideas about using these buttons similar to how they are used on every other Ford with steering controls?

    Steering wheel phone controls

    Here is a picture of the "double up" part of the controls, which could easily be done on the Raptor as well.... don't need the pictures, would be great if it could be programmed so that it works using the "Selecting a Radio Station" buttons.

    Steering wheel phone controls

    I have had my Raptor in the shop a couple of times since I got it mid-January. All the low-end loaners they give me have a phone button on the steering wheel. Often it uses the "Selecting a Radio Station" buttons as "double duty" since there is no point of using that for radio when in the midst...

    Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

    Mine was pretty obvious and loud. It is currently at dealer to be looked at. Sounded to me to be right rear wheel area. Much more distinctive than the recording. Literally sound like a golfball loose in the bed that would normally stay put, but on bumps bounces around. Try dropping a golf ball...

    Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

    Believe what you want, but when enough of the rest of us get Ford to provide a fix, I assume you will decide to pass on the fix. Either that, or try to be part of the solution and help by getting the service department to acknowledge the issue. You seem like a smart guy, I am pretty sure you can...

    Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

    Not sure what you are hearing, but it definitely does not sound like a "loose exhaust sound" on mine. Sounds like I have a loose golf ball in the bed that generally stays put except over bumpy roads, when it then sounds like Plinko. THAT is not normal.... maybe try a different dealership service...

    Get it by the dealer's service department so they can identify it, and log it. That will help to accelerate getting a fix.
