    Cam Phaser Rattle fixed

    Just wanted to check in and say Ford did me a solid. Recently started hearing the “diesel sounding rattle” at cold start up. Raptor only has 40k miles and I had about a month left on my 5yr/60K mi. power-train warranty. My LFD repaired it no problem…left it on a Tuesday afternoon and had it...

    Just a shout out for this forum.

    All, just replaced my broken Twin Panel moon roof guides (part prone to breaking and jamming the movement). Was super easy thanks to several Youtube tutorials and can't say enough about the Krytox lube - only lube I've every used that keeps the moon roof lubed and operating smoothly. Also took...

    GEN 2 Wastegate Actuator Rattle

    Wow, finally an acknowledgement by Ford that this annoying rattle exists! I posted here a couple of years ago and took it into my LFD, Ford said it was normal (back then) and wouldn’t do anything about it! Been very frustrating hearing my truck rattle all the time. Suspect dealer was...

    2018 Raptor Fender Flare Paint Sheen

    Hello, someone scuffed my rear driver's side fender flare and I'm trying to determine what paint sheen to order. I know it's Magnetic (J7), and think it's a satin sheen, but wanted to check before ordering. Did a couple of searches but couldn't find any discussions specific to the sheen. T.I.A.

    "No Key Detected" and other electrical issues...

    Just a follow-up to confirm it was indeed my battery getting weak that was causing all the issues (see above). Have been driving for 3 1/2 weeks now and no issues whatsoever. I did call the Service Advisor and told him we didn't need to replace/reflash the key fobs as everything working fine...

    "No Key Detected" and other electrical issues...

    FT1, thanks for your response, I had thought the double honk only happened if you exited truck with engine running and key in pocket? Good to know that’s not the case. I do have the FordRaptorLights Fog/spot LED cubes mounted and wired via the Aux Upfitter switches...they’re only live when...

    "No Key Detected" and other electrical issues...

    Well been to the dealer for this and no fix yet. Anytime I'm driving/idling, the "No Key Detected" warning can come on. Been happening for quite some time now and more and more frequently these past several months. Just yesterday I started the Raptor and left it idling, (as I forget something...

    Aftermarket Solution for Wastegate Rattle?

    Older Post I realize, but wanted to bring this back to "center court" to see if anyone has figured out a way to eleminate this rattle? Just had my 2018 Raptor in for dealer service (21K miles) and they did confirm the rattle but said that Ford provides them a way to determine if it is an issue...

    GEN 2 Beadlock Wheel Trim Ring Torque and Thread Lock info...

    Thanks again all for the specs, amazing how much quieter/smoother the Raptor is with new tires!! Even "feels" like it's sitting higher (more so than just extra tread depth);)
