    Bought a tuned truck from a dealer???

    Also, the way they may be able to tell is the start/stop cycle counter in the ECU. When you flash a new tune, that number may get reset. If you have 30K miles on your truck and they find that there are only 10 start/stop cycles in the counter, they will know that some process reset the ECU. In...

    Seeing that Ford announce that the Raptor R is really coming..

    The only way to stop the ADMs is to get rid of the monopoly that most automakers have with the dealers. Give the people the option to buy direct from Ford and see how long the ADMs last at dealers.

    My Raptor fits in my work parking garage by an inch at the roof.

    My Raptor barely got into the parking garage at Sea Tac airport. There was a few pucker moments going up the ramps. Had to stay towards the outside of the circle to be safe. Back in 2007 I bought an FJ Cruiser. Before I took it to work, I went around the parking garage and checked and measured...

    Updated Gen3 Spy shots

    I was driving through Moab back in August and saw a convoy of camouflaged Ford F-150s being led by a naked 2021 F-150. I believe the camo ones were the Gen3 Raptor as the 2021 regular F-150s had already been released. Didn't have enough time to get pictures :(

    Obvious statement: 5.0 versus 3.5 Ecoboost HO

    I just got back from a long trip that I used the raptor to tow a travel trailer. The trailer was between 5700 and 6000 pounds. I was climbing hills and mountains with no issues. I was blowing past larger pickup trucks with ease. I'm happy with the 3.5 HO Ecoboost.

    GEN 2 Engine starts and stops right away

    Seems like this is a known problem with the Ford F-150 fuel system. I guess the 36 gallon tank is so big and the fuel lines are so long that this happens. I don't agree with Ford's advice to not park on an incline and to never let it get down to 1/4 tank. It almost seems like there are no 8...

    GEN 2 Engine starts and stops right away

    Also, the truck doesn't shudder or make stalling noises when this happens. It just shuts off. Possibly some protective measure for what it is deeming to be low fuel or low fuel pressure or any of the other things it could be in the fuel system. It should not be doing this.

    GEN 2 Engine starts and stops right away

    Nice to know. Were you on an incline? I hope this doesn't happen going down a long hill...

    GEN 2 Engine starts and stops right away

    8-10 gallons in the tank is not running out of gas.

    GEN 2 Engine starts and stops right away

    I ask myself the same thing. I have a SCREW with the 36 gallon tank. Before this happened the tank showed 1/4 full, which would have been around 8 gallons. I did fill it up until the pump stopped. The fuel gauge registered full at that point.

    GEN 2 Engine starts and stops right away

    Today I was getting ready to go out in my 19 Raptor. I keep it backed up my driveway which is an incline. The fuel gauge showed 98 miles left. I started it and it ran for awhile and then shutoff. I got a message about auto-start stop needed to be reset. Then I got a low fuel warning and the...
