    What are you looking for in a Gen 3? (With Survey)

    I’ll play. I honestLy believe ford realized they should have offered an 8 cylinder in some fashion on Gen 2, so my bet is they will more than make up for the lack of options now. Power boost V6 hybrid as base, New 6.8L (based on 7.3 Godzilla, but graphite iron block, aluminum heads w/ both port...

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    Heard back from the dealer (Bozard Ford - St. Augustine, FL) - (btw, I live in Orlando - I’m not impressed with my local dealers.) I am all good to go. I want to say this dealer is the absolute best I’ve ever dealt with, regardless of manufacture. The service advisors text you updates as the...

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    Just in case anyone cares for an update (I know I would have), the dealer was super cool and accommodating. Right when I arrived I explained my situation and he mentioned he has dealt with this issue in the past and that he’d put his top tech on it starting Monday and they won’t rush it to “do...

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    My truck has been running harsh lately and just yesterday finally through a CEL: P0012, P0022 and P0056. Intake cam valve timing retarded. I’m bringing it in to my dealer today. Thoughts on flashing the tune back to stock or bringing it in as is? Cobb Stage 1. The dealer is mod friendly, so...

    Cobb Stage 1 Engine Knock Issues

    Not to thread jack, but what is the reason for “avoiding” ethanol free fuel? My truck seems to like the ethanol free 93 premium better than anything else I can get around here (maybe with the exception of Shell V power Nitro). Thanks

    2017 - 2018 Raptor Updates

    Transmission TSB for calendar 2018 build?

    Does this include the 2017s as well? MY 17 shifts like crap and I'm tired of waiting for the COBB TCM tune. Build date 6/17. Thanks,

    Cam phaser replacement equals oil change?

    Are you tuned? My phasers only act up at start up, then the truck runs normal (besides the terrible transmission shifting).

    A very long, but excellent read. Takes opinions out of the equation and sticks to factual testing data. https://540ratblog.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/motor-oil-wear-test-ranking/ /Thread

    What do you think of skip-shifting?

    Interesting. Idk my build date, how do I find that? I can take a video. It’s embarrassing.

    What do you think of skip-shifting?

    My 2017 shifts worse than an old John Deere tractor. I honestly cannot stand it. I should video how bad my 17 shifts.
