I'm leaning towards a 'no thanks' and gambling on R's coming down towards the end of the year. They may not but I'm also not excited about getting into another EB Raptor. Latest tech, suspension, seats, are all very tempting but essentially the same engine platform. I'm sure the HO V6 is tuned...
Looks like Ford has instituted their stair step incentive for some (or all) of their vehicles. I received a call Monday night from a dealer and this was their offer on a 37 Package (non R):
- MSRP: $94,735
- $2K off MSRP (802A, Avalanche, spray-in liner, moonroof, hard tonneau cover)
- Fair...
I'm also wondering that as well. I would think that Ford would not send a 1:1 for transmission that hasn't been updated to address the known issues found in that generation part number. I'll ask my service advisor and see if he knows.
I think the root cause was the torque converter but don't have the specifics. My transmission has been in and out of the shop 2-3x per year over the past 3-4 years do to various issues. Multiple TSB's for PCM resets and dealer keeping my truck for sometimes 3 weeks to make sure it shifts smooth...
180K is encouraging. My 17 is at 73K miles and getting a new transmission under warranty after a bunch of harsh shifting services over the past few years and torque converter. How much more life do you guys think I’ll be able to add to my 17 with a new transmission?
Thanks, FTO. I wish I had the answers to your points. I'm at the mercy of my local ford dealer with these IWE issues. My advisor said to me that it's holding vacuum but they will re-check once all the work is done.
With the transmission, the tech took it for a test drive with a laptop to...
Just spoke with my service advisor and he confirmed that the sunroof isn't covered by the extended warranty and is a wear and tear item. Also asked him about the jasper trans and he said Ford approved a new transmission from Dearborn and Jasper was listed in case Ford didn't approve the...
Definitely got max life out of the front brakes. Changed the rear brakes last year I believe. I haven't heard of IWE delete until I searched last night and read a little about it. Does that kit put the truck in full-time 4H?
I don't have anything to gain by lying about the IWE issues with this truck. I wish it weren't true. I bought around 5 check valves and have been replacing them every 3-4 months for the past 3 years or more to alleviate the grinding issues with the d-side front end. I'm just one of the lucky...
Thanks for the reply’s guys. I did purchase an 8yr/100k extended warranty from flood ford right after I took delivery in Jan 2017. Wouldn’t this qualify for a new ford transmission?
Is the manufacturer transmission warranty 5 yrs / 60k miles?
agree. Advisor said they were a week out to get the new trans from Ford In Dearborn but it was odd to me to see a different dealer, Jasper Ford, on the trans order? Do dealers order transmissions from other dealers?
Fellas - just sharing for feedback and perhaps some guidance.
My 2017 was a Dec 2016 build. Original owner, 74K miles. Daily driver, off road on the beach a few times a year. Oil life around 50%. Dealer only servicing. Overall, I'm pretty easy on the truck.
Scheduled regular maintenance with...
I realize ownership is fairly new with the 2023's but I'm still curious to know what are the common problems/issues/annoyances you guys are experiencing with your R's so far as we come to the close of 2023? I'm reading a lot about what is awesome which is great but what on the other side of...
