Hi all, I’ve been meaning to post the following for awhile. Some of you may already be aware, but since it was verified that some work I wanted to get it out. The following is quoted from an information notification. “An Officer from XXXXXX Township Police located on a social media page for...

I just bought these, about $2000 for jacks, extenders and truck adapter kit.

The only way to ensure authentic products is to buy direct. I buy most my parts from the manufacturer’s site. The more demand for a product the more likely it’s counterfeit. These counterfeit products will work and some people may never know, but it’s like paying for quality brand tools and...

I have always used 5w40 Turbo diesel in my H3 as a summer oil only, H3 has 120,000, no leaks no oil consumption and it cleans the shit out of the engine, comes out black, oil change every 5000mi. I have used it in my Raptor when I went to Death Valley because of constant driving, heat and I was...

I bought a bunch of new cars and never purchased an extended warranty (no Fords), this was my first time because of the new ecoboost HO, 10 speed, 4 auto, and drive mode technology, but factory 50,000mi drivetrain would have covered the cost of most and replacement of tranny, engine, diffs and...

When I ordered and purchased my 2017 Raptor I was aware that it was new in many ways and had a lot of technology, so when my dealer offered me a 60,000 mile extended warranty I felt it may be best. Recently, when I reached 60,000 I was very happy I got it because of the issues with transmission...

I really wanted a low open rack system, not only because it looks cool but it will carry my RTT lower. However with much research and asking people who actually have them (and were honest) and used them on 30 plus day treks to the desert I decided on my current set up. First the lower rack would...

I did the Trans America Trail (TAT) twice, once in my H3 and once in my stock G2 raptor. The eastern part (east of OK) is not challenging at all, depending on the season and weather (don’t do it in the snow and when it rains expect deep mud and flooding), but mostly back paved roads and...

With Whipple going back and forth from tune to stock is not an option. I spent four days in the area, Unfortunately, I had to be careful not to get myself in a location that I will not be able to recover the truck. Every morning we prayed the codes would clear and the truck will start, so we...

I pulled these on my Android OBD Check Torque App…..Dealer also said he saw misfire codes but I didn’t get the number. P04DB – Powertrain / P02FF – Powertrain / P0027 – Powertrain / P0303 – Powertrain I also pulled a few network codes but I don’t think it was related, probably just due to no...

Round trip from NJ 7,583mi in 18 days with 11.8mpg average. I weighed the truck at a truck stop and total weight was over 8,000 loaded. For the extra weight I added stage 1 91 octane Whipple Tune, +3 Deavers, and E load/S speed rated KO2s Trip was awesome, Raptor suspension handled the...

With the freeze we just had here in the Northeast my passenger door latch froze and door would not close. Fortunately, I was in my driveway and not 200 miles away as planned. I also have a ford dealer 1 mile away that I can get to using back roads. If you have not done this recall I recommend...

Yeah, I disconnected the fake engine sound way back and I can definitely here more noise. thinking of buying fire safe insulator and replacing where they took off.

UPDATE 2: Just want to put out an update for those who are or will be going through the G2 10 speed tranny issue. 2017 F150 Raptor, fully loaded. Purchased new on 2/2017; no issues for 38,000mi. 1. On 08/31/2018 while exiting hwy, Transmission started to overheat lose power and not shift...

Don't know if anyone has seen the repair vids; I can hear the difference without the noise insulation.

I posted a threat regarding my transmission failure last week. I wish I had a way to check the level and color of the fluid but there is no easily accessible dipstick, also I would like the option to add fluid if I have a leak especially if I’m out in a remote area and I have this issue again...

Gonna check fluid level asap, does anyone know what temp the tranny needs to be to use this method?

Update: Unbelievable! Dealer called today and said truck is ready for pick up. I asked what they did and I was told they could not duplicate the problem. I reminded him that the tranny over heated, slipped, would not downshift and dumped a large amount of transmission fluid, that’s why it was...

Thanks......after this debacle I'm gonna check for leaks more often and check the level before a trip. Also I'm checking the level after they complete the service, I have read that they are mistakenly over filling the trans after working on it because it has to be filled at a precise...

Well, I have 38,000mi on my G2 and I have had no issues until yesterday. Leaving the highway and trans started to slip and overheat, a mile later I get to my driveway and there is smoke and transmission fluid everywhere. I towed it to dealer today. Of course they said they are backed up and...

I understand what you're saying…….But if you read my next sentence I explain there are large displacement engines with high 500+HP, however putting one into a truck may produce undesired gas mileage. Just my take, I could be wrong. The very light, aerodynamic with highway tires corvette gets...

I sure hope Ford puts a v8 into a raptor! Not for me but for those who are stuck in the “good old days”. I will buy whatever does the job better, whether it’s a v12 or full electric; just show me the stats/specs. Right now a naturally aspirated (NA) v8 cannot compare to the G2 ecoboost...

Found it @ Ford Parts. you have to search for 2018s and see the 02/26/2018 and later, see below. Only the related oil drain plug has a pic, it's a metal bolt. Pan Assy - Engine OilPart #: 6675 Oil Pan/Oil Level Indicator Usage: 02/26/2018 - 10/22/2018, F-150, 3.5L V6 GTDI;02/26/2018 -...

I have 34,000mi now, at about 5000mi I had the clunking noise. I did pretty much the same thing except I used dielectric grease (it doesn’t breakdown rubber and plastics). For the back part I forced it from the top using my thumb. Never had a noise since.
