    Mine blew at 18K.... The plastic guide cracked and kind of collapsed causing slack in the chain and thus ... the issue Trucks been running great since. In my case i am sure it was not a heat issue.

    2017 3.5 Ecoboost Timing Chain or Wastegate Rattle?

    I think I know this one! Just went through it It is the timing chain. Could be the timing chain guide has broken. That's what happened to me. This will get worse until the valve timing gets so far off the the check engine light goes on and the truck starts running poorly. You need to get...

    2018 motor noise

    Cam Phasers.... So my 2017 just had the check engine light come on and it started running rough - Almost like a dropped cylinder but not as bad. Dealer says looks like a cam phaser or sensor issue. (I am assuming they have only looked at the error code, as they have not put a wrench to it yet...

    Gibson Exhaust

    Has anyone installed the Gibson 3" exhaust? It $615 it is comparatively inexpensive. Gibson is the only MFG I see make a HP claim: +15. I find this a bit dubious adn "salesy"... Torque numbers are far more important. how does sound level compare to a Borla S dual sys? Any experience out...

    High flow down pipes

    Thanks for the info. My plan is to add a tune and exhaust. I’ll contact a few tuners for more info. The right tune with a cleaner exhaust should scream on a twin turbo motor. I just don’t know how good the stock DPs flow on the raptor

    High flow down pipes

    Has anyone installed performance down pipes with high flow cats? Is there much of a gain? I would assume that software upgrades would be much better with cleaner exhaust. Cat back systems may sound cool but reall offer little in performance gain. Looking for real world input. Thanks

    GEN 2 Anyone have Raptor Computer Network Woes

    Update to all: The dealer called and the issue was my rear tail light. Looks like truck was hit and tail lamp cracked. Water had collected in the lamp housing and was causing the computer issues. It took the 3 weeks to find this out.... While I love the truck, I miss my 68 w/300 inline 6cyl ....
