    Trading Raptor for ....

    There was nowhere I would not take my GEN 1 when we lived in Utah. Burr Trail, Hole in the Rock, White Rim. Left Hand Fork south of Logan was pretty sketch (too narrow). We even found a trail from Flagg Ranch into Idaho that ran between Yellowstone and Tetons. We’ve taken the GEN2 on the east...

    Trading Raptor for ....

    I had a ‘12 GEN1 and got 200k with no real issues (sold it outright for $24k). I do a lot of off-road driving and I am just not happy with my GEN2, built 12/08/17. I feel its a cream puff compared to the GEN1. The bent axle on the GEN2 was my fault but I beat on the GEN1 much harder and it would...

    GEN 2 Bent Rear Axle?

    Had some time yesterday since we got dumped on. It’s definitely a bent axle shaft, checked square on the housing and it looks true. Going to order a shaft, bearing and oil seal, replace fluid and install a new diff cover. I’ll be back out thrashing it in a week. Gonna need @1roadking wheels...

    GEN 2 Issues fixed in 2020?

    Already replaced one plastic oil pan, dealer replaced with another plastic pan. I purchased a metal oil pan for the next time I get a leak in the replacement plastic pan.

    GEN 2 Issues fixed in 2020?

    I saw the update on the Cam Phasers, have they actually got new parts now? Do you know the build date for the change on the 2020? Unfortunately I got one of the last plastic oil pans. I love the Raptor and would like to stick with it, not a big fan of the Tundra’s appearance.

    GEN 2 Bent Rear Axle?

    I am thinking I may just have a local mechanic do it. I pulled the tire, and spun the rotor, you can see a slight wobble, didn’t go any deeper yesterday as I ran out of time. I can get a new axle shaft and bearings for under $300 and pay him the labor. I’m sure Ford won’t warranty it and if I...

    GEN 2 Issues fixed in 2020?

    I am getting tired of all the issues I have had with my Dec 2017 built 2018 Raptor. Cam Phasers, Transmission shifting, Plastic oil pan, Valve covers, squeaky leaf springs and who knows what else. My GEN1 had 185k with no issues ever. I do a lot of off-roading and have a few Jeep owner say “I...

    GEN 2 Bent Rear Axle?

    I was elk hunting this week and on an owl snot slick road and slid out. Smacked an embankment pretty hard and took a chunk out of the stock cast alloy wheels. Luckily the bead held enough air to get me off the side of the mountain and after some select words, got the spare installed. Now I am...

    Quiet tires???

    Not sure @MEATSWORD Never owned any C rated tires, but WE all know what “C” stands for..... Still not sure which Nitto Trail Grappler he’s running at 63.93 lbs but a LT315/70R17 Trail Grappler is a little more stout than that.

    Quiet tires???

    So, tell us which Nitto Trail Grapplers you’re using on you Raptor?

    Quiet tires???

    Sorry you’re right, they are 76.83 lbs, I guess I will get labeled Sasquatch for spreading mis-information.

    Quiet tires???

    Agree, Trail Grapplers are the best option for most aggressive tread to road noise ratio. @Kashoggio Yes, they are heavy (77lbs), but this is an off-road truck, not a track car. OP, What will you do with the truck? Mall Crawl or Tin Cup Pass? You must be religious about tire rotation with all...

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    Ford SSM 48168 says that a TSB is expected to be published 4th quarter of 2019. My issue is not that bad yet and I only have 40k miles on my 2018. I am wondering if there will be new part numbers for this TSB and I should wait for that update. Just want to get the right fix once.

    DMV off roading

    Big Levels - Raphine area has some good trails off the BRP, theres also some good fire roads in GWNF. Once you’ve gotten bored of all the rules in OBX,(it was great 30 years ago when you could camp on the beach) take the ferry from Atlantic out to Portsmouth Island or out of Davis to Cape...

    Leaf springs sag

    My 18 would sag about an inch on the driver’s side with a full tank of gas. Went to HD Deavers +2 and Geiser springs no problems now.

    Cam Phaser Fix

    I think the hard shifting is a PCM programming issue if your truck was built before May 15, 2018. From the NHTSA website: Manufacturer Communication Number: TSB 18-2274 Summary Some 2018 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 2.7L, 3.5L or 5.0L engine and 10R80 automatic transmission and built on or...

    Could not find a TSB on Cam Phasers but found an SSM from the NHTSA site. Manufacturer Communication Number: SSM 48055 Summary Some 2017-2018 F-150 and 2018-2019 Expedition/Navigator vehicles equipped with a 3.5L EcoBoost engine, where the variable cam timing (VCT) unit or long block assembly...

    Cam Phaser Fix

    Does Ford have a fix for this issue yet or are they just swapping out parts? My 18 just started knocking after the dealer forgot to use my Mobil One and put in conventional oil. I picked up a metal oil pan for the repair but they are waiting for a engine mechanic. I’m thinking I may wait if this...
