    Cam Phaser Rattle fixed

    Just wanted to check in and say Ford did me a solid. Recently started hearing the “diesel sounding rattle” at cold start up. Raptor only has 40k miles and I had about a month left on my 5yr/60K mi. power-train warranty. My LFD repaired it no problem…left it on a Tuesday afternoon and had it...

    Just a shout out for this forum.

    All, just replaced my broken Twin Panel moon roof guides (part prone to breaking and jamming the movement). Was super easy thanks to several Youtube tutorials and can't say enough about the Krytox lube - only lube I've every used that keeps the moon roof lubed and operating smoothly. Also took...

    GEN 2 Wastegate Actuator Rattle

    Wow, finally an acknowledgement by Ford that this annoying rattle exists! I posted here a couple of years ago and took it into my LFD, Ford said it was normal (back then) and wouldn’t do anything about it! Been very frustrating hearing my truck rattle all the time. Suspect dealer was...

    2018 Raptor Fender Flare Paint Sheen

    Hello, someone scuffed my rear driver's side fender flare and I'm trying to determine what paint sheen to order. I know it's Magnetic (J7), and think it's a satin sheen, but wanted to check before ordering. Did a couple of searches but couldn't find any discussions specific to the sheen. T.I.A.

    "No Key Detected" and other electrical issues...

    Just a follow-up to confirm it was indeed my battery getting weak that was causing all the issues (see above). Have been driving for 3 1/2 weeks now and no issues whatsoever. I did call the Service Advisor and told him we didn't need to replace/reflash the key fobs as everything working fine...

    "No Key Detected" and other electrical issues...

    FT1, thanks for your response, I had thought the double honk only happened if you exited truck with engine running and key in pocket? Good to know that’s not the case. I do have the FordRaptorLights Fog/spot LED cubes mounted and wired via the Aux Upfitter switches...they’re only live when...

    "No Key Detected" and other electrical issues...

    Well been to the dealer for this and no fix yet. Anytime I'm driving/idling, the "No Key Detected" warning can come on. Been happening for quite some time now and more and more frequently these past several months. Just yesterday I started the Raptor and left it idling, (as I forget something...

    Aftermarket Solution for Wastegate Rattle?

    Older Post I realize, but wanted to bring this back to "center court" to see if anyone has figured out a way to eleminate this rattle? Just had my 2018 Raptor in for dealer service (21K miles) and they did confirm the rattle but said that Ford provides them a way to determine if it is an issue...

    GEN 2 Beadlock Wheel Trim Ring Torque and Thread Lock info...

    Thanks again all for the specs, amazing how much quieter/smoother the Raptor is with new tires!! Even "feels" like it's sitting higher (more so than just extra tread depth);)

    FSA 21B10 - Cam phaser update?

    Awesome, thank you hadn't heard that yet. Last I'd read, (admittedly a ways back), was that dealers were replacing modules to no avail. Thanks!! If I'm reading this thread right, on the Cam Phaser issue specifically with the Raptor, the software re-flash will be available in May time frame...

    GEN 2 Beadlock Wheel Trim Ring Torque and Thread Lock info...

    All, searched for this info and couldn't find anything, (which was surprising), but am going in for new tires this week and just removed the trim rings (so as not to have them damaged/scuffed). Can anyone share with me the torque number for the trim ring bolts and the thread lock? Mine have...

    FSA 21B10 - Cam phaser update?

    Awe man, my 2018 (June build) Raptor has been making a rattling sound on cold start-up for awhile now, trying to convince myself it was just an exhaust shield rattling but after reading this going to take it in. Problem is, (no offense meant to anyone), my last Ford dealer's service dept was...

    GEN 2 Sunblock on seats! Help!

    Hey guys, please correct me if I'm wrong about this, but our leather seats have a protective "film" on them so leather conditioner won't penetrate or do any good? What I would like to know is other than cleaning, is there anything that will condition the protective coating/layer? OP, awesome...

    Beauty Ring Torque Specs?

    Perfect, was trying to find out if the trim rings were to be removed or left on for a tire change. Picked up a screw right in the center tread and going to have to take into tire shop for repair/replacement. And rather than have the trim ring bolts over torqued/stripped, I'll remove/reinstall...

    Peeled mine off day 1. I suspect Ford puts them there so new owners know that that piece of the tail light contains the radar unit and not supposed to be illuminated...

    Don't tell the Gen. 1 guys I'm over here.....

    OP, I have a late model 18 (build date June 2018) and really dig this truck. Look for a later build 2018 as they have the metal oil pan, and pretty sure (someone correct me if not) the updated CAM Phasers. Also, the B&O sound systems is MUCH better than the Sony "Preimum" system before it...
