    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    GEN 2 Adaptive Cruise Control Question...

    My fellow Raptor owners, recently I've been doing more highway driving with my 2018 Raptor and finally started using the adaptive cruise control. It's a fantastic system, and works very well. I can set it at 78mph and it just sails along. QUESTION: I had a car pull in front of me (abruptly -...

    Hey Jeff, just a quick shout out to say THANK YOU for your excellent customer service and standing behind your products!! After 14 months I really didn't expect it to still be under warranty and you couldn't have made it any easier for the exchange! The replacement KC Flex light arrived and I...

    Check your COOLANT RECOVERY Line!!

    All, hoping this is just a "one-off" but take a minute to check the coolant tank recovery line (right side when facing the engine). It drops from the right side of the tank and connects right below the Throttle body. Super easy to see with a small flashlight. Mine had been leaking/seeping for...

    Newly Revised JLT Oil Seperator (catch can) for the Gen 2 Raptor

    All, just wanted to let you know that JLT has redesigned their oil separator system to specifically fit the Gen 2 Raptors. I had one from my 2016 KR 3.5 EB and the hoses just wouldn't fit under the cover and the firewall mount position was a pain due to a difference in wiring harness location...

    Clunk/Thumping noise on startup?

    Anyone else notice this...when I start my Raptor (mostly when it's already warmed up), I sometimes get a "Thump or Clunking" noise right when the engine catches and starts. doesn't sound terminal or anything, but have noticed it on several occasions now. Did a search and nothing came up...

    All, been researching the various brands/types of LED lights for the bumper pockets on my 2018 Raptor. Nick at Apollo Optics has been very helpful and here's what I have so far: 1) Going to get the "Raptor Lights" 3 light bezel that comes with the KC Flex light in the smaller (outer most)...

    Did the Tailgate (Trunk Release) mod last night...

    Wired the tailgate release to AUX 6 last night and it's a pretty convenient and inexpensive mod. This is the kit sold here by Brendon Webster and was complete with great detailed instructions. Couple of things to share...Ford did a great job of hiding the AUX wiring. There are two sets under...

    Confused (as usualy) but do we have My Color or not?

    I've read the various posts about not having the console gear indicator light (my 2018 802A doesn't have it either) and where folks are adding the ambient lighting system...but while my Raptor does appear to have the ambient lighting (cup holders/door panels/rear floor area), I can't find a way...

    Price Increse on 2018's??

    Hope I'm wrong on this but I just "built" my 2018 Raptor using the Ford build configurator and with the exact same configuration, (I ordered March 8th), the price has now increased by $660.00. Appears to be $560.00 to base price and $100 to Destination Charges. Ouch! No increase to me...

    Forum member spotted!

    Was next to an awesome Shadow Black Raptor today and it turned out it was Murph145. Looks great Murph and thank for punching it for me. That couldn't have been stock exhaust, right? Sounded mean :) Looks great too and good job on getting it at MSRP here in SoCal!
