    Slight Oil Burning - Maybe Easy Fix

    My truck was burning about 1/2 - 3/4qrt oil in 5000k miles. Reading a few posts here I came across the post linking to another forum where replacing the valve covers was discussed as a potential fix, but when I had it at the dealer they said that didn't apply to the Raptor....not sure if true...

    Guidance with Ford Corporate, bad transmission?

    Hope you are back on the road quickly. Looking forward to hearing the diagnosis. To answer my own original question, I would call the 1800 Ford Customer Service number and open a case with a regional rep who can help push things along. This saved me at least 2 weeks of down time and placed a...

    Guidance with Ford Corporate, bad transmission?

    Slow update, but I was out of the country for a while. After contacting Ford Corp and being assigned a regional rep the parts for the trans showed up in a few days vs the month I was originally told. Within two weeks of dropping the truck off, I got it back. The dealers story of what...

    4 auto, front tires engage like a tight turn

    I'd be interested to know the same. I live near Tommy Vaughn and wonder if they are worth a darn? I recently used Classic Ford in Galveston (where I purchased from) and I'm not sure how much I trust them.

    Guidance with Ford Corporate, bad transmission?

    The section about the Tundra is what I lamented about most....I really don't want this to become a Ford vs other topic because I really love the design of the Raptor. When buying the Raptor I was given plenty of nudges towards the Tundra, but I knew that if I bought a Tundra I'd always want for...

    Torque converter failed

    Man that sucks..... I see that AZ hasn't adopted the Uniform Commercial Codes and Deceptive Trade Practices Act....But Michigan has. This piece of legislation was designed to give power back to the little guy. It looks like AZ has adopted some of it, but not all. Depending on how much...

    Guidance with Ford Corporate, bad transmission?

    Thanks for the replies. Update from dealer is that the parts are back ordered for a month, so they have requested from Ford a new transmission. I also contacted the Ford Customer Support Line and they seemed willing to help. I'm going to supposedly be connected with the Ford Customer Support...

    Gen 2 Upgrade shops in Houston

    I'm in Houston and use Sal's Alignment shop off 290...If you see the place it's not confidence building because it's a small 2-3 man shop. but, that's why they are good. the main guy turning the wrenches is Oscar and he is a details guy. They are not offroad/parts folks so you will have to make...

    Guidance with Ford Corporate, bad transmission?

    Thanks for the reply Smurf, makes me feel a little better....but I'm still going to push for a new unit. As suggested, pic attached....I bet some dodge guys in Austin got a smile from this. BTW, the tow truck driver didn't want to use his winch. he put mine in 4auto and drove up the ramp.

    Guidance with Ford Corporate, bad transmission?

    I have been lurking here for a while and this is my first post, unfortunately not under positive circumstances. I bought a 2018 raptor at the very end of 2017, build date is 11/17. I really enjoy the truck and had 14615 trouble free miles when my transmission went out last Saturday. The dealer...
