    Someone Got Into 2020 Raptor…again

    Well good thing the alarm did what it was supposed to do. I’d add a camera inside (or around) your truck. I think that would solve the mystery.

    ADM and destroyed dealer relationships?

    I’m a little confused. What do you mean “treat customers like that”? So far, it seems like your gripe is on price. You’re not unique. Everyone wants to get the best deal. A dealer who sells your dream truck at the lowest possible price treats you good whereas one who sells you one for the...

    GEN 2 to GEN 1, thoughts

    Everyone is talking about him “getting 20k”. What about the $47k (plus tax) that he’s losing? Honestly, I love the Gen 2. It can tow my boat with 4 adults with ease (stock). And on some days, it can run around in the dirt. Nothing wrong with a Gen 1, but you’re basically paying $47k for it plus...

    Auto start stop off

    Must have sat on the lot long because it sounds like your battery is degraded. If that happens auto start-stop won’t function. Should be a warranty issue.

    Auto start stop off

    Ch If your battery is worn down, it will also deactivate ASS. The Battery Management System is supposed to monitor the battery state and regulate the charging to maximize its life. BMS can get deactivated via Forscan to disable ASS. But BMS will also deactivate ASS if it detects the battery’s...

    GEN 2 Battery Sensor Fault

    You said you replaced the battery 3 times. https://lockdownsecurity.forumbee.com/t/m2gvh9/ford-trucks-bms-battery-monitoring-systems

    GEN 2 Battery Sensor Fault

    Did you de-activate auto start stop via Forscan? It deactivated the active battery management, which uses the sensor attached to the battery. This is why it is recommended that you attach accessories to the battery after the sensor (so it doesn’t mess up readings). Just a guess though.

    Keyless Entry Code Retrieval

    Sometimes the dealer has the car you want and the price is right. Everything else being “standard” is wishful thinking. An implied warranty that the car runs safely is probably all you’re going to get from the dealer and that’s only because it’s the law in most states.

    Keyless Entry Code Retrieval

    Well I was under the impression that it always comes with a tank. But these things needed to be negotiated for. What if after you sign off on the deal and financing, they hand you just one key. Nothing you can do at that point on a used car.

    Keyless Entry Code Retrieval

    I’ve known of people who buy $40k used cars with gas on E. You can call it standards, but you’re not outsmarting anyone. The dealer will give you a 2nd key if there’s enough room in the profit. m

    Keyless Entry Code Retrieval

    That’s not what I said at all. As-is just means there’s no entitlement to all the extras that come with a new car. Dealers only wash and clean cars because it makes them more money on the vehicle. The expense pays for itself. If it made no difference, most dealers would just leave it dirty. I’m...

    Keyless Entry Code Retrieval

    When you’re buying used, you get it as-is.

    Keyless Entry Code Retrieval

    The parts counter can pull up the code. Ford Pass can also unlock the truck.

    Questions for recent Raptor assault attendees...

    You’re not missing out much. Dinner was good catered food, buffet style, but it wasn’t anything spectacular. Most people just ate dinner and left. Check out the gift shop for Raptor merch!

    GEN 2 New Steering Wheel under Warranty

    For sure! This is the repair order.

    GEN 2 New Steering Wheel under Warranty

    lol The old steering wheel was always pretty dry, and I clean it regularly. But it basically got polished with use. The new steering wheel makes me feel like I’m driving a new truck again. Dealer didn’t seem to hesitate when I complained. They just had to get approval from Ford, which took less...

    GEN 2 2018 Sync is DOA

    Oh and I’m on 3.4.20136. I just noticed that 3.4.20196 was just freshly released probably within days so I might do that update too.

    GEN 2 2018 Sync is DOA

    Since I have a 2018, Ford won’t push the 3.4 to my truck. I did manually update it to the newest version a few weeks ago. Still running smooth.

    GEN 2 2018 Sync is DOA

    I have a 2018. This was what Forscan shows.

    GEN 2 2018 Sync is DOA

    I did a 3.2 to 3.4 without firmware update back in December 2019, and I haven’t had any issue. Been thinking about doing firmware since the paid Forscan version now supports it, but I don’t want to rock the boat.

    GEN 2 2018 Sync is DOA

    Been reading about the Sync 3.4 platform for a while and it appears the same Sync 3 module is installed across Ford models running Sync 3. If it’s a common failure point, it can’t be just on the F-150. I think what the dealer meant was “ah camera stuck on. Common culprit is the Sync module.”...

    GEN 2 2018 Sync is DOA

    Have you tried a hard reboot? Hold power button and skip forward buttons down together for a few seconds until it reboots... ** Edit ** Sorry I somehow glossed over that part of your post.

    GEN 2 New Steering Wheel under Warranty

    I complained to my dealer about wavy lines on the steering wheel and they replaced it with a new wheel.

    Should I buy an extended warranty?

    Seems like Ford can’t make its mind and keep changing the manual. There’s a whole thread about it here: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/engine-oil-requirement-in-raptor-supplement.71309/

    Should I buy an extended warranty?

    The factory recommended maintenance now calls for full synthetic. I believe that change from synth-blend took place somewhere in 2018.
