Yes, the Dynomax mufflers get rid of the farty sound of the ecoboost.

Yes - real world experience. Dynomax is the answer on the ecoboost.

I love having a reliable truck. The ecoboost is definitely not that. The 3.5 ecoboost is going away anyway... Being replaced by the 3L TT.... Not sure why Jennies can't comprehend that reality. No more six banger for them.

Yes - Dynomax is the solution for quiet, and increased turbo sound. It is the solution.

There is so much wrong with what you state. The 7.3 is a big block gasser that makes torque and power enough for a super duty and tuned enough for fun in a Raptor. Just. Like. The. 6.2.

The Raptor 3.5 ecoboost run will be like the mustang II. This is so funny to watch

Agree - the ecoboost people are really putting up a fight since they know they made a bad buying decision. I am happy we will be able to get the 7.3!

Remember that the 3.5 ecoboost is being replaced with the 3L TT The buyer actually cares about reliability the most. The ecoboost just doesn't have that. There are too many common problems with it

Ah.... How about reliability? Owners will gladly take reliability over the ecoboost any day.

This is all very funny because when we get an 8 cylinder back in this truck, all the ecoboost people will be dumping theirs.

No sense in trying to talk the ecoboost fanboys into the 7.3L. They are so blinded and drank the Kool aid. Real world, the ecoboost is an unreliable mess. The 6.2 never had these silly, repeatable issues with cam phaser failures, plastic oil pan cracks/leaks, low oil pressure, low oil, etc. In...

Has anyone seen the data from the other 3.5 ecoboost products? They reporting the same cam phaser failures, oil pan cracks, low oil, and low oil pressure? Look across the F150/expedition/navigator since they are using the gen2 ecoboost.

In any case, with the Raptor becoming an option package across platforms, Ford will allow you to choose which available engine you want.

No problem with that as long as Ford actually applies their lessons learned from the 3.5 ecoboost problems. The reliability of this 3.5 ecoboost is terrible.

Yes - I provided links to this same new info. The "ecoboost 4 life" possie was out in force poo poo'ing the idea because they don't want to take a bath on selling their 6 banger for this. This will be the best thing to happen to the f150.

Do tell - where is the filter located, and what's the part number?

There was another redesign in the summer of 18 as well since the first redesign didn't fix it. In any case, Ford still doesn't have a reliable design for these. In the past, lockouts were made, but not sure who can make them for this.

To go along with that, we don't know that Ford has a redesigned, working cam phaser yet.

You are experiencing what others have. Recommend getting to the dealer asap since you can't let the cam phaser rattle go. Get that fixed, and I bet you they put the new design valve covers on. Once they tear into the engine, they will determine if the whole thing needs replaced. These random...

Realize that the fuel filter is not a servicable item.

Here... I am surprised you didn't see this.... Motor Authority https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1121413_ford-f-150-raptor-and-mustang-could-get-a-7-3-liter-v-8-heavy-duty-heart?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Reliability is high on my list.... and many gen 2 owners are getting to this point too. That is why the 7.3 is welcomed.

Look around here... You see many spark plug threads, right? You also will read those and find that spark plugs need changed very often.

Really? Motor Authority is a reputable automotive news outlet.

Another good article talking about fitment into the raptor. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tflcar.com/2019/02/mustang-7-3-liter-v8-rumor/amp/
