    Rear Bumper Brackets (and do aftermarket bumpers use them)

    I don't have pics (yet). My truck has been at the body shop for 6 weeks now (shakes head - not the end of the world). What I am looking for is #4 (both) and #10 (both). Apparently no ford dealer has these on the shelves and they are back ordered until May...

    Rear Bumper Brackets (and do aftermarket bumpers use them)

    Does anyone know if aftermarket bumpers reuse the 4 OEM brackets used for the factory rear bumper? They seem to be on Ford Back Order..... Am at the point where I may just go aftermarket bumper route if they aren't reused. Or does someone have some used ones they would part with?

    Check your 4x4 IWE system

    @zombiekiller - I "think" most of the failures are not a complete loss of vacuum to the IWEs. Thus you get intermittent grinding as you are driving in 2H. At least that was my symptom and most that I saw on the web (but guessing most that have complete failure won't notice unless the get an on...

    GEN 2 Buyback options

    I It doesn't appear so (based on the screen shot provided by the OP). The wording alone makes me think not as well ("repurchase", not refund). Would also think they explicitly state that as well. If the repurchase includes the tax paid at original purchase, then 1. could be the way to go (did...

    GEN 2 Buyback options

    @bvlaw the deal referenced by the OP (3k off) is not as good as Option 2. AZ sales tax at 6% assuming 70k sales price is $4200. Pretty easy to figure out break even point, but 3k isn't going to get it done even if the OP paid MSRP for original truck. For example if MSRP of original was 70k and...

    GEN 2 Buyback options

    scratches head a bit.... So with option 1 and this "deal", it appears it would cost you more than doing option 2 for the same truck (tax....)

    GEN 2 Buyback options

    When considering the proposed options (verses seeing if you can negotiate - guessing might need a good lawyer). AZ tax for buying a new car is 6.6%. Option 1 - you paid the 6.6% of ~70k which is $4620.00. Looks like that is gone. If you then buy a new vehicle, you would pay another 6.6%...

    GEN 2 A few questions - interior cleaning and the rubber under windows (exterior)

    Hi - thinking I am just going to go the Adams route and wanted to get feedback on a few things. 1. Interior clean and protect - thinking I just need the "leather interior cleaner" and "leather conditioner". Anything recommended to protect plastic etc. 2. Carpet next to door sill - how do I pop...

    Tune and warranty

    Thank you both! That's what I figured. "Pay to play" - well said LOL

    Tune and warranty

    Couple of questions here. 1. Does the ECU keep track of the programming? In other words, if you put a tune on it and replace it with factory does the dealership see the history (is there an audit trail)? 2. If the engine/trans blows up due to a manufacturing defect does the fact that a tune...

    2018 Raptor - "keyed"

    Taken me a few days to post this as I am a bit angry... Went to dinner the other night and had to valet my truck (no other option). Well long story short, the valet parked it in a handicap spot and apparently someone with a handicap tap parked in the spot next to it (handicap as well). Looks...

    Bed Cleats

    How the hell do you get them to fit. I was able to get 1 in, but the rest seem to not fit at all. The "groove" in the cleat just doesnt seem to work with the plate.. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Best bed cap suggestions!

    I had one on order (placed Jan 2ish) - was supposed to get mid Feb and didn't due to issue. Couldn't get a date on when the Revo would be built so I cancelled.

    Truck Caps for Raptor

    Hopefully picking up my 100XQ Sport in lead foot this week. At the beginning of the year I ordered an ARE REVO, but the week it was supposed to come I was notified that there were issues with the rear gate failing and production was on hold. So I cancelled and ordered the LEER. This is the one I...

    GEN 2 Tranny Rattle at Low RPM: Correction IWE Fail

    I had mine fail at 50 miles.... Yes I'm serious (50 as in five zero). While it sucked driving it back to the dealer 10 minutes after I drove off the lot, I can't wipe the smile off of my face every time I drive it.

    recalls please

    @xrocket21 - anymore info on the backorder for the IWE/hose? Been searching for any info on line and can't find anything. At the mercy of the info that the service manager wants to provide. Bought the truck last night and the grinding started as soon as I pulled out of the lot after doing the...

    Need advice - 2018 Raptor.. only 40 miles

    Also - one more question. How does this not damage the hubs if there is sustained gear meshing issues that creates lots of noise?

    Need advice - 2018 Raptor.. only 40 miles

    Picked up my 2018 Raptor last night. No issues on a short test drive (basically around a long block). After the paperwork was done I start the drive home. Within 10miles a slight rattle starts on and off. Then it got much worse (volume and frequency). Pretty much constant under light...
