    Cam phasers?

    Awww. Upset because I proved your "amazing" source of ford "tech" WRONG. Hmmm. I agree. I should sell it. Just to get away from this toxic forum and all the toxic members that are only interested in who can reply with the most clever insult. I hope all your cam phasers fail... Oh wait. It time...

    Cam phasers?

    Seriously man, You need to relax. I'm not stressing out because of this issue. It's just going to be a factor in me keeping the vehicle or not. This is a forum and, as such, people have an ability to voice themselves and gather information from others. I guess not from your stronghold in the...

    Cam phasers?

    I'm concerned because I understand how cam phasers work. We can agree to disagree that this is a binary issue. I believe a phaser can start to fail and eventually fully fail. If the rotor is not locked at startup (hence the noise) you will hear it rattle quietly. The rattle will vibrate nearby...

    camera washer fluid

    Nope. I just tested it. I opened the door, pressed the start button and then the windshield fluid button. Windshield jet and front cam jet came on at the same time. Cam doesn't have to be on.

    Oil change after only 1,200 miles???

    The Raptor supplemental says, at least for 2019, to change it at 5K miles. But the non-raptor shows 10K in the main manual. 9/2019, 6K miles. My indicator popped up at ~5K miles. I changed it then. I went to Ford and got the recommended oil (from the manual) from them. Though, I changed it...

    Cam phasers?

    You can't post a video, only a link to a video. So you'd post the video on, say, youtube and paste the link here. The phaser noise lasts 2-3 seconds. On my truck it's very subtle but you can definitely hear it. It hasn't changed in volume or length, that I can tell, in a year with 6K miles...

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    Your comment of constantly repeating yourself proves that you are truly... an IDIOT. Anything to get away from assholes like YOU.

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    Agree 100%. I most definitely have the sound. It's not the full blown rattle at this point and so far hasn't, that I can tell, gotten louder. But I DEFINITELY have the sound and I am pretty sure trouble will follow when I start racking up the miles and a few years on it. FordTechOne states the...

    GEN 2 First Problem So Far With 2019

    I agree with this. The problem, specifically for me and I'm guessing a lot of people, is not that something broke or that something may break later. It's dealing with ahole individuals on soap boxes at dealerships that tell you "there's no issue" or the "tech" who does a crap job and creates...

    Question about oil consumption test on a 2019.

    If you're working with him to do a procedural pre-check before the fix, I would just follow what he says. They'll need a solid trail to work from. I don't time it but I wait long enough that 99.9% of the oil has gravitated back to the pan. It's probably about 1/2 hour or hour. That is plenty of...

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    Appreciate you posting this. There were questions of 2019s having this issue and I've seen 3 new people with late 2019 builds that have it. So there really is no fix for it. Very strange. There's a way to figure out the exact build date. Probably on the Ford site but I couldn't find it even...

    Servo sound when transmission shifts from gear to gear

    No nothing like that. It's definitely the sound of a servo motor. I noticed it because usually these things are not audible but it sounded a little off, like a worn bearing. If it was practical and I thought a mic would pick it up, I'd record it. It's fairly subtle until you discover it. Then...

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    Wow serious? Mine is also a Sept 2019 build. I posted early on that engines were probably built and sitting there for a while so 2019s could indeed have the older parts. Mybe even 2020s. But anything built after the 2018 date (updated from the 4/2019 date) shouldn't have the issue. Still, if the...

    First Sorta-Kinda Issue

    Depends on Ford but in my experience, some faults will have to occur a certain number of times to be stored. Some are stored right away. Some may light the warning light, but not store a code bceause it's something that will be user correctable etc etc. I would keep the appointment and have a...

    17 vs 19 Raptor

    I believe the ride is different in the 17 vs the 19 as far as the Fox shocks. I can't remember the details though. I believe it was stated the 2017 will be a softer ride where the 2019 would be stiffer. I have a 2019 and I love the ride but have no experience with the 2017. I would think a...

    Question about oil consumption test on a 2019.

    I haven't seen any thread(s) on a valve cover cutoff nor does a search result in any threads that I can find. You are contradicting yourself. If it's not a leak, and the engine shouldn't be using a noticeable amount of oil, what are you referring to? It's either one or the other.

    Question about oil consumption test on a 2019.

    2019, got 3500 miles. Checked it a few days ago and level was a little above the first hole. I added 3/4+ of a quart of oil and brought it right up to the top of the hatch mark. I checked the oil a month ago and level was perfect at top mark from the factory. I believe I was at about 3K miles...

    Engine noise and oil consumption after first oil change.

    You said "The noise is not loud at all but is there for 1-2 minutes after starting the cold engine" Did you mean SECONDS? If you mean SECONDS, then the "cam phaser issue" could be the reason for the noise. Did you look on youtube for the noise? There are several videos that demonstrate the...

    Servo sound when transmission shifts from gear to gear

    Thanks for chiming in with that. Good to know! What year is yours and how many miles? I'm 2019/3500

    Servo sound when transmission shifts from gear to gear

    That makes sense. So would this 'change in pressure' be related to a small transmission pump that I am hearing as it operates for each shift?

    Servo sound when transmission shifts from gear to gear

    Anyone hear a servo type noise when the transmission shifts up and down? It's a very quiet noise but on a quiet road you can hear it. I hear it all the time because I know it's there. So... shift/servo noise, servo noise stops a couple seconds after shift is complete. The servo motor sound is...

    2019 Raptor in the shop day 3.

    If everyone took more drastic measures when "shit happens" maybe "shit" wouldn't happen. Maybe you should get a job as a consultant at various dealers and tell every customer that bought a brand new vehicle before they walk out the door "by the way, your vehicle may be back here in a few days...

    2019 Raptor in the shop day 3.

    I'd work with them to get a new vehicle ordered. Totally unacceptable.

    Ford penny pinching on 2020's?

    It's just a pet peeve. With gated shifters you don't even have to look down. You pull the handle down and a bit to the side and you're in. You have to do a lot do NOT be in drive. But it's not a gated shifter so people tend to look to verify they're in drive and not neutral or other. When some...

    2020 4runner, buyers remorse

    To answer your question: Not really. I've always been in a position where I would sell my vehicle privately and get the most for it based on the market. Unless you have a friend at a dealer or otherwise some edge case deal, you'll get a lot less when trading. But yeah, if you are on loan, you...
