How about looking for some DTC trouble codes first from the OBDTII port to begin the trouble search?

This will begin with a little reference to my background to justify my conclusions at the end. I started rebuilding my alternator a long time ago after struggling for for several years plus multiple attempts to fix a battery using excessive water problem. Replaced an OEM alternator with a...

What went wrong with your transmission?

The story has changed since the first few posts, maybe just insistent omisions, we know a lot more now and the repair time doesn't seam so bad. By the way that's not my dealer and I live to far away even if I wanted to go there. Nor do I have any association with them. Dealer does not sound...

Please post a link to the Youtube Thanks

Several months ago I was reading the F150/Raptor Factory Service Manual, air conditioner/heating section, just to learn how things work. I remember it describing how the system monitors the cab temperature and the humidity. There is a small fan and sensor in the dash, behind an approximately...

DINOZR Really nice work, great to see the quality, your design and the time it must have taken to build. Thanks for sharing and posting your work.

Try checking the owners manual for long time storage

Does this mean the update is not available yet? Does the update have an identification number and be applicable for all the F-150 3.5 echo boost? Thanks

I think the steering deficiency being described has a name, at least before all the upgrades. It's called "Tramlining" I hope I don't offend any Raptor members by adding information from other sources. These are my notes taken from past post readings and they may have come from the Raptor...

"the wastegate rattle, but for $13 in parts I’d rather perform the fix myself " Offer to send procedure on wastegate repair, i would appreciate getting it too. Thanks

Guy, Thanks for posting, much appreciated, you received my like. If anyone is interest in how their EciBoost works, not just a simple answer, this is the article to read. Describes how an EcoBoost works in simple terms including, some trouble symptoms, reasons for failures, things that might...

Hi Here is my 2 cents I looked at the 2018 pump cracking housing recall that FordTechOne made reference too. It's not a really simple replacement procedure, particularly if a person was inclined to take a short cut or inadvertently over tighten a bolt. Now what would happen if a bit of...

Only take the time to read this post if you’re interested in how I came to my conclusions, about one post before the actual solution was posted. I suggest this with all humility, a few may find this helpful, enhancing or notice different trouble clearing ways. I just started reading this...

If your really seriously interested, read the owners manual for a beginning on oil maxim changes so at minimum, you don't void your warranty. What ever oil you are going to use, contact their technical support, ask them about maximum storage in the unopened container, once you open the...

I wonder how you over fill a transmission if you first bring it up to the specified operating temperature, shift it through all the gear positions, hopefully leaving it in Park. Then on the transmission (vehicle passenger side), un-screw that little filler cap, remove the mini plastic dipstick...

This is going to be interesting, please keep us posted

Not intending to be insulting at all, looks like several people have been purchasing vehicles sight un-seen. Buying a used truck unseen, are there any risks? Are there any warranties, does it still drive straight after it was dropped off the transport truck, how long does it take the body...

Mang I see your relative new to the group. I have been watching this group for a while and FordTechOne only randomly responds in a positive manner, always posts good well thought out information, no BS. My guess FordTechOne is a well qualified Ford dealer mechanic or a Ford Factory engineer...

Anyone have any insight if the Cam Phases problems, are more common to the Raptors or just as prevalent in the regular F150 Lariat 3.5 Echo Boost engines? I sure enjoy the typical friendly attitude of this forum and have not noticed as much chat on the F150 forum about phases problems. Not...

FordTechOne Do you have any idea of if or when all the 3.5 Echo Boost engines started getting the updated cam phaser?

Sure was interesting and a pleasure to see how everyone jumped on this Forum to give you a helping hand. Just so I can learn from your experience, there are a lot of different ground points in a truck. How many grounds did they work on? What was the actual bad ground point that caused the...

FordTechOne, I certinally respect your advice. I have two questions. Shouldn't plugs run any where between 60,000 and 100,000 miles on a stock factory tuned 3.5 EB engine, depending on what your doing with that truck. Also is there any millage point when a person might start thinking about...

Let me begin by kindly expressing, I am not looking for detailed, abc, how it's actually done answer, maybe a high level theft prevention concepts would be good enough. I suspect this could be a wonderful source for a newbie thief that just wants to hone his or her skills. I certinally hate to...

Andrew's response to the situation was about the best caring responsible actions a person could have taken. I like the way he solved the problems. Good work. He gave me ideas of things to do if I ever get stuck on the road. Now not to be a dark cloud and I am wishing for the best. I would...
