Little late to the party here but I could chime in if you want to do a 7.3. If you have some basic fab and wiring skills it’s possible. Gen 1 swaps are a lot easier than gen 2. The major steps are basically fabricating some motor mounts, and wiring. You can modify the factory 6.2 mounts, or...

Here. https://www.alldata.com/diy-us/en Oh, and the cam gears (at least in my 18) are held in by a Torx Plus. Not a standard Torx. Typically designated by “TP”. Like TP-55. I don’t *think* an update is required. Cam gears are same dia, degree variation. I don’t know about spring load but the...

Nope no issues

Sure. Go for it lol

You don’t have to remove the body. While you can pull the engine out with the body on, it’s not worth the time for cam phasers. And you you find yourself in deep and can’t get it done inside the frame, you can pull the motor at about any point. Get yourself a one-month subscription to...

I’ll add one more thing. The “rattle” that I brought it in for a couple weeks prior to this whole thing, After the PCM update they said “it’s normal. They are noisy engines” This is what I was referring to: And I feel like an idiot for not being adamant to them that it’s not normal lol.

I’ll make sure bullet points here For a full timeline, for those that are interested. -truck for sale at dodge dealership. -everything checks out except for a shudder/rattle. -talk to Ford before purchase. They say it’s not phasers, sounds normal, and truck is under warranty. -have dodge...

I have. I bought it from a dodge dealership in town, that on a general level maintains a good reputation. What specifically is missing?

Understood. I had been checking the oil on a near weekly basis. And had checked it about 4 days before the incident. I did a big look-over before we went to an adjacent city 300 miles away for the weekend. When the truck was towed to Ford, it sat in their lot since thanksgiving weekend. So...

Haha my kinda guy. Once I hear back from Ford corporate I’ll be pulling it into the shop to do just that.

@smurfslayer lol no elbows taken. I didn't know the drain plug was on there (as I bought the truck about 5 weeks prior to the incident) and I had checked oil before we left town that weekend, which would have been about 14 hours/700 miles, and 4 days prior. what I meant about it being negative...

Hey gang. I’m in a serious pickle. I’ll give you the short story first. Dealership won’t honor warranty because of aftermarket drain plug. Story: So 2 months ago We we’re on a road trip and had a low oil pressure warning so I immediately pulled over and shut the truck down. After seeing a...

from from what I understood when talking to a tech recently, 21B10 and similar updates also require the other control units to be updated at the same time. I'm assuming so they communicate congruently. sounds good to me.

yeah not phasers or mechanical. my guess is an air leak somewhere, or a bearing/something rubbing in the alternator. just annoying so far. would be a quiet engine if it didn't make that sound... then again, its a 3.5 EB lol.

any idea on this? I've noticed the same sound on mine. I can't pinpoint an air leak for the life of me even though thats what it sounds like. It seems like its coming from the alternator, but there's so much IC piping over that area the sound reflects all over the place. I keep thinking its a...

I guess It depends on what is in stock? I have a set of Nokian Rockproofs, damn sexy tires, pretty bomb proof, but soft blocks and not quiet. really made for rocks and mud. they're about as loud as the Toyo M/T, maybe a little quieter if you keep them wearing properly. can you find any K02's...

Good choice. I listened to like an hour long compilation the other day and thought the Atak sounded great as well. I like the note, I'm curious how loud it is overall.

Thanks. increasing power is much easier too. The 7k buy-in for a SC on the Tundra and then that's about all there is. So far is looking pretty affordable for performance upgrades comparably. and yes, wow the ride is much better. currently, just a wipple intake, catch can, recirc block with VTA...

It's very possible the reason I own a Raptor is because of this thread specifically. Found the one I want and was trying to figure out how to justify the purchase... After about a month found a piece of commercial real estate that my current truck could buy if I sold it. so, having lots of...

Hey guys. Bought my first Raptor. I gotta say I felt like a little kid driving home. Have been driving a 2013 TRD rock warrior for the last 5 years. Tundra has been really good to me with zero issues. Finally decided to pull the trigger when a piece of commercial real estate came up for sale and...
