Did they not use the upgraded phasers on the first fix? I just had mine done...all phases being done now should have the revised parts...which should not fail (at least in theory)
Got the truck back yesterday and it purs. hoping she holds up for the long haul now!!
Also did:
perf plugs/wires
Trans flush
Front/read Diff fluid
Belts
injector/fuel system flush
Shout out to Garnet Ford if anyone's on here. Great experience.
Mines in for Phasers as well...
I'm also doing plugs, belts, coolant flush, fuel/injector service
and because I have 55k I'm doing trans and diff flush
I think that was for vehicles over the 60k powertrain. Mine is still under factory warranty so it's covered.
And yeah, the plug price seems inflated. I used to do plugs on my Honda 4 bangers back in the day, but don't wanna risk a broken or stuck plug :D Plenty of other projects I'll take...
Thanks all...I figured as such...again, I've heard phasers sound much worse and needed the affirmation.
Today's Update: Just dropped by the dealer to grab something from the truck and caught up with the SA. He basically said that after a cold start they did hear the phaser rattle and will be...
Have been noticing this "light" rattle on cold startups. It's not as loud as many video's I've seen, so trying to get some expert opinions.
The truck is a 2019 with 55k. I decided to get ahead of the issue and dropped it at the dealer today. Of course the SA stated that it WAS NOT phaser...
First time doing raptor things

Thing didn't break a sweat. Baja mode. Also put it into crawl and did some slow stuff. Secret little area behind our campground at southern jersey shore point. Not a lot of real estate, but enough to have some fun with...
Ok - There are no open recalls on the vehicle. That is software only update, correct? And if that is performed BEFORE the issue starts, it should prevent it completely (with-in reason)?
I imagine
I imagine much better for the turbo's too. I'm def going to switch. I'm a bit concerned about the cam phasers. truck has 52k and runs beautifully - OEM powertrain warranty to 60k or October 2024 I believe. I bought an aftermarket warranty knowing the potential expensive fixes that...
^^ That's the plan :D
So a couple specific questions I was unable track down yet.
1. How often should the diff and transfer case fluids be changed?
2. (I KNOW, another oil question) Does Pure Synthetic oil delay or keep the Cam Phase issue at bay? I will be changing at 5k intervals or less...
Appreciate everyone and this forum. Great resource... probably going to go with a goosetuned stage 1, upgraded intercooler ( Wagner??) and exhaust. Seems that awakens the beast.
Been following along for a while. Finally time to break the ice.
My raptor purchase was a bit of a whim. Last year I grabbed a 2013 golf R as my personal ride as I wanted to get into a manual again before they go obsolete. Have owned multiple VW's so was an easy call. Fun car.
The reality is...
