Sadly, odds are you are correct !

5 star tune has entered into a discussion with me about this problem. They are wondering if anyone has the electronic tuner tool - SCT x4 - to test out some tunes that specifically go after the lack of engine braking under crawling, steep grade cases. Anybody have one of these ?

I have asked a buddy of mine to try to get a message to Ford engineering on this. Since the Raptor is their Premium truck, I am hoping they will at least listen. I suspect that when programming this truck for the desert they didn't really encounter mountain type long down hill grades that are...

Thank you for the input ! I did not purchase a tune yet because I don't want to spend that money and not fix anything... no company seemed to be interested in committing to fixing the concern if it took extra work... and I ain't mad.. I get it.

I just want to bump this post back into everyone's mind. I have taken zero steps to resolve.. it all costs $$ !!

Have any of my fellow Raptor owners that have stated here that they are having the same issue gotten any resolution ? WIth Christmas, I have not been able to purchase a tune.

Want to be doing this right now !!

Sorry.. LOL

My 2010 RAptor that this started this post is a 6.2L. There is no question it is in low side. Understand these mountain trails are very steep, even the switchback parts, for long periods of time. ---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------...

I struck out for at least the first 6 month I owned mine. Then one day someone miraculously waves back. My 12 year old daughter started screaming "Dad they waved back ! They waved Back" like we won the lottery or something... Her reaction was hilarious... I realized I had been...

Trying to find a tune to fix this !! Everyone, Thanks again for everyone's input. I am trying to find a tuner that will attempt to address this.. but I don't hink it will be that easy. Tunes are about making money (nothing wrong with that!) and the 2 companies I have talked with on...

Thank you for the input ! We stopped many times for all sorts of things,, pics, bathroom, lunch, general gawking at the beautiful scenery.. The truck was shut off and restarted many times throughout the days and please keep in mind that we hit the trails 2 days in a row and the truck...

Thank you so much for your reply that lets me know I am not alone on this and that my truck is not technically broken !! Thank you so much ! I experienced a little of that "cruise control" action too. I am hoping that we can find a tuner that can address these issues... my truck totally...

I think this is a good thought and good input.. In my mind if the converter unlocks and the truck's forward speed increases due to that I am not sure the engine RPM would increase as crisply at this does.. I envision it kind of coasting forward in that case.. but that is just me...

Thank you so much for your reply that lets me know I am not alone on this and that my truck is not technically broken !! Thank you so much !

Thank you all for contributing to this post. I will try to clarify a few things.. The truck is a stock tune. I was in 4-low, manual first gear. Both in and out of rear diff lock. I tried it in and out of off-road mode. I tried putting in into trailer mode while in any of the other...

Hamm3r, Thank you very much for the reply ! I think you and I are on the same page. I too do not like harsh shifting... I am ok with it being aggressive if my foot is in it under hard accel.. but the rest of the time I don't want my 1-2 shift to thump the truck. Thank you for letting me know...

Thank for the reply! I was in 4 low when this happened... the weird part is that the truck was opening the throttle and allowing the truck to speed up going down hills.. it was not as if the weight of the truck and gravity was forcing the engine speed to increase with the throttle closed.. it...

That rack looks great ! I just got back from Ouray and hit Corkscrew Gulch, Hurricane Pass and California to get to Animus Forks. Then the next day I think we did Red Mountain Pass... to the Yankee Girl Mine. It would be great to drive those trails and not be concerned about making it...

Fortunately, I updated all my brakes before we left with dimpled and slotted all the way around with upgraded pads... or I might be dead by now.. LOL. I was manually shifted into first during this... I agree that it may be worth checking on a tune.. based on what others may also add here, we...

I have just returned from my first major trip with my 2010 6.2L. I put over 1800 miles on the truck in 5 days or so. The truck ate up the highway like a luxury car even with 37" tires. The goal was to drive parts of the Alpine Loop Area. I had never done it before or had this truck in the...

Heading to Ouray the last week of July. Have NEVER been there... and this is my first real off-road adventure with my truck and the family. I have a buddy going with me and he is bringing his Rubicon. We are excited to witness the amazing mountains in person and the ghost towns too! My...

Hi everyone. I have been reading alot of info here on the forum as I try to decide if I am going to sell my old truck to get a Raptor. Thanks for all the info here and keep on posting pics !!:headbang:
