This looks like the right place to post this... I'm in Gilbert, AZ and need a front bumper, someone hit me in the parking lot and the ford collision center says the bumper will need to be replaced..it's pretty mangled cause it got hit really low. anyways looking for a good deal, let me know...

BigJ i don't think you are being mean or unreasonable, but your right when i say no more than 6inches it is a guess, but our tires are 35in so if i enter water and not even half of the rubber is covered i'm sure that is a good ball park. also, i agree, SLOW DOWN in water is the key. not that i...

I meant what I said, I had hit puddles earlier that day yhat made me turn on my whinshoeld wippers, not anything the truck isn't supposed to handle according to the how to videos but deaper than 6inches for sure. I'm frustrated with ford and don't think I have been too hard on them, I am new to...

bad news good news. Update 2/6/2013 John Bernath at San Tan Ford is a HUGE JERK! his number is 480-621-3768 and email is [email protected] I specifically asked him not to send the request to the SVT Warranty Team, but instead of listening, he went into my Service records and...

sort of Good news today. Ford finally acknowledged that this is not JUST another for vehicle, its a SVT RAPTOR. turns out there is an SVT WARRANTY TEAM! i'm not optimistic the results will be different but if they actually inspect the vehicle and see that there are no signs of deep water...

1st round of bad news today. San Tan Ford called me today to tell me I was done, write us a check for 10k and we'll give u a new engine but there is no chance of it being warrantied... Ford flat out said that they will not send a field service engineer to look at a hydrolocked engine. I asked...

Moving forward as i'm in the works with FORD i'm obviously considering all my options, who should i talk to about putting in a new engine if i get a check from insurance? not sure i want the dealer to do it when i could probably put in a 6.6 liter with supercharger for the same cost? what do...

Ford agrees with you so far and is unwilling to escalate it to ford corporate...so I had to call myself. They are going to send an engineer to check the computer to make sure I wasn't going too fast through water(which I wasn't). But I see your skeptisism...the ford mechanic today showed me...

Ford Dealership says no way please tell me what you think about these videos on the Ford Website, i didn't come even CLOSE to going through as much water as they did in these videos, i think that maybe i'm missing a piece somewhere that should have blocked the rain water...i would love to say...

Yeah it could have just been a coincidence right in the tiny puddle...I'm feeling like I could have a good day tomorrow or a bad one, but this morning I was convinced it would be a terrible day tomorrow. Thanks for all the help. I'll keep u posted. Here is a picture I never thought was possible...

Thanks for the bit of hope! I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world to use my insurance for the 1st time in my life. I've bought the insurance companies 3 or 4 cars by now...maybe its time for them to buy me one. :]

i for sure didnt violate this! Like I said before, I was max doing 30mph and the water was never more than 1/4 part of the truck... Seems like it would be hard for ford to say, I was going 50 or whatever speed so the water that got in was my fault. I would say prove it! I'm happy to admit...

Sounds crazy to me but I guess I'm just stupid for not knowing to stay away from water. I had no idea this could happen. Anyways thanks for all the info I guess I'll wait and see Monday what happens... Told him I had hit a few puddles on the road that day... If hydro locking was never covered...

Just got done reading the Manuel for offroading. It says you can't go through water at any depth faster than 40mph that seems silly...so when its raining on the freeway better slow down to 40mph I guess. How would this not be warrantied, I was maybe doing 30mph probably slower due to lots of pot...

??? why would you be amazed? in there videos they take these things through all kinds of mud and water? shouldn't everything be water tight so this doesn't happen? how would it have gotten water in there?

thanks for the replys I have no engine mods.

Driving down the road, in the Arizona rain... and crazy noises started shacking around like marbles in my engine, lost oil pressure then the engine died. Update 2/6/2013 John Bernath at San Tan Ford is a HUGE JERK! his number is 480-621-3768 and email is [email protected] I...

thanks for everything! Now it's time to research upgrades!

Here it is! now i just have to see if it will fit through my local carwash...argh! Handles AMAZING in off road mode!
