[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1593007, member: 21926"] 2018 is a really good truck. I’m not sure what decal is missing; hood, bed side? that’s going to look a little odd. mileage is ok and yes, -some- limited number of Raptors had the cam phaser park failure issue that was addressed I think in late 2018 or early 2019(?) You can tell if the truck has the problem on a cold startup. - you need to start the truck COLD. At least 8 hours, and preferably overnight. Use a laser thermometer to ensure the truck has not been started. If the truck is significantly warmer than ambient temperature, it’s probably been started. You can hear videos of it on youtube, most Raptors don’t sound anywhere near as bad as previous generation eco boost engines did. Still, it’s not good sounding. A lot of people who have had ’17-’18 trucks and the newer model with the live valve shocks have said here they prefer the older ones for ride quality. I don’t doubt the live valve shocks are more efficient when you push the truck, however... they’re also more error prone and when there’s a fault, they default to the full hard setting. The dumb shocks don’t have this issue, obviously. Here on FRF we are a lot tougher on n00b / newbie users than the ram forum. Until otherwise proven: You are a toyota prius driver ! :-P ********* pale in comparison. good luck! [/QUOTE]
