[QUOTE="WraptorBoy, post: 1421974, member: 33804"] V8 vs V6 sound: I buy my vehicles for performance first, which is why I would never have considered the gen 1 Raptor, not how many cylinders or the sound. I love the sound of a V8 and I love the sound of the V6. The V6 makes me feel like I am really using the engine which I apprecaite. V10/V12 sounds awesome too. Don't care for the sound of 4 cylinders though! Cam phaser: I have a 2019 Sept/Oct build. Absolutely 100% has the same [U]exact[/U] sound as the posted failing cam phaser issues, but at a 75% (or more) reduced volume. I am going to record it this week and post it. I've heard this sound since day one and believe it's normal for this engine. The question is: will it get louder and therefore start failing requiring the repair? It's a very fun truck, I really love it and I find reasons to take a ride. However, my love will dissipate over time if I can't trust the vehicle. I have a general rule of thumb and that is if I have to bring the vehicle in, within the bumper to bumper period for any medium to major repairs, I won't be keeping it. To address the OP: Just get it and use it. If you're bent on a V8 then the maybe Raptor isn't for you beacuse you will always wish you had a V8. I went through a period like that until I realized it was performance, not sound, that I really wanted. Now I love both. And BTW, turbo whistle is pretty sweet! I just read several pages of 2020 issues so there's no escaping it! JUST DO IT! (and hope they don't have blasters) :D [/QUOTE]
