Buy ESP or Not

If there is fluid residue above the pan, that’s from the vent. Don’t let the dealer try and tell you it’s a separate issue; they overfilled it which is all too common.

I’m going to mention that it started leaking after the flush was done. See what they say after that. I’m feeling like they’re going to say they have reseal it. So maybe not worth getting the ESP since it runs fine aside from that. No lights or codes either.

Fwiw I just got a used esp premium care warranty from a dealer in Florida. 4yr, 50k miles for 3,700

Seems like they are overcharging on that too

I wonder if it’s different since I’m in California, they love to over charge us here

Possible. I know in Florida they sell at msrp and not any less.

What are they quoting you for the ESP

I guess what im asking if is i should buy the warranty knowing I will trade in truck in about a year or two.

I would only buy a warranty if I planned to keep the vehicle. I'd cross my fingers and be ready to trade 'er in at short notice.

For the 4yr/60k about 5800

Yea that’s the position I’m in, I love the truck enough to have her for the long haul but if she’s going to start acting up then maybe it’s time to part ways especially since I’m out of warranty

In CA, you can't purchase out of state warranties anymore - new law went into effect March 1st so yea you are definitely going to pay more in CA for an ESP. I would make them fix the tranny issue and if you plan on trading the truck in soonish (1 year or so) I would pass on the warranty. If anything comes up you can always trade it in earlier and let the dealer taking the vehicle find the issues for themselves. If you're going to keep it, fins a warranty at a good price and keep enjoying it!

Most of the warranties I looked at start from 0 miles. A60k warranty is only 24k more miles than factory

I believe Ford states NOT to flush the transmission on a Raptor.
