Hi all,
Long time lover and first time owner of a Ford Raptor.
2014 model supercab living here in Qatar.
165,000km, in decent condition, feels great, Im loving it of course.
Just a few small issues I was looking for some experienced advice on before I goto a mechanic.
1. There is a slight jolt, or jump, when going 1st to 2nd gear, All other gear changes are super smooth however.
2. Noise. It seems excessively noisy seemingly from the exhaust system . Sometimes a sounds more a high pitched whining, tinny sound. When I first test drove it it was worse, really blowing, and the guy I bought from told me he needed to replace a gasket between the header and the exhaust? He did it and it seemed quieter, but now seems to be getting louder again. Its mainly noisy when accelerating. When upto speed and the revs come down it doesnt sound excessive.
3. However It appears to drive fine, smooth, with power.
