[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1676870, member: 20286"] A Gen 1 Raptor will never have a turbo dump oil into the exhaust. The wastegate will not fail. It's literally impossible for the intercooler to get a hole punched in it from a rock. The recirculation valve will not get a torn diaphragm. The intake piping will never have oil in it. All of those things happened to Gen 2 trucks. Every one of them. All of these issues are easily found posted in this forum. I won't start on the high pressure fuel pump failures, hollow camshafts twisting, and let alone the "constantly revised until the engine is no longer produced" timing setup (like every Cyclone based 3.5L TT before it as well), I know- I KNOW! ITS NOT A CYCLONE ENGINE!!! 100% clean sheet!!!! Yea I know. :rolleyes: Even with all the time they've had to get the TT Cyclone right (12 years and 3 generations now)- it still ain't as reliable as the 6.2L- which actually WAS a clean sheet design. Nobody is saying the TT Cyclones are a total POS- but they are nowhere near as reliable as the 6.2L and everyone knows it. [/QUOTE]
