Probably got a clog/pinch in the roof drains. Clean the drains, if that doesn't help then it may be a seal.

GMC Canyon ATX is very good looking but that 8 speed transmission is trash. Been that way for years for GM, but like their lifter issue, they don't give a **** about trying to fix it.

If I had to downsize my truck I would definitely consider the RR over any other midsize truck. Just wish they could of stuffed 35's in there stock.

I have a 17 with the original plastic pan and no OASIS of the phaser being replaced. Original owner took the truck every 3-5k miles for any service to the same dealer I bought it from/I know the advisors. It may fail tonight, or it may last another 7 years.

I hope not. Raptor R or not, you can get some badass real beadlocks wheels for less than that

There's no pricing from Ford yet, right? I've seen on FB between 5,500 and 6k with the tires.

Cold start crank up. Any chatter. Check the oil pan. See if it's the 1st half 18 with plastic or with metal. Can't hurt to look at CV's and take a peak at front diff for signs of weeping Any residue around the shocks for leaks. FRS is a nice setup, but not as nice when you got to get them...

How'd they determine piston? They scope it or just throwing shit at the wall with you paying the bill?

IWE noise is a grinding noise at low speeds. If you haven't heard that, pass on the 1.2k bill. There's stuff you can check yourself and verify if a hose is cracked/solenoid is going bad etc.

I had 3 6.2L Raptors. Bought a 3.5L Gen 2. No regrets. Miss the sound, but combined with the lighter body I enjoy driving it.

23 v 36 gallon tank too is a thing to keep in mind. I like cruising longer distances before needing to fillup. Don't care about costs, more about not having to go out of my way for the good stations often.

Is that the JLP one I put on 15 years ago?

I've seen it done both ways. As @catinthehat85 posted as long as the shop knows what they are doing then it's fine leaving it on.

Think I have the same issue. Grinding noise sound like metal being dragged under the truck? Replaced the same items too. Of course when I dropped it off to Ford for this and another issue, no noise and they didn't want to investigate further
