Rust like crap in a year..... ask me how I know. That being said, at least I dont have swollen lugs anymore. But Looks like lugs are getting replaced every couple of years
Thats great. When mine gets sold it will be a high mileage , 1 owner well maintained.
Id love to hear the service history for that othetr 180k mile raptor on ebay as well , besides the phasers.
October of last year until March of this year is not 19 months lol, check your maths, its 6 months
"Fellas,
I am letting go my Raptor order set to go into production March 4, 2024. After waiting 19 months (notice the 10/23/23 order date below!), "
I had this exact same thing twice, Dealer replaced IWE each time. I didn't self diagnose before, interested in your findings. My guess is some type of small leak that when the car comes to a stop the leak is too much to hold the IWE, but I could be wrong.
In for the follow..... It seems when these fail, 60K plus or minus a bit seems to be the number. My set went out right around there the first time. Second set so far, so good about 40k miles later.
The only sound-ish financial choice generally is buy and keep for 10 years or buy something 10 years old and then be close to even if selling in 2 ish years. recent covid craziness excluded.

There is need and there is performance. I can tell a considerable difference in a shock with 40k miles on it then when new. Need is a realtive term. Id perfer to do them every 25k but the difference for mostly the road , eh , but there is a difference. I do mine about 55k.
So based on it parking the phasers during normal operation, it makes the autostart - stop a moot point for wear because they would be parked already, at low RPM.
You'll be surprised how well you can hide them without getting them all the way out with I believe what they call the 5-5-5 method? Something I've recently seen in detailing but I've been doing it for years without a real name. You just take a moderate compound on a microfiber pad and take...
The only time i've seen a trans flush recommended is when GM was having issues with their trans in the Gen6 Camaro shuttering, they did multiple full fluid flushes there with a special machine but as I understand it was often on very low mile cars.
As I understand the ECU remembers the position of the pistons/crankshaft and pin is not set in auto start stop. buddy at ford said start stop should have no effect even thought I thought the same thing.
lol and AI makes random crap up. I work in the space, its not a panacea and far from it.
Also, I'm not sure ford has ever solved its Cam Phaser issues over the last 20 years, they seem to find new and amazing ways to have problems. But, id agree with @FordTechOne , programs have been...
If its a 1 owner truck from private seller with records, id buy it. If it isn't , taking more chances. My truck when sold will likely be 150-200k one owner with all records. Whomever buys it will get a solid truck.
I watched this last night, when they replaced my plastic pan with the upgraded plastic part at just under 60k miles I havennt had another issue. Hears to hoping it stays that way for a while as it looks like they got it sealed well with RTV. My fear is over time that changes. I had a 12...
