I jumped the gun here... Leaking oil again. Put 2k miles on it in a week, and it has a pretty good leak to it again.
Drove it from MN to AZ. Thought I smelled something burning a couple times but didn't see anything leaking.
Then noticed it leaking after putting it to work on some trails down in...
This is the third Gen 3 I have put beadlock rings on. Even did the spare this time. Love the look and I will air down below 10 PSI often.
I had a local shop do it. Usually $450 for four wheels/beads, including mount and balance. I'm sure it can be done cheaper than that, but these guys do a nice...
I'm on that list. Leaked 45 min after I picked it up from the dealer on Feb 14th.
Picture in the article is of my buddy's truck. He got his back yesterday after waiting over a month.
Parts for mine showed up Friday, and I should have the truck back next week.
Crank case seal was bad. They're...
Ford does seem to be having a real problem with quality control the past year. Look at the mess this week with their Lightning F150s.
This is the first real issue I've had with a Ford truck since 2017. It's my 5th Raptor, and my 7th Super Duty, never had an issue that has sidelined a truck until...
Ask if they can arrange a transport for it? Mine was at the rail yard in Cottage Grove, MN for 4 weeks and the dealer told me they had a driver shortage. Check it for oil leaks when it shows up, good luck and hope you get it soon.
I brought the truck back the same day I took delivery, and told them not to cash my check until they had an ETA on the fix. They'll gladly keep it and sell it for much more over than I paid. But I want the truck.
Oil leak update:
The new oil sending unit did not fix the problem.
They believe it's the crank case seal. Same issue that a buddy of mine had with his down in AZ.
ETA is 30 day minimum for a replacement part.
Truck had 50 miles on it...
Update from my dealer:
The Tech dug in and believes the oil is coming from the front of the motor, not the rear. They have an oil sending unit delivering tomorrow that they believe will fix it. Fingers crossed that is it...
Party was over before it ever really started.
Picked the truck up a couple hours ago. Drove 17 miles home, then noticed a few oil spots after I moved it into my garage.
Brought it right back to the dealer. Worried it's going to be the same story as a buddy of mine with his R - The front crank...
Interesting... I haven't seen anyone post with a build date that late. Maybe they're doing another round of R's?
Every build date I have seen posted has been December or Jan.
Stay strong gentlemen. Mine was built 12/23 then nothing for weeks. But this little fucking white circle appeared tonight and I might step back from the ledge. Pray for me.
Anyone been able to confirm their R has shipped but the tracker isn't updated?
My R has been built since 12/23, but not shipped according to tracker o_O
