    GEN 2 I need some help from the experts. Potential Oil Starvation.

    Sounds like they’re going to owe you an engine. With oil loss that substantial and the low oil pressure warning coming on it’s next to impossible that there is not internal engine damage.

    AC making noise but not blowing

    Yes, it’s a software update for 2021-2023 models. Labor time to do the updates is only 1 hour.

    Air Conditioning - not working

    Yes, that’s the one.

    Pre-collision warning malfunction

    On a 2017 the pre-collision system uses only the Cruise Control Module (CCM) in the front bumper.

    Ground Near TCM

    Yes; that is G306. What led you to unplugging the TCM? You’ll really need to duplicate the concern and have ForScan available to troubleshoot.

    Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

    A shock is a wear and tear item regardless of manufacturer. If the CPO warranty doesn’t cover it you can’t expect the manufacturer to make an exception, especially when it was purchased used. However, I’m sure the dealer made a healthy margin on the sale. They sold it to with the clunk sound...

    I've Owned my Raptor for 2 Months, It's been at the dealer for Most of it

    “Blue Certified” means nothing other than a limited warranty; most dealers just pencil whip the inspection and put it on the lot. Even if they are aware of a potential issue they may let it go so that the Ford warranty has to pay to fix it later instead of it coming out if their used car budget...

    Rough shift 3-4

    Yes, that’s normal. The transmission needs to warm up to temperature in order to operate smoothly and properly.

    2022 Raptor Steering Wheel Shake

    Well I’ll say you had me laughing out loud at “reliable 3rd Gen Tacoma”. Nothing like pulling an entire engine to reseal the extremely common timing cover leaks, or paying $13k out of pocket for new cylinder heads for the notorious valve failure issue. For the vibration issue I would recommend...

    Rough shift 3-4

    If its when the transmission is “cold” that’s entirely normal. The F-clutch applies for the first time on the 3-4 or 3-5 shift, so it takes a second to refill the cylinder.

    Anyone had these CEL code P00C6 Low Fuel Pressure Rail

    It’s a problem throughout the industry. Good techs have been leaving dealerships/retiring and there is a huge gap between them and the incoming 16 year olds. It’s not good. But if dealers would start treating technicians as professionals and paying them a fair salary things would be much...

    Weird sound from turbos?

    So I should have been more specific; you’ll need to block off the air filter (plastic bag works well) as well as the the turbos or exhaust in addition to the throttle body inlet. Otherwise pressure will not build.

    eBay Knockoff Fox Shocks

    Those are correct for a 2011-2014 Super Crew. Never heard it the diameter changing, they should match the originals.

    Drove a Gen 2 for the first time - Pros and Cons

    Exactly. Tesla is one of the worst companies for serviceability, especially out of warranty. They’re essentially disposable cars.

    Drove a Gen 2 for the first time - Pros and Cons

    Cam phasers have been fixed for half a decade now. It’s ridiculous to continue to even bring it up. Tesla designs for cost savings and assembly. Not for service. Which is why they’re a nightmare to work on and are often totaled after a minor fender bender. In other words, they’re disposable...

    2024 A/C Issues

    Exactly. Service Managers do not have access to information like that, nor would any manufacturer release information stating there is a “100% defect rate” on a particular vehicle or component.

    Power Mirrors Malfunctioning

    Gen 2s do not fold automatically. That’s an aftermarket modification.

    Houston.... we have a problem

    Looks like they found the root cause! Fuel in the oil causes severe wear, luckily it took out the VCT units before the bottom end of the engine. That also explains your earlier update where the oil was overfull.

    pre-collision camera keeps failing with anything in the back

    What do you mean by “failing”? What’s the message and DTC that are setting? You literally said you had this problem before and it was caused by the truck being overloaded, not sure what you want Ford to “fix” in that regard. Being a used truck it’s impossible to know if the truck was...

    Drove a Gen 2 for the first time - Pros and Cons

    Reliability is basically the same for 2021+ 2.7/3.5models. If you don’t need the extra power and towing capability, fuel economy is definitely a benefit to the 2.7. There is quite a big difference in maximum towing capacity between the two engines. Definitely something to consider, reference...

    2018 New motor recommendations

    Nope, no issue. Just clarifying that a 2017-2020 Gen 2 3.5 non-HO cannot be used in place of a 3.5 HO due to the internal differences. A 2021 3.5 it not backward compatible per Ford, but the aftermarket may have already solved for that. Never seen a single stock one fail in my experience. On...

    Weird sound from turbos?

    Sounds like either a restriction (intake tube or filter collapsing) or a boost leak. You’ll need a high pressure smoke machine to test the CAC system for leaks.

    Drove a Gen 2 for the first time - Pros and Cons

    Why do you not want the 3.5?

    2018 New motor recommendations

    Yes. But this discussion is on a 2018 Gen 2. “Seem to break”? I’ve never seen a single one. Crankshafts do not just “break” for no reason. The HO engines have the same crank as the Ford GT.

    Gen 3 ride height sensor

    Not sure, that’s just what other people have mentioned. When it comes to mods I avoid them like the plague.
