We’re gonna need a little more background than that. It’s also customary to introduce yourself in the new members section first. Details, such a mileage, TSB number, bought new/used, recalls performed, vehicle repair and maintenance history, etc. are all relevant.

Welcome! Nice truck!

What company is making a “centennial edition”?

Normal. It’s a weep hole.

That’s assuming the PIDs in ForScan are actually active; many PIDs are available for selection across multiple systems but don’t actually have live data. They will often leave PIDs inaccurate that aren’t tied to a diagnostic procedure. Before getting too far into it you may want to compare the...

The amperage readings to the solenoids should change by drive mode.

There’s actually 11 diff part numbers; the “LA” suffix is for trucks with adjustable pedals, variable wipers, hydraulic steering, power tilt w/ memory column, and front and rear camera built 8-20-2012 to 10-28-2013. According to the parts catalog it’s discontinued.

The Ranger Raptor has unique forged aluminum front control arms; they’re not shared with the standard Ranger. The track is 3.5” wider, just like F-150 and Bronco Raptors are wider than their standard versions.

Just for context, the US has never had a Ranger Raptor; so you might not get much feedback from fellow owners. We’ll be getting the all-new 2024 model sometime next year. As far as the issue, there are a multitude of possible causes for error messages and a no crank condition. Can you...

The VCT/phaser issue has been resolved for almost 4 years now. If the previous owner had the recall completed at low mileage it’s unlikely to experience the issue. That being said, the biggest concern with any used vehicle is maintenance and use history. That is especially true on high...

There are 2 drain channels and 4 drain tubes. One channel on each side and one drain tube at each corner.

Per the paperwork they isolated the leak to the drain tube and repaired it; they generally aren’t going to do the maintenance items. The drains get clogged with environmental debris, they can be cleaned with trimmer string. The Roof Opening Panel seals should be cleaned and lubricated with...

The headlamps are powered by Field Effect Transistors. Any change in circuit resistance or current draw will cause DTCs to set and the headlamps will be disabled. None of the circuits on modern vehicles are designed to be tapped into.

I posted the excerpt from the Owner’s Manual in my previous post. And yes, a broken vent tube will certainly allow water ingestion. Just to clarify, I’m not saying that driving through standing water should cause immediate panic and the axle fluid should be changed on the side of the road. Or...

There is a huge difference between rain water and actually submerging an axle or transfer case under water. If the axles or transfer case are fully submerged then the fluid should be changed. That’s per the manufacturer, not someone’s opinion. As far as warranty, defect vs. damage is...

First post…so you buy this new or used? Maintenance and accident history? The ROP is a wet seal, it bypasses water into the drain channels. Environmental debris commonly clogs the drains, did they run trimmer string through them all to verify they’re clear?

No. It means if the axles are submerged, the fluid should be replaced afterward. This is nothing new.

I see you reacted with a “laugh” at my post, as usual. Par for the course, but surprising for someone that claims to have worked in the industry as a mechanic. So maybe you can explain to everyone how water “off the tires” got in the axle fluid? :think: Radial seals are designed to seal oil in...

These trucks have traditional semi-floating rear axles like most light duty pickups. The axle seals are radial shaft seals; they’re designed to seal in oil and keep out dust. If the rear end of the truck is submerged, water will push past the seal lip and into the axle tube. That is why it’s...

$250? It takes less than 15 minutes to update both modules. As far as fixing the problem, that’s literally was the update was released for, so that’s the first step regardless.

Needs to be diagnosed, don’t just throw parts. Could be a leaking injector, pump, damaged line, biased sensor, etc.

I didn’t see where OP stated he wanted his truck to be slower. The slow boat anchor was put out to pasture for a reason.

This was resolved 3 years ago. It’s a simple door module software update. If you had them diagnose it they would (should) have ran OASIS and found Service Message 49217, which applies to various models from 2015-2020.

Make sure you have the latest tune from Shelby; you’ll probably need to contact Shelby/Tuscany directly. They’ve been blowing up 5.0’s with their supercharger kits for years and trying to weasel out of covering the replacement engines. They claim the latest calibration they have is “safer”. Not...

Welcome! The Gen 2’s are amazing quick for a 6000lb vehicle.
