    Air conditioning not working

    Ok glad you checked first, I’m assuming you used ForScan? You should also be able to view PCM data to see if it’s inhibiting A/C operation. Your truck falls within the build date range of a possible sticking/seized A/C clutch (before 01-December-2017). If the A/C is trying to be commanded on by...

    Air conditioning not working

    The first step in diagnosis, before even checking refrigerant pressures, is to check for DTCs and view live data. The A/C compressor relay is controlled by the PCM, so if the PCM is seeing incorrect/invalid readings and/or has set a DTC, it will inhibit A/C operation. A common example of this is...

    Why is Ford so damn stupid! Oil Pan/Repairs Rant

    Umm this is your first post? :think: Might be a better approach to at least introduce yourself in the New Members section before going off on a tangent…

    GEN 2 FordTechOne recurring cam phaser rattle

    The old phaser shown in that video is not the current HL3Z-CD part, it is off of a 2018 Expedition. You can see the part number in the video is CB. The CD has has the same design as the new part.

    My ears are hurting - B&O sound system goes crazy - *safety issue*

    A software update has been available since 5/26 to resolve this issue. It’s a simple module update.

    Gen 1 to Raptor R

    Congrats, beautiful truck! 10k ADM might be a record low for an R!

    Added some flare to the grill LED bar

    I don’t recommend it, even with a Y harness. Aftermarket wiring/modules tend to fail at the most inopportune time, and in this case it has the potential to disable your headlights. As far as the operation, it would also need to be verified that it’s working as a trigger only, and not actually...

    Don't hate me for asking

    Well that further proves the point that one model doesn’t fit every use case, hence why the non-R Raptor has been around for 13 successful years. Personally, if I had the expendable funds, I’d be putting that $30k difference toward a new GT500. But as I said, that’s just personal preference.

    Oil pressure and temperature?

    It’s not that they don’t trust you. Too many people complain about the normal fluctuations of the gauges and bring it into the dealer because they think something is wrong. The dealer then bills warranty for the time. When enough people do that it adds up quickly.

    Don't hate me for asking

    We know what the MSRP is because it already exists. $109,245 before options. Ford is already selling every one they can build along with every non-R they build. Why would they discontinued a profitable model that is chosen by the vast majority of buyers? Makes no sense. Agreed, we buy these...

    Don't hate me for asking

    Definitely not. That would mean a G3 would cost at least $110,000. Not everyone wants or needs 700HP and 10MPG, nor do they want to spend an extra $30k.

    S.O.S. - computer problems

    Yes, Sync is designed to connect to devices. That doesn’t mean said devices won’t cause problems with the system. Infotainment systems in general are engineered years in advance of the latest devices, and updates are generally reactive as opposed to proactive. Meaning they are released mainly to...

    S.O.S. - computer problems

    And most of the time, it’s devices and apps paired to the system. The fact that the system has an issue when starting the vehicle is not indicative of anything; previously connected devices will have already corrupted the CIP side of the module.

    Key Fob issue

    Sounds like the fob is damaged and will need to be replaced.

    S.O.S. - computer problems

    Exactly, you need to re-evaluate without any devices connected. Devices and apps are the most common causes of infotainment system issues.

    What is this rattle?

    The old part numbers were purged from stock years ago. You got the updated ones.

    Ebay intercooler

    That is a very low price. I might connect an air compressor blow gun to the inlet side and verify that there is no left over manufacturing debris in the core.

    S.O.S. - computer problems

    Dealers can’t just replace “computer components”, or anything else for that matter just because the customer reports an issue. The concern needs to actually be duplicated and properly diagnosed to determine root cause. Before going to the dealer, the first thing you should do is perform a...

    Soon to be raptor owner in New England

    No need to replace it unless it fails, but if you’re going to be using the truck to travel or visit remote areas, you may want to be proactive and have it replaced with the updated part.

    Intermittent Charging from Center Console

    Not every phone is compatible with the wireless charging system, especially if it has a case. What phone are you using?

    2018 Raptor - Sunroof leak question

    Normal, sunroofs and roof opening panels use a wet seal design. Water bypasses the wet seal, enters the drain rails, and exits through the drain tubes. Krytox GPL-205 is the correct grease to maintain the seals.

    Nope, they still have serviceable inner and outer tie rods.

    Bent tie rods from minor rut G3 2022

    Bent suspension components are the result of an impact; impact damage is non-warrantable. It’s no different than landing badly and bending your bumper corner, the bumper is not defective because it bent from an impact. We all know the risks when off-roading, things can and will get damaged...

    Bent tie rods from minor rut G3 2022

    That makes absolutely no sense. Bent tie rods are the result of damage, not a warrantable defect. None of that damage is covered under warranty, not sure why the dealer would be willing to commit warranty fraud on your behalf. There is no “big issue”, you were running 45 PSI in your tires off...

    Soon to be raptor owner in New England

    Correct, no lead metal. The recall will prevent the sudden downshift scenario, but it doesn’t prevent any possible issues with the lead frame in the future. Yes, just a reprogram. The lead frame had extended warranty coverage for 10 years/150k miles from the warranty start date. Since this...
