Agreed.
Not sure why anyone would compromise their warranty on a new truck, especially with the common CV axle issues resulting from lifts (“levels” :rolleyes:)
They don’t “begin to break” at any mileage, that’s simply a ridiculous anecdotal claim. Raptors are F-150s at their core; which are some of the most reliable and longest lasting vehicles on the road.
Obviously your dealership of choice is not competent if they can’t fix a simple differential...
Aside from injury/death due to a product defect, what could you possibly sue a manufacturer for? I don’t understand how people get into litigation regarding something as trivial as complaints on a vehicle.
Yes, the PCM set a DTC for the relay being de-energized too early and the ABS set DTCs for battery voltage and unexpected shutdown. I’d suspect a power or ground issue.
It sounds like it’s intermittently losing a ground.
Start with the variable, which is the aftermarket equipment. None of the factory power or ground circuits should be used for anything aftermarket, that’s one of the most common causes of issues such as this. All it takes is minimal additional...
Take a look at your ESP contract, it will tell you which coverage you bought. You can then either reference the brochure if you have it or look up the plan online to see if/what exhaust parts are covered.
It’s called cost of ownership metrics. To stay competitive, manufacturers benchmark industry standards to set maintenance intervals. You need to use discretion and tailor your maintenance to how your vehicle is used.
Do you also change your oil every 10,000 miles because that’s the maximum...
People keep reiterating that ridiculous conspiracy theory about the wire sheathing, it’s simply ridiculous. Animals will chew wires regardless of what they are made of, it’s just what they do. The best prevention is rodent repellents and traps.
IAT2 is your manifold charge temperature after the supercharger. It’s an indication of how efficient the S/C and heat exchanger are and will vary with ambient temperature, load, and airflow across the cooler.
Excessive manifold charge temperatures results in detonation, which will melt down...
An ambient temperature of 115-125 degrees F is extremely hot even for a stock truck. The aftermarket supercharger is adding a massive amount of heat that neither the engine nor the cooling system was ever designed to handle. The Supercharger essentially turns into one big heat pump at those...
Have you pulled DTCs using ForScan when the concern occurs? If it’s a PCM starter control or PATs issue it should have DTCs setting.
If there are no DTCs, use ForScan to access PCM Datalogger and check the TR PID. Verify it matches the gear selection when placed in Park or Neutral.
If the PID...
You’ll want to ask your dealer to submit a “Report a Vehicle Concern” using your VIN. One of the reporting criteria is “product concerns that will negatively impact customer satisfaction”. Your concern fits into that category.
Be sure to forward them your photos to include as well. That puts it...
You’re welcome.
There are two types of “Shelby” models, those built by Ford and those that are aftermarket upfits through Shelby/Tuscany.
The Shelby GT350 and GT500 are 100% factory Ford built and are the only models backed by the factory warranty and dealership network.
All Roush products...
So it’s a 2018 and the fluid was changed for the first time at 95k miles?
The 150k interval is for “Normal” operating conditions. That’s defined as mild temperatures, all highway driving, level terrain, and no towing, hauling, or off-road use. So that’s essentially nobody’s use case.
Not...
