    2011 Raptor Whipple Supercharger Eating Pistons

    I should clarify...this is only happening at full throttle under load (going up hill)......the truck starts missing and inevitably destroys one or more pistons

    2011 Raptor Whipple Supercharger Eating Pistons

    I have a 2011 Raptor with 21K on it. It did have a procharger from Hennessey. I removed that and had a whipple installed with a JDM tune. Now the truck is missing under load, and eating pistons. This will be the 3rd time we have replaced pistons. We are getting logs to send JDM to try and...

    2011 Raptor Whipple Supercharger

    Hello All....I have had this truck a year, it only has 20K miles on it and its been a nightmare. I did have a procharger installed. That was removed and a Whipple was installed. I thought everything was great, then it started missing when underload at high RPM's. The mechanic has broken two...

    Personally, a lot of businesses, whether Hennessey or simply Ford or Toyota or Costco.....a lot have lost the values surrounding customer service. This is probably due to the new generations as well as bad apples on both sides.

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    Well...as I have said, I dont know Hennessey, never really dealt with them, when I reached out the guy got back to me promptly, he gave me great advice, and was helpful....as I stated before everyone has opinions, they are like asses...some are better than others. Don't get me wrong, I am for...

    Oh I am not going to post it on here.....I will post it on another online avenue...where I have sold many vehicles in the past. I will get this fixed. Hennessey responded but basically said they could not be of much help because i am not the original owner.

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    @MTF no worries....this whole thing is frustrating. I am a disabled veteran, so income is slightly limited.....I had always wanted one of these trucks....had never ran across bad info on the velociraptor until i bought the truck and joined the forum. Oh well...such as life.....fix and move on

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    @MTF I never said ford offered a warranty for a supercharged raptor? I am not sure why you said that? I was saying a NEW vehicle.....ANY new vehicle has a warranty. Yup if this cannot be repaired, I will have to get a new block. As I said I am selling it, I will probably drive it home and...

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    Well Mr Know It All MChurch, I already admitted I should have read more about Hennessey. I also bought a used Tacoma last year that turned out to be a turd. Tacomas are generally a great truck. The one I got, that was USED, not so much. Thus I will NEVER buy used again. Has NOTHING to do...

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    Does anyone have the contact for Grant at Hennessey? I will at least try, pull the disabled vet card. Sometimes it helps sometimes it does not. Cant say I will ever buy a used vehicle again. This is the 2nd used vehicle Ive ever bought and both have had major issues. Im hoping the dealer...

    New raptor.....motor BOOM

    Ive owned quite a few supercharged vehicles. Never had an issue ever. While Im sure other super chargers are better, the last thing I want to do is pour more money into this after fixing it. Most likely going to sell it or trade it

    Well it melted the piston. I just found out today. So people keep stating Livernois tune. How do I get this and how do I contact them? The Raptor I bought, only had 18K on it. I literally put 300 miles when this happened. The shop thought possibly that due to sitting it had a fuel...
