Took my Raptor to the dealer for the last time, phasers #2 at 39,000. This is the third time its been in for phasers or phaser solenoids and the second time for axle bearings.... Shes gone. Left with a 6.7 F250... Take care gents, best wishes on the forum. Always wanted to make a Baja trip.

I had mine fixed after summer 2018 and it now rattles just like it used to. It’s getting worse and it rattles under light to moderate acceleration when the revs are up over 2000. It sounds like the engine is coming apart, Blackstone oil analysis says everything is great. Sent from my...

And here I was all excited thinking it was a V8 vs a V6.... [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It showed up as a $5 BILLION dollar hit on their 2019 EOY financials. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, super excited about Wahoo. I agree, more than a few times and I am rolling dice. Only reason I considered it is the older F250s with the 7.3 diesel were rated around 15k or so and the Gen2 frame puts that old super duty to shame. The old super duty could be had with 5.4, the raptor...

Thanks. Are you on the stock rear leafs? I presume electric over hydraulic? What speed do you tow at? Nice rig, touché!! [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am ridiculously jealous of that garage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a hauler drag my new to me 320 Outrage (14,000 pounds here) up from South Florida, he used his F450 work truck. This afternoon I saw the boat sitting at the marina and I had know. Could the Raptor with its beefy frame and Deaver +3HD (13 leafs) handle the load? Granted I was not...

I for one will admit, as much as I love the sound of a V8, I’m ready to forgo the complexities of variable valve timing, and turbos for the future of 800-1000whp electric Raptors.

It looks like cam phasers and other cost savings measures are starting to take take a toll on earnings. “The drop is because of the continuation of higher warranty costs during the second half of 2019, lower vehicle sales volumes, reduced results from Ford Credit, and higher investment in...

Im up for round 4 with phasers, 37,000 miles. The decel, lift throttle fast rattle has returned and the truck sounds like a diesel the first few minutes of driving with the windows down. After sitting for four days and starting it sounds hideous. Once the oil warms up it sounds mostly okay...

If you had rod knock you would know it at idle just barely blipping the throttle. My truck makes a similar noise when cold on acceleration and I am thinking it is the HP fuel pump or slop in the phasers. I will be sending off an oil sample to Blackstone shortly, if its rod knock the oil...

Absolutely. Chevy did it with the LS7 V8 in the corvette and Mazda with their transmissions in the Miata ND1 AND ND2. Just limp them outta warranty until they release the next beta model lineup. They all do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine were before this however the replacement phasers had different part numbers as well. Have no idea how he came up with the PIDs while driving it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My truck had PID errors at high RPM, stumbling (sounded like it was choking) and limp mode with a flashing CEL. They replaced the phasers and the problem went away. I had multiple P030X codes and even P0300 (general misfires). The P030X codes were seldom the same ones, ie it might be P0302...

The SSM is full of crap. It absolutely affect durability. At high RPM, high boost those cams are clocking to reduce dynamic compression. When they lose precise control of the compression you get actual pre-ignition which shows up at as a misfire code, flashing CEL and limp mode. These...

My truck never sounded remotely that bad but it went into limp mode with ah... 8,000 pound 28’ center console on I-4. That was embarrassing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As a track day coach I have driven some cool stuff. The cool stuff runs around $4k a weekend (tires, rotors, brakes, tranny/engine reserves, etc). My goal was to build a street legal car that handles better than all of them, nailed it with this one. #2300 pounds, Ohlins, Stoptech, E85...

“An 8.8% increase in the Dearborn, Michigan, automaker’s truck and van sales the past three months wasn’t enough to offset a 10.5% decrease in SUV sales and a 29.5% drop in cars.” F-150 sales actually increased. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OEM tire vs 37” KM3. Not much difference in height, slightly over an inch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Man... I bet something would snap.

LS9! The only reason I think you had me is do to the fact I had RE-71 treadwear 300s on for the street and the ZR1 actually had better gearing than the Z and GS. Always wanted the ZR1.

Look, if you are gonna bring a naturally aspirated flat six track car (and it’s one of the best) on here and brag about acceleration, let me present to you the C6 Vette with an LS7, the new one is much quicker. 100 treadwear isn’t enough until the tires are hot. Once knocked out 10.6 1/4 and...
