    Misfire Issues

    http://www.stratifiedauto.com/blog/misfires-and-the-ecoboost-when-should-you-worry/ I think "misfires" are typical at idle on the 3.5 EB. With my COBB stage 2 I had bad misfires (hesitation, knocking) at WOT. After gapping the colder plugs to 0.026 the WOT misfires resolved. Mine was mostly...

    GEN 2 Misfire Code? SPD may have found a simple fix.

    As in, I have to buy/carry octane booster every time I fill up, which is a lot. Torco and Boostane are not cheap at $30 - $35 a bottle that will basically do one tank (26 gallons). You are looking at ~$120 fill-ups. If I was running at a drag strip then it makes sense, but I often fuel up...

    I have not. I drive a lot am afraid it would be cost prohibitive, but I am open to suggestions if people have them.

    GEN 2 Misfire Code? SPD may have found a simple fix.

    I have a 2017. I have no idea what the plugs are in the 2020. I originally changed to sp542's in the 1st year of ownership due to misfire issues. That resolved all issues as I was also running the Livernois tune. When the Cobb stage 2 changes I had misfires again but I think it's a...

    GEN 2 Misfire Code? SPD may have found a simple fix.

    Update: I changed all the plugs (sp542's with ~40k miles on them) to the replacement M-12405-35T gapped at 0.025. Did a bunch of WOT pulls in normal and sport. Zero misfires at WOT with boost 23 - 24 psi on any of the cylinders. It pulled hard and smooth through all gears. In all honesty...

    GEN 2 Anyone trade in their 2017’s

    I’m jealous of your trucks durability. My 17 has not been as kind but since I paid cash on day #1 it’s ride or die until next generation comes around. I’m at 57k miles and just went Cobb stage 2. Now upgrading rotors/pads and leaf springs. To me it’s cheaper and more fun than buying...

    GEN 2 Misfire Code? SPD may have found a simple fix.

    I’m running the Cobb stage 2 as of this weekend and was getting bad misfire (truck “bucking) only in cylinder #6 at WOT. I pulled all the plugs (sp542’s) and gapped to 0.025 and that helped 95% but still got a misfire read on the V3. I could not feel/hear the misfire vs before gapping down to...

    GEN 2 Swapping tuning platforms questions

    Mishimoto R&D: 2017+ F-150 / Raptor Intercooler Pipes

    Bump... Anyone change out the intercooler pipes when upgrading stock intercooler? I am putting in whipple IC next week and turbosmart BOV. I am curious if anyone changed out their piping and felt it was actually worth while.

    Best intercooler

    Did anybody just upgrade their cold/hot side intercooler pipes and silicone boots at the same time when doing the IC change? https://www.mishimoto.com/ford-f150-2017-35-ecoboost-intercooler-pipe-kit.html

    GEN 2 Swapping tuning platforms questions

    Subscribed. I'm about ready to roll over 60,000 miles and be out of warranty and was wondering the same thing. I currently have a Livernois tune and am thinking about MPT vs Cobb and adding CAI + upgraded intercooler.

    Auxiliary Light Trouble Shooting Help

    The switch is illuminated. It’s grounded to the body where it’s always been grounded - connection is tight. it’s -35 F here with windchill so it’s making it hard to do much. thanks for the tips guys.

    Directly to the Aux switch. Doesn't each auxiliary switch have a built in amp and relay?

    Auxiliary Light Trouble Shooting Help

    I run Baja Design squadron pro x 2 lights on Auxiliary switch #1. I have had them wired since 2017 without issue. As of yesterday they have stopped working. The S2 pros on Aux #6 continue to work without issue. I checked the fuse and it looks fine, I even swapped with Aux #2's fuse (15A) and...

    GEN 2 Highest mileage Gen 2, Who has it?

    Supposedly the housing was cracked where the transfer case bolted up, but I called BS as it was perfect until the "roll pin" recall. I think the tech neglected to re-install/replace the transmission dowel pins, which caused the entire transmission/T-case to flex and cause damage. First blamed...

    GEN 2 Why does this thing have to be a piece of shit?

    I am going to eat the post warranty costs until prohibitive Same sentiments on my end too. I do majority of my own work as well. I am hoping to keep this version until next Raptor 3.0 comes out.

    GEN 2 Why does this thing have to be a piece of shit?

    Yep. This truck gets one shot post-warranty. I will fix it and move on to something else if issues. I love everything about this truck but the ongoing issues have left a bad taste in my mouth. I am not sure I'd buy another one, but unfortunately there's nothing else out there quite like it.
