    Gen 2 Upfitter Switch Tailgate Release Kit

    Completely agree. Easy to complete and well planned out instructions with pictures for those that are handicapped by words. Well priced too. I love being able to hit the switch to drop the tailgate.

    Resolution on Bad Shifts in Lower Gears?

    Same here. I too had my transmission replaced after the ‘roll-pin recall’. I have the same “crisp” (I.e. hard) shifts when slowing down and transmission downshifts 5 - 3 - 1, etc. It’s identical to the transmission that was replaced and on par with the aforementioned comments. I think it’s...

    Livernois tune?

    I uploaded 93 LMS tune today. I waited until new transmission had ~1000 miles and truck has ~11,000 miles overall. After a few computer glitches getting tunes uploaded to programmer from LMS it was an easy upload to the truck. After 100 miles so far so good. It just pulls and pulls and...

    Door latch and lock nightmare :/

    Failing (i.e. intermittent) driver's side door lock here. Definitely worse when coated with elements (mud, sand, snow, etc). I will take it when it is consistently failing.

    Profile Pics of Leveled Raptors?

    It's definitely lower by about 1/4". I even measured after initial installment and again a couple of weeks ago to see if they have settled. There has not been any change or movement. They are easy to install too.

    transfer case leaking

    Not the exact same issue but similar concern initially. I was leaking transmission fluid after the 'roll pin recall' repair and initially they thought it was a bad transmission pan seal and a bad front seal between the transmission and transfer case. They replaced both seals, I kept...

    Raptor in the snow

    4A for most stuff unless it's deep snow then I will switch to 4H. The KO2's are average in the snow and worse on packed, slick snow/ice. The "modes" make up for some of the tires, but stopping and turning are nothing like a set of Blizzaks, or Michelin's X-ice I run on my Jeep Grand Cherokee...

    I know and feel your pain. I could smell burning transmission fluid this morning but did not see any leaks. I am hoping it's residual fluid on the exhaust. I hope you get your truck soon.

    Transmission never “went out”. There was a leak in the transmission case bolt where the transfer case attaches. Needed a new transmission case but that part does not exist, hence an entire replacement. The livernois tune had NOT been installed.

    I finally picked up the Raptor today. They replaced the transmission and put on a new oil pan/gasket and changed oil with new filter. The dealership even detailed the inside and outside of the truck. The dealership was top notch. Ford as a company was another story. It felt good to be back...

    Basically, they did not have much to add other than the 'Customer Rep" could see my dealership was requesting a transmission replacement and that the dealer was working with the Regional Manager to get this approved. The 'Customer Rep' created a second case file where the Regional Manager...

    Sage advice and I appreciate it. Hard not to get irritated after a month of the dealer requesting something (new transmission) from Ford but no movement. I will try to be patient.....

    10 speed 3rd to 4th/5th shift

    I am starting to sense a trend with leaking transmissions in those trucks affected by the 'Roll Pin Recall'. I wonder if our transmissions are turds coming off the line? Before the leak I too would have the hard 3rd gear shift, restart truck x 2 for getting "stuck" in 7th gear after pushing...

    10 speed 3rd to 4th/5th shift

    I had the almost identical issue. See my post on Raptor issues in this forum. Essentially I had the roll pin recall completed and took truck home (400 miles) for X-mas. Truck started “bucking” and shifting from 10th to 5th to 7th, etc. I stopped immediately and could see transmission fluid...

    Talked to the dealership today and there is a leak around where the housing of the transmission bolts to the transfer case (i.e. crack in the transmission housing vs where the bolts hold). They stated they would need to replace the transmission case which would be on back order for months...

    Livernois tune?

    I have the tuner too but do to my transmission leaking and no one being able to pinpoint the leak my Raptor remains at the dealer for week #3. Once the transmission is resolved I’ll move forward with the Livernois tune too.

    2017 Supercab with 10,000 Miles had Roll pin recall completed over 1 week ago. Attempted to drive on Monday to relatives for Xmas (~400) miles but hemorrhaged transmission fluid about 150 Miles into trip. Limped to 2nd dealership in closest town available. Transmission temps never elevated...
