    Another Ford service dept “gift”

    So the dealer called me and I talked to the supervisor and the lead tech. Both told me Ford is now telling them they are supposed to be performing the TSB I attached earlier as the correct one for IWE grinding. Despite it saying F150’s not including Raptors. They reached out to Ford this...

    Another Ford service dept “gift”

    I had to put tape over it since I didn't have any caps. I bringing it back to them tomorrow for a "definitive" repair. This one is on their dime.

    Another Ford service dept “gift”

    https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10181917-0001.pdf Here's what FordTechOne was referring too. As I figured, in this configuration the IWE are engaged at all times. This is for TOD transfer cases. I assume you defeat the purpose of the drive modes selections when this IWE...

    Another Ford service dept “gift”

    Is there some new work through or TSB that would make the tech not replace it the vacuum line I was just getting ready to tag you @FordTechOne, because I was going to ask if there was a new work through or something. It's a 2017.

    Anyone got a quick picture of the check valve and connections coming off the brake booster? I can't even find the vacuum line that comes off the check valve. It must still be at the dealership. F...ing monkeys.

    The grinding has stopped since there's no vacuum to the system so I assume the hubs have been in engaged the past week. I hate the dealership too and just ordered my own vacuum tester. I have 2 spare iwe check valves already.

    I went in for iwe intermittent grinding for the 4th time. This was done last week. I opened the hood today (should have double checked their work) and found this.

    Front timing cover oil leak

    My 2017 had the same thing. I noticed losing 1 qt every 5k and was able to visualize the leak and fixed under warranty.

    Deaver/eibach combo ?

    Only the front needs to be calibrated after adding springs. The rears "learn" off the fronts. If you did nothing to the front then there is nothing more for you to do.

    Deaver/eibach combo ?

    No, they are not. Throw some weight back there a put a few miles on them to see if they settle. If not, add a 1” drop shackle and then you’ll have a 0.5” rake.

    Burning Oil?

    Just do a quick search. Lots of owners have had to deal with the leaking valve covers.

    Burning Oil?

    Define "burning". You mean you see smoke out your tailpipes or do you mean truck is using oil in some capacity? Some reasons I have seen. 1. Valve covers - see TSB 2. Timing chain cover leaked - happened to my 2017 and was fixed under warranty If you aren't actually burning it your dealership...

    Was I wrong?

    I think prices in the midwest are much better. See the link. $64k for CPO 2019 802a crew cab with everything and only 18k miles. https://www.rochesterford.com/used-Rochester-2019-Ford-F+150-Raptor+w+Twin+Panel+Moonroof+++360+Camera-1FTFW1RG5KFD18159

    Was I wrong?

    Agree with above. 63K for a 2018 800a with 44,000 miles is insane. I paid $59.5K for my brand new (0 miles) 2017 802a SCAB. I would wait it out.

    ADD Pro vs. SVC Baja Bolt On Comparison

    BD spots in the middle, driving combo next, and then ambers. I have XL80 combos on top of hood.

    ADD Pro vs. SVC Baja Bolt On Comparison

    I put ADD bolt on last spring and did not have to deal with the PS bolts. It was a relatively easy 1 person job. Lined up great.

    IWE check valve storage

    My IWE issue this time was the solenoid. No more intermittent grinding with deceleration. I seem to be averaging one iwe issue per year.

    FSA 21B10 - Cam phaser update?

    Deleted out of mine too. I just dropped off at dealership for IWE’s. I was told only intervening if “concern” for cam phaser rattle on start up. knock on wood I’m 72,000 miles.

    FSA 21B10 - Cam phaser update?

    I got it on my 2017 too. I go in to the dealer for presumed IWE intermittent grinding tomorrow so I will see what this recall is at the same time. I will let you know - need to reprogram stage 2 map fist.

    GEN 2 COBB Accessport - Tuned by GooseTuned

    I ran e30 for a bit before going to e50. It was a very noticeable increase in power/torque over my 91 stage 2 Goose map. Plus you won't have to mix and get fill right off the tap. I would do it in a hot second.

    IWE check valve storage

    No "idiot" lights that I am aware of unless there was an acute transfer case issue, which there should not be.

    IWE check valve storage

    You may have chewed up the hubs already or actuators that engage the hubs. I didn't catch my "grinding" soon enough on the 2nd go round of IWE issues and Ford replaced everything (check valve, lines, actuators, and hub assemblies) on their dime via the known TSB. I just replaced my check...

    GEN 2 2020 Raptor tune ?

    There are a few on here running full e85 tunes. I have not completely converted to e85 yet because it gets so cold in MN that I am gun shy. I told myself I would change the high pressure fuel pump this spring/summer. I definitely like the idea of not having to mix fuel with every fill up.
