Personally I'm waiting for the sweet spot of year 3 in the Gen 3 lifecycle. Seems to me that during the Gen 2 lifecycle that is when dealers were sitting on tons of inventory and selling below MSRP. Plus, the mid-generation updates were done. Hoping by then you can get the 37" package without...
Cody Mathes has a list of dealers on his Raptor Connection channel that have agreed to sell for MSRP. He is also a member of many of the Raptor groups on Facebook. He works for Offroad Alliance.

I was referring to the revisions of the part. I'm hoping it does correct the issue and it solves my problem for good. How much long term data are you aware of for the new part?
I stand corrected, just another tech on another forum. Nice to hear the numbers are lower.
I realize the engine we are talking about here is a much more narrow scope, I was referring to the fact that more engines have had issues with the timing and I would assume all manufacturers have some...
Only about 10% of all ecoboosts get them. Not only the Raptor, Ford also had issues with cam phasers in some of the other engines in the past to include some of the V8s. It's been proven time and again that whether you change your oil early or not or using synthetic has no effect on the issue...
Even 2020 models have had them. I think there are 3 different parts out now and the Ford techs I've seen post say the latest one released in late 2019 looks promising. They also say only about 10% of all ecoboosts ever get the issue. I guess I'm just one of the lucky 10%.
It's also more than...
Not sure how long you plan on having the truck, but if you are going to have it for awhile you should consider the Ford ESP. Flood Ford would still sell you one with an inspection. I had cam phasers at 20k miles and it's just now coming back at 50k miles. I plan to keep my truck for another...
Completely agree! And pretty much all covers and canopies get a leak somewhere, so the water just runs out under the mat. I bought the Rough Country mat for under $100, probably the only Rough Country item I'll ever own....haha.
I'll be moving my RSI SmartCap EVO canopy over from my Gen 2 with spray in bed liner and a rubber mat. I tried the tonneau cover and kept running out of space. I love the utility of the canopy and the RSI holds up well even jumping and 4-wheeling.
For what it's worth, the Bakflip MX4 was a...
I've just seen too many people raped on their brake services. They basically hold you hostage by saying it's a safety hazard and make people replace parts that don't need to be replaced. I also had a very bad customer experience event about 15 years ago. Closed my credit account with them on...
I've also got a LF Grey in the PNW. About an hour away from shithole Portland.
Have you tried giving Discount Tire a shot? Much better than Les Schwab IMO, only use them in a pinch in remote areas.
I have a 2018 and just passed 50k miles. I had the same thoughts as you, but double checked the service manual and decided I'm going to play it by the book. I've got an ESP plan, so **** it. If something breaks I'll waive the service manual in front of them and tell them to look up my dealer...
I looked at the radiance for the same reason, amber backlight. Opted for performance instead and got the Baja Design SAEs. Love them. I use them anytime it’s dark, just gives a warmer feeling to the lighting and makes a world of difference in fog and rain.
Starting to see cam phaser symptoms coming back for the second time on my 2018 at 50k miles. Needed the trans reflashed due to really hard shifting at 4-5 and 7-8. About to get second repair on sun roofs rattles. I had door locks freeze in cold weather and door handle seals were falling out...
I just have Ford replace them when in for oil changes, at least once a year. I get great performance out of them and live in the PNW where we get a lot of rain.
