Absolutely the best - ordered full light setup from Nick yesterday morning and tracking shows it will arrive tomorrow. In “these trying times” customer service is all but gone. Nick continues to be defy the trend. He was also extremely patient and helpful in guiding me in the best direction...

I had zero problems with insurance and zero problems getting an extended warranty out to 140k miles. Carfax notes the manufacturer buyback event but shows clean or positive checkmark for lemon and salvage title. Oasis report shows all transactions for the truck so easy to see what you are...

Oh crap he’s right! What have I gotten myself into?

Back to reality... Ford establishes Reacquired Vehicle Repair Centers in Regions around the country. Being a RAV repair center is by invitation only from Ford and your reputation with Ford has to be stellar to get the invite. These are Gold Star repair facilities and that designation is not...

If you really believe that about Ford, Ford dealer repairs and Ford service, you probably should not drive a Ford. The Raptor is the flagship model of the #1 selling vehicle on the planet. If you dealer can’t fix it - find another dealer. My dealer doesn’t band aid fix my truck.

This is exactly the case with mine. Cam phasers early in the life of the gen2 kept it in the shop for extended periods. Initially they had to wait on parts, then replaced 2 of the 4. That didn’t work so it went back in and replaced again with first generation parts. I bought it as a RAV and saw...

Ridge or Terra? I believe both are E. I run Ridge Grapplers at 38F and 37R and they have performed well. Ridge look great and I think they ride really well and quiet. There was a positive trend on this forum for Nittos For a while. Lately seems more negative. But I am very happy with them so...

OldFart I heard you tried reversing the wires on your seat blowers to see if you could get them suck in air versus blowing out air. How’d that work out?

Ran OEM K02s to 37k. They got crazy loud, probably could have gone another 7k but winter driving was getting scary. Swapped for Ridge Grapplers and love them. I am not sure why a couple of comments were critical of them as a rain tire. They have been great for me.

Bummer. Keep us posted...

Agree 100% (as always) with FT1. Mine had cam phasers replaced with old parts in 2019. Noise came back in 10k miles so replaced with new parts in 2020. Truck has zero noise on startup now and runs great and feels solid. If your dealer doesn’t know about this or needs you to get the TSB for...

100% agree that Nick’s customer service and attitude are bar none the best I have experienced in a long time. I send him emails and he seems to always be working! Responds fast. I ordered a Cobb Stage 1 setup from him after seeing all the good comments, so glad I did. Ordered late Friday...

So in 2018 some dude raced up in just under 8 minutes? That’s one of those records I can’t even comprehend. I don’t know if I could drive around my block in 8 minutes.

Well, I previously thought it was like a cruise control setting where it used the engine and gravity to keep speed constant versus riding brakes. The Ford website says it toggles the anti locks to keep speed constant on inclines. As I recall it felt to me like it was using the engine, like...

I admit it was intimidating going up, felt like tires were right on the edge. Once at the top I worried the whole time I would get light-headed and would be unable to drive back down. Couple of doughnuts later I felt better. Guess I was worried I would get stuck up there. Scariest part was...

Gen2 ? Should have hill descent mode, this will save your brakes from overheating. They check them on the way down for overheating. Seems all the cars in front of me had to stop for a brake cool down. Mine were fine. going up was fine but coming down was a blast. I turned off lane correction...

I got strange sounds coming from truck after my teenage son drives it - they get louder when I turn the VOL knob clockwise. Big screen on the dash says things like Radiohead or Sonic Youth. Are those codes I need to be worried about? This stuff frightens and confuses me.

So this gets in the weeds, but I suspect it’s the problem... I remote start, truck idles for 15-20 seconds and then either a fast idle kicks on (with A/C???) or a fan or something else causing engine noise to increase. Anyone know what the secondary noise is after initial idle? That’s when the...

Well, mine is technically a 2018 built in late 2017. As far as I could tell the TSB was issued for 2017s. I assume it applies to 2018s also, but I can’t tell you for certain until I get it into the shop.

Thanks FordTechOne, I was hoping you would weigh in. I will try a different shop and mention the TSB 20-2016, can't hurt. There have been a lot of threads on the wastegate rattle, your mention of the TSB on this was the first potential "solution" I saw. Hopefully this will help out others.

Yeah, I have 3 other dealers close by. I agree with you on the waste gate rattle. I even mentioned that to them, but I didn’t want to be “that guy” (know it all forum reader dude).

My Raptor is a 2018 802a, early build date (Nov 2017), approximately 42K miles, replaced cam phasers in March 2020. No tunes, all stock. I rarely get on the gas in this truck, drive it pretty easy. About July 2020 , approximately 10-20 seconds after start-up, a clicking noise starts. I...

Ran my original set of K02s to about 38k. Noise was pretty bad, and I did drive them through the winter here in Missouri at 38k and they actually did fine in snow and ice. Replaced in February with Ridge Grapplers, was blown away with the improved ride, handling and less noise. Could be I was...

Lift master openers - have to be within a couple of feet to work With my 2018. If Door is wet with rain forget it - and that sucks worse because I then have to get out (in the rain) to open the door which is why I want the damn opener to begin with.

If the “step carpet“ is wet are you sure it’s not the rear drain hose (I think for the sun roof). Mine was disconnected, apparently this happens often in F150s. Pulled interior trim piece by rear belt and was able to reach down to bottom and felt loose hose. Reattached to grommet down there and...
