    Sharing with my forum bros. Just had these two TSB's done.

    That's exactly the symptom. It's the vacuum hose connecting to the IWE switch (or something like that). I'm traveling and will post the TSB numbers when I get back.

    Yea, I had the two done.

    Sharing with my forum bros. Just had these two TSB's done.

    Apparently, a common issue with F150's in general. Front end grinding, noise due to vacuum hose/IWE connections. TSB available. Also have hard shifting on cold start which is another TSB. Had both done and my '17 Gen2 is driving much better. Did some digging and found this long thread at...

    18 Trans Reflash

    Anyone share a link to the TSB for th trans flash? Wondering if this applies to my Dec 2016 build as well. Hard shifting on cold starts but ok when I remote start for 2-5 mins before driving.

    After engine start, steering wheel vibrates when moving into position?

    Started noticing this intermittently over the past couple of months. There was a recall on the airbag (I think) a while back and I'm wondering if the tech working on it made some adjustment to the steering column that resulted in this. It doesn't happen all the time but I'd say 50-60% of the...

    2019 Raptor as a Daily Driver

    Sorry if it's been discussed already but I just watched the TFL Truck review and they noticed a little stiffer ride than the '17-'18's due to the new live fox shocks. And definitely not as lush of a ride as the Gen1 - according to them. I love my '17 as a daily driver. normal mode is a bit soft...

    Catastrophic engine failure, what would you do?

    Yup, got it confused with the OP. Thanks.

    Catastrophic engine failure, what would you do?

    it is interesting that the SM says that they've seen this happen in other F150's. Were those others also tuned? If not, it would seem obvious to me that you'd have a case for a warranty repair?

    Recall 18S17

    Just found this on Amazon but I'm not an expert in vehicle insulation and soundproofing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYUKKNN/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

    Recall 18S17

    This absolutely sucks. If anyone finds some flame retardant insulation for the B-pillars, I would be interested in a DIY solution to reduce noise. This is a big time fail on Ford.

    Recall 18S17

    Or why not cover the insulation with the same foil tape? What am I missing here?

    GEN 2 Is the NEW tech package worth it?

    Adaptive cruise is awesome imo. The braking system in the adaptive cruise is a little slow but in light traffic, it works great on long trips. Lane keeping is OK on those long drives to remind you that you’re tired and need a 4th cup of coffee lol otherwise it is annoying, especially to your...

    Used 2018' Crew Cab 802A Raptor for sale $57,000

    That’s tough stuff. Why not give Darin the benefit of the doubt? He’s been nothing but helpful to a lot of folks on this forum who didn’t even buy from him. It’s 2018 not 1988, the industry is very transparent these days and it isn’t hard to figure out fair market value for pretty much any...

    Best deal and dealer to Preorder a 2019

    There were a bunch of those dealers during the Gen1 days but many have them have just fallen in line with the others by now and are doing the ADM thing. I put a lot of weight into customer service and strong relationships. If you're willing to do a fair deal and get a high level of service and a...

    Best deal and dealer to Preorder a 2019

    I'd give 03'Darin a shout if you're looking to ship an order or are in central PA area. I bought mine locally from Boulevard Ford in Lewes, DE from Ryan McCracken who's now the GM at Pittsville Ford in Pittsville, MD. At Boulevard Ford, my family has bought cars from Daniel Jarabah who's a great...

    Used 2018' Crew Cab 802A Raptor for sale $57,000

    You're a straight shooter and easy to deal with, Darin. Good luck and I think you'll find a buyer in reasonable time due to your willingness to work with buyers.

    Tire pressure on soft sand dunes

    I air down to around 20psi when we go on the beach. You're risking it if you keep your tires fully inflated in soft sand. No thanks.

    2019 limited gets raptor tune

    Hopefully the TFL Truck will do an A/B comparison of the Raptor and 2019 F150 Limited. That would be interested to watch, I would think.

    Phone issues with hands free. Help! Lol!

    I think that volume is set either during your call or when the voice prompt comes on? Once the voice prompt goes off, the volume goes back to what was set on Sync for music, etc. This is what I tried in the past and seemed to work for me.

    I'd imagine a larger displacement before more cylinders?

    how many clicks on your new delivery

    i had around 70 but mine was probably part of that factory recall just prior to the first deliveries in Q4 2016. I didn't mind the test driving...would rather factory/dealer find any problems first before I do. YMMV.

    Truck bed accessory for shovel, board, rope?

    Thanks for the tip! What did you use to make the cut? Is the rack plastic?

    Truck bed accessory for shovel, board, rope?

    Thanks for the info. I also have the Truck Covers USA American Roll Cover but mine didn't come with a velcro strap? Weird. Appreciate the help!
