    First year models that bad?

    well back to the original topic, I would not buy a first year model again. there is a reason people say not to, and in my case with my 2010 there was truth to it, which even mehanics at the dealership i used said. there are always going to be new design teething problems, i guess i look at it as...

    Chipped/Cracked paint by tail lights - Interesting find

    I think the bedliner would be a good idea. I looked at the area below the tail lights on mine in good sunlight, and the exterior of the box does show little dents as well.

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Well this one continues to elude resolution. They pulled the valve body, its fine, the pump adapter was cracked, it was replaced so they say, and still the issue persists. The inside of the pan and valve body looked fine, nothing on the magnet, fluid looked good, no real obvious issues. 20K...

    Chipped/Cracked paint by tail lights - Interesting find

    I havent seen this mentioned on line, so I thought I would pass this along. Two years ago the passenger side of my box by the tail light got hit by some weasle in a parking lot, and dented the area just below the tail light, on the edge of the extension (flat piece) beside the rear light. It was...

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Problem is still on going, potentially a valve body issue, back in for more poking around tomorrow.

    Transmission housing cracked in half

    Try an SCT tuner, see if it does anything. Otherwise, drive it till it pukes its guts most likely, then a new one. As quoted the new one is more, but I figure once they pull this one apart the costs will go higher.

    Transmission housing cracked in half

    I just got a quote for a tranny rebuild or swap. They estimate 12 hours just to pull and reinstall the tranny, in my area at 150$/hr (plus taxes, shop fees etc). The time to rebuild is open ended to a certain extent (we dont know what we will find...blah blah blah), but another 8 hours was...

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Well after testing the front the diagnosis has come back as a tranny issue. Namely the 3-4 shiftpoint with slippage creeping in. The 3-4000$ i am likely looking at only feels better when I see the other crippled raptor on the lot with a bad tranny.

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Well it irritates me to say the repairs have not worked. Under mild acceleration this problem is quiet enough i didnt hear it, but on the first long drive, schhhhhlunk was back. Iwe replaced, didnt fix it, vacuum system checked, disnt fix it. The noise only seems to happen between 30-40mph, the...

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    i have had that, but not with this problem. i had that very thing happen, but since having my shocks rebuilt i swapped tires and that wear issue hasnt come back. i had this iwe problem for at least 3000 miles now, and the tires (stock) are fine. the odd wear on every second tread was on...

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Well looks like this is an iwe issue. The ford dealer has diagnosed the issue as iwe losing vacuum under acceleration. This lets the iwe engage the diff in effect. Hats off to the tech, he could hear it even when i couldnt. The engagement at speed makes a clunk in this case that sounds like its...

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Well I had mine into the dealer, 250$s later, they assure me the tranny is fine. The tech confirmed he could hear this sound, which only happens at the 30mph shift point going up, but says the tranny is not the cause. Next step is hooking up the truck for audio to track the noise. What a PITA.

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Well I had the truck to the dealer, and got pretty much what I expected. That is, since its not making a noise now, there is nothing they can do. They were underneath it, see nothing wrong, noise not present. So, wait and see. I have about 110K miles on it, have had odd 'blips' with the tranny...

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Wondering what folks think happened today with my 2010 scab. Several times when accelerating mildly at about 30mph the truck would make a 'schhhhhhhhhh-lunk' noise. I assumed it was something with the tranny, though the sound seemed like it was coming from the back of the cab, and almost...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Well first I did this... It looked like a small puddle until the front wheel found it was 2 feet deep slop that pulled me into the big long bog of goo. Only took a few miuntes and a grader yanked me out. Then this... Sat waiting for some help since the factory jack wouldnt cut it...

    Truck making a clunking noise - Ford Raptor

    A genuine thanks to the guys who took the time to mention the dampener. About a month ago my 2010 started clunking going over small sharp bumps, and short dips in the road. The noise was definitely metal on metal. I couldn't get into my local dealer in less than a week, so took it to another...

    Can you add speakers to the stock Sync system?

    Well poop. That sucks, but I appreciate the info. Thanks. $... In the olden days you would pull out the pliers and make your 4 speaker setup into a kickazz 6 speaker setup. Mind you, I didn't know what I was doing then, and know even less about this new fangled stuff. I would have liked a...

    Can you add speakers to the stock Sync system?

    Read the thread, information overload for a novice like me. Also, I would prefer to not rework the whole stereo, just upgrade the speaker package if possible. CSC what do you think, can you 'splice' in more speakers?

    Can you add speakers to the stock Sync system?

    My 2010 with sync has always been a disappointing stereo, and my music preferences don't seem to help. I hate bass, hate it. I prefer the mids, and in order to get them I seem to have to drop almost all the bass away, and max the treble. This leaves all the sound seeming to come from the...

    Should I change the side graphics after a minor accident? Picture included.

    Indeed. I had an almost identical dent but without the broken light. The dealerships collision center pounded out the dent, repainted the side, and on my 2010 replaced the graphics. The graphics were 1000$ per sheet in Canada. Total bill for the insurance company was 5000$. I looked at trading...

    Speakers cutting out - fading each time the vehicle starts

    My 2010 with the Sony is starting to get on my nerves a bit with the stereo. Right from the get go the right side seemed weak. After a while I noticed that if I cranked the volume, suddenly it seemed like the right side came alive, almost like the speed compensated volume kicked in (a nice boost...
