How could anyone call a mid pipe trombone a total bust? This alone makes it a winner. Congrats to all the future tromboners.

If anyone were kind enough to take a short vid of their truck doing the same thing it would put my mind at rest that it really is normal. Thanks.

So I recently got my truck back after service and now every time I shut it down after a long drive I hear a noise from under the truck that sounds like there's a liquid hitting something hot and reacting to it. It's not the standard noise of the exhaust pipes cooling, it'a a very noticeable pop...

Thats what they'll do and also the valve cover gasket.

There's apparently a service bulletin on this issue that says that the issue is a faulty valve cover gasket and requires replacement (not sure if it's just the gasket or the whole valve cover).

If this were consistent to every vehicle with this engine one could make the argument that it is symptomatic of this engine and stretch the definition of 'normal.' But this issue is obviously a malfunction that manifests only on a small percentage of vehicles. Honestly there isn't anything...

Are you suggesting this is normal?

Not my truck but if anyone wonders this is what it looks like:

Anyone ever determine what the root issue and fix are?

It is the right part.

Ugh, I guess I'll have to chase the right part with them tomorrow when I go pick up the wrong part. Thanks

This is the PN the parts dept ordered for me. Not sure why it’s called a capacitor but I’ll let you know if it gets me back to future.

I somehow lost my hat with hole in it and I need another one. :(

Hey Joe, sorry for the delayed response ... So the Llumar matte film has been good and bad. It does its job protecting the paint and looks great. The problem is that mine came from a defective batch of film, and had areas where the film had darker stripes. This was a widely reported issue...

Can't wait to see it. :)

So to clarify ... You do not do V8 swaps into Gen 2 Raptors?

That's what I understood, hence my warranty comment.

So it's not an EB to V8 conversion on a Raptor? It's a Raptor parts conversion on a V8 F150? The op said: "Yes, there IS a V8 Gen 2 conversion."

You question if a Ford dealer will do warranty work on an engine swap?

Alright, I gave it a try but time has run out to make this happen out West. The truck is getting shipped back to SC next week where it will live for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. Yes the front suspension, other than the adjustable SVC leveling collars, is stock.

SALE WITHDRAWN ——————————————— Truck is no longer locally available for inspection in the Phoenix area, it is about to reside in Charleston SC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright so I’m only tentatively listing this on FRF for now just to see if...

Found the thread http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f261/back-fire-59880/ I think the idea that it's exhaust related is mistaken, at least that's not how it sounds to me. The theory that it might be vapor recovery system related sounds more plausible, although I'm not sure how that would work...
