I can't imagine owning anything but my Raptor. I've owned Toyota, Nissan and GM trucks in the past. The TRX looks great, but our family history with Dodge's poor reliability keeps me away from that brand. I'd keep looking and/or wait. The dealer I dealt with in Kent, Ohio was very fair...

Both are very cool, but I really like the side emblem. Where do you get something like that? Also, does anyone have a recommendation for custom hitch covers?

Awesome. Great pics! Thanks for sharing. I was lucky to drive those trails in a jeep with a buddy on the way out to Raptor Assault a few years ago. Until seeing your post, there's no way I would have been brave enough to take my Raptor. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get there again...

Picked up my Raptor today. I'm told it was a bad ground wire connection between the passenger side of the engine and frame. Hopefully, this is case closed...

Thanks everyone. I'll talk to the dealer service manager as advised and let you know. The owner is a good guy, so I'm going to give him a heads up to see if he has any solutions. And by the way, I ran across my original "oil change" invoice when this all started - this debacle started in...

In case anyone is still following this... the 4x4 error came back a week after I picked up the Raptor. The new transfer case did not solve the problem. The error, along with getting kicked out of 4A to 2 has only happened once in a week and a half, but this morning, I received the dreaded...

I had a similar problem right at 80mph with a lot of road noise, but I have 48k miles on my tires. Road force balance solved about 75% of the problem, but I know I'm due for tires coming up soon.

Good luck!

Sorry I'm tuning in late, but really sorry about what is happening to you. Screw your dealer! I agree with sending a letter to the dealer and to Ford - you can always start with one that cc's your law firm instead of going nuclear as was previously advised. A little more on my story - I...

I didn't get her back on Friday - the dealer is a little gun shy given some other issues they've had to solve for me over the past couple months - so, the service manager wanted to take extra time testing everything out on Saturday. Anyway, I wasn't available yesterday, but I did pick her up...

nice!

Thanks for the feedback. I hope both our issues are solved! My dealer sent me this pic yesterday. Hopefully, I'm back in my Raptor by the end of the day.

Initially, Ford denied the entire transfer case, so we waited for the parts. The dealer pushed again for a new transfer case because the bearing is back ordered into Sept. Yesterday, the dealer called to tell me had approval for the transfer case and that he thought I'd get her back to me by...

Helpful. Thanks!

The funny thing is that I've been told the transfer case is only going to take a few days, while the freaking bearing was going to take 2 months. This is the second time the dealer went after Ford to get the entire unit. I dropped the truck off on July 24th. We'll see...

Has anyone had any electrical issues with his/her transfer case after driving through a rain storm? I had some notifications on the console show up some time after driving through decent dump of water on the highway. I arrived at my destination about 20 minutes after I drove through the "big...

Well said!

So, here's the latest... 2 broken rocker arms (#2 and #3 intake), but timing is still intact. Not really sure what caused the problem, except as the supervisor said "it has to be more than coincidence that this problem occurred 900 miles after the cam phaser replacement." At this point...

Update: one of the VCTs is stuck; not sure about collateral damage; they've torn everything down and are still diagnosing the exact cause and other potential problems

Thanks for checking in. At this point, the dealer is saying all the right things in terms of taking responsibility. They called last night to let me know the truck had arrived - they had it brought up from Dayton to Cleveland, OH. They also told me that they would reimburse me for the rental...

Thanks for the response. I'll post more details once I hear from my dealer. They are having my truck shipped up here today (I think). Any advice or questions I should be asking? I'm trying not to completely freak out. Also - I noticed that I said "first failure" in my original post. There...

Unfortunately, I didn't even get a chance to post the details of my first failure (46k) before the second occurred at 47k. A couple weeks ago, I took her in for an oil change and mentioned the rattle. 2 weeks later, the oil change was finished along with the latest cam phaser update. I am...

Thanks!

Thanks for all of the great feedback. I'm seriously considering the Whipple Stage 1 Kit. Can anyone share any experience with how the tune affects weather mode? I drive between Cleveland and Buffalo a fair amount in the winter and don't want to sacrifice that mode in any way. Thanks!

I only have experience in this once, but I chose a dealer with an allocation. I received the DORA on 9/20, the day I placed the order. My '18 LF SCREW was manufactured on 10/16 and delivered to the dealer on 10/22. I had to back off on the BL's, but stuck with CF. The Dealer...
