    New 24', oil smell after driving

    Sounds like the engine is ready to blow or the tranny is locked into 4wd!! Maybe give it a little more time to get the new off.

    Can’t figure it out

    I once used aftermarket coils and still had the odd error code. Put the old Ford coils back on... problem went away.

    What just happened???

    Purge valve did not change anything for me. Still does it. But, if I put pedal to full throttle for a short sprint, it seems to straighten out and read fairly accurately from then on. Also is fine after I fill the tank. Still think that Prius i parked next to did something .....

    Your miles to empty is computer based on your last gas milage. If you towed it's going to be low. Mine is varying each time I drive. And changes.

    Still haven't killed power. I need to take it to my shop and disconnect the battery. I'll run codes, then disconnect the battery.

    Ok, another try to figure this out. I left home read out (miles to empty) was 2 miles for every mile driven. Got dow the road, petal to the metal, took up to about 90, full throttle. It reversed.... readout now .80 miles per actual mile driven. Stayed that way, gas guage seemed to be...

    What just happened???

    As I stated earlier, first it was 3 miles for every actual mile. At some point it reversed, 1 mile for every 2 actual. Lately it's been about .7 miles for every actual mile driven. The road to town has exact mile markers. Prior to all of this, it has been very accurate. Last time I...

    Purge valve did NOT fix the problem. Just drove to town and back, 20 miles, read out says 15.

    What just happened???

    For what it's worth.... used the Raptor to do some heavy lifting today. Pulled a heavy duty dump trailer with 2&1/2 yds of crushed rock. Almost 200 miles and none of it flat. Nothing around here is flat... Nothing unusual. I calculated the mileage at 10.9 mpg. Normal, guages read...

    For the cost, I'll give it a shot. I'll let you know if it works!

    What just happened???

    Not likely purge valve. Starts easily, runs smoothly as usual. The only thing that's been odd is the miles to empty readout.

    What just happened???

    The reading that's odd is miles to empty

    What just happened???

    It's nuts!! I don't drive the truck more than once a week if that. Filled the tank, took it out and instead of 3 miles per mile, it was 1 mile per 1.5 miles, the opposite. I guess it was making up for It's previous errors. I have noted that the continuous mileage monitor has always been...

    What just happened???

    I think a bad sensor, but not sure which one. No dash lights indicating anything wrong . Engine was running fine, no indication of excessive fuel. Popped the hood at the gas station to check smell or leaks. I can't see how the fuel Guage was dropping along with the gallons per mile. I also...

    What just happened???

    Raptor has been driven a few days ago, no problem. Was going to town and "mileage to empty 153 miles to empty". By the time I got to town it said 97. ... I went 9 miles! I was planning a 30 mile trip so I put gas in and headed out. Miles were dropping @ 3 miles per actual mile. I turned...

    What did you do to your Raptor R today?

    Gen 1 coils

    Who actually makes the Ford coils? Undoubtedly sourced

    Gen 1 coils

    Yes, ignition. Thought maybe someone had a good alternative. There's some name brand stuff that has possibilities. If they put their name on it, it's their reputation.

    Gen 1 coils

    My search kept bringing up raptor baby engines and coils. 6.2 coils, what are current best options. (I got burned using aftermarket on my Kowasaki, blew it's brain... expensive.) I'm approaching 100,000 and would like to change coils. Best place to buy?
