Definitely smells like oil.
Dealership called and said they are replacing both heads. They have one in stock and the other will be delivered on Monday. Should have the truck back sometime next week. Ford dragged their feet on paying the bill, but finally agreed to it.
I know very little about engines and was just stating what the service manager said. He called me today, and said they are waiting on Ford to approve the repair. He mentioned a valve stem leak and oil in the cylinder.
Hopefully will be fixed in the next week or so and I can post the cause.
Hey all, I promise I searched and didn’t see any discussion about this issue. I have a 2018 with almost 89k miles. I have what seems to be somewhat common of smoke coming out of the exhaust after idling. I brought it to the dealer and mentioned I thought it could be the turbo seals. They checked...
You’d hear a clunk sound every time you hit a bump. You shouldn’t hear anything, and I had read on the forum the links are a likely suspect.
An easy way to tell if they are bad is to climb under the truck behind each front tire and give them a hard pull. If they move, they are bad. Could...
Sorry for the late response. They are OEM, and found them for sale from a Ford parts dealer on eBay.
Just got home from a 900 mile round trip with the Raptor. I’ve only had the truck for about two months now but I’m extremely impressed with it. The ride was smooth and the drive was enjoyable.
Washed both the Raptor and the Wife’s Bronco. Also ordered a dash cam on Amazon that should get here tomorrow. It’s pretty nice having a distribution location nearby. I’ve gotten stuff delivered same day before.
I’ve read up on the forum on different ways to hard wire the cam. I’m either going...
Okay, I lied and went back and installed the Cobb OEM+ TCM tune and took it for a drive. It felt exactly like stock except there was zero hard shifts felt in the truck. I know I’m preaching to the choir but this is how the truck should have come from factory. Love it!
Installed Cobb AP with Goosetuned TCM. I went with the 93 Oct tune from Cobb and the difference is night and day.
I’m on the fence with the TCM tune at the moment. Prior to the flash, my trans would shift harder than normal from 4-5 and sometimes from 3-4. Otherwise it’s smooth. Now with the...
Got to love this forum and the wealth of knowledge that is saved here. I've been hearing pinging noise which sounded like it was coming from underneath the vehicle. I watched some videos and it doesn't sound like Cam Phasers, but it definitely sounds like the waste gate. Going to lowes tomorrow...
Did the first wash on my new to me 2018. I was surprised to find out that it was ceramic coated last year. Pretty easy to clean since it has been coated.
I'm in the same situation when it comes to looking at ESP on my 2018 with 84k miles. I haven't noticed anything wrong with it so far, and it looks like the only prior owner has taken extremely good care of it. Though I know you're rolling the dice when buying a higher mileage vehicle. If it were...
I’ve only had my 2018 a week and a half so I really cant answer this. Though, this truck is the nicest vehicle I’ve ever owned.
I bought it as a one owner, and the prior owner took good care of the truck as it was ceramic coated and looks like the frame is protected as well. I didn’t see much...
I’m going to sound like a boomer but I honestly prefer a physical button to a touch screen. I’d much rather reach for a button to press than take my eyes off the road to find it on a screen.
Updated my Sync3 from the old 3.0 version to the new 3.4x. I haven’t seen a huge difference yet, but I definitely prefer the blue theme versus the white.
