so trucks that were built AFTER the infamous winter logistics parking lot fiasco suffer from this, too?! ...smh

There is no coating, so it doesn’t matter when it was built.

trying to figure out which trucks were affected, is it all of them?
In post #16, Antho posted a pic and said his were coated...perhaps Ford sent some with this defect and some without?
I'd like to see if other owners are receiving their trucks w/anodized solenoids & w/o corrosion.

That’s the only one I’ve seen that isn’t excessively corroded. Interesting… But it definitely looks like it is not coated, at least to me.

I want to level my front end, but this corrosion issue has me holding back. I don’t want to mod the suspension if Ford decides to replace them down the road.

@BBLV Im in the aluminum and glass business. Mine are for sure not a bare aluminum. Not to say there isn’t an issue as there clearly is. Regardless, something is wrong.

I just picked up my 2024 shelter green Raptor a few days ago. Love the truck so far and shift smoother and rides better than my 2017. However, I spent some time detailing it over the weekend and I noticed that three of my four shocks seem to have some corrosion on what looks like to the electronic valve area. It will not wipe off. And I do not want to send it. I was considering painting it but is this common on a brand new truck? Will this come back? My old 2017 Gen 2 did not have any corrosion at all on the shocks even after 6 years.
Thanks,

Thats crazy and a 24, maybe when they washed it?

I think if anything they’d replace just the solenoids. The SDi top hats perfectly level the 24Rs.
