650 miles - CV busted - normal driving all on road.

I don’t want a lemon law - I just want my truck to work.

They have me in a bs rental. I’m going to tell them I need a rental of similar type. I’m in a v6 convertible mustang with 30k miles. Hardly a comparable car to my raptor.

This guy just doesn’t listen and obviously has never dealt with an off-road truck. Your truck works and there’s no reason you can’t drive it until the axle comes in. Not sure how many people you want to tell you the same thing. Geez!

I had a couple month wait for the axle. I super glued the the crack in the rubber boot, then a bead of silicone over the top. Drove it until they got me a new one.
Not a chance for lemon law over a leaking boot and your truck is drivable.

What would be comparable? Another Raptor? They are not going to take a new Raptor and let you roll around in it for 2 months while waiting--sorry. The rental is coming from dealer not Ford.

Like others said -- your truck 'works'--you can drive it home from the dealer today but you won't. Fine, then take what they give you as a rental and wait. What are we all missing here?

This is a funny thread. I don’t mean to make light of it. Just sayin. Some here say they ran trucks for many miles with torn boot.

Heck, I owned a 2009 Yamaha 700cc Grizzly. I sold it in perfect working condition in 2019. Used it for trails and snow plowing.

And I NEVER, EVER, not even once changed the oil or anything else for that matter. lol.

Little duct tape and zip ties is what you need!
the repair lasted 400 miles of prerunning for the Baja 1000 plus the drive back from La Paz!

I witnessed some crazy sh it cross the finish line over the years. Like a ProTruck with a radiator leak that had kibble (dog food) poured inside it to slow the leak. "It ain't crazy if it works"!

update - dealer says parts should be here tmrw - ford redirected from somewhere - and that they expect it to be fixed by Wednesday / Thursday.

Truly hope this is accurate.

@Raptor37noadm just the boot ? axle should be fine.
