if someone can take a longer video. hard to tell with just 4 seconds. would like to hear something more substantial. Please so far from just that video its not like mine.
I tried, wouldn't let me upload a longer one.

I tried, wouldn't let me. Only does it over bumps and uneven surfaces, other than that, rides like a dream and is quiet. its kinda like a subtle clunk, its not loud like metal to metal.

What the hell going on with these trucks?

Mine is good now that I had to buy a replacement shock but if another one acts up and there is no aftermarket shocks available, this thing is getting dumped.
Im hoping its a shock on mine, started around 5600 miles, just out of nowhere, how many miles before yours started clunking and how many miles since?

Jesus - 36 pages about a clunk? Hell going on in here?

If I buy anything brand new and it clunks, I'm driving immediately right back to the dealer and say you can keep this horseshet or fix it with an extended warranty ASAP.

All of my shocks clunk - as they have all on my last 2 raptors (gen 1 and 2).

The severe rear shock issue that I had started at about 13 miles. It wasnt the basic annoying clunk that you hear and feel in the floow, it was a loud bang bang bang at the same rhythm as the clunks but was super extreme. Like someone was hitting the frame with a hammer.

I really like everything the truck but cant wait for a better shock setup to come to market.

Ahh gotcha. Ive heard/read those noises too, mines the subtle clunk that recently started and thats why im hopeful its a simple fix lol. Its def not the metal to metal clunk for me.

Haha. That won’t work with Ford. Ford despises it’s customers. Unless there is a CEL or safety recall, we are on our own. It didn’t used to be that way.

I just heard from RPG, they said we should be able to disable LiveValve in Forscan. He wasnt sure how but this will be interesting to figure out. Goal here is to disable it so I can get what ever non clunky shocks I want and not be tied to this seemingly gimmicky noisy system.
