Thanks for the feedback. I’m going to make an appointment for this week

You blew out your bottom hose on the jump. The clip in wherever you landed lol.

Just do a full coolant flush and don’t mention the jump to Ford. Doubt you melted anything plastic under the hood since it was such a short distance.

Thanks. Yeah nothing seems to be melted via visual inspection. I’ll take it in and have the fluids changed/flushed.

Aside from the coolant issue how was the Savage event? I'm thinking of attending these in the coming future.

It was awesome. Really great group of people. You can run as much or as little as you want. They had about 20 trucks there. Everything from fully built rigs to stock. I will definitely be going back.

Hi all -

Last weekend I was at a raptor event here in the northeast. It was at an off-road park where they set up a small 2mi course with a small jump.

On my second time out, a coolant hose popped off when going over the jump and dumped close to 3/4 of coolant out of my truck. Truck got hot and went into limp mode and I limped back to the pits to asses the issue. CEL came on and coolant temps got up to 265°. I’m not sure if ford missed a hose clamp from the factory or what because I’ve never heard of something like this happening to anyone. My truck is a 2023 with 10k miles on it and this was my first time offroad.

Luckily, someone else there had a spare hose clamp and I was able to refill with coolant, although motorcraft was not available. I plan to have the coolant system flushed next time I take it in for service.

I guess my question is - is my engine ok? I was able to get all of the air bubbles out of the system, and the truck runs fine right now. I’m just wondering if because I drove about 2mi (very slowly) back to a safe area with hardly any coolant in the truck if there may be any internal damage. Thanks for the feedback engine gurus.

Using the correct coolant is very important. Have what ever you put in there flushed out and then add the correct coolant.

Love hearing that. Think I’ll be going to the runs next year, I want to get a rear bumpstop kit installed first!
