Hello,
I need to replace my 2018 Raptor motor with 111k miles due to what appears to be a bad oil pump. I see you are very knowledgable about Gen2 and Gen3 motors. I am planning on getting a low milage used motor. Should I get a Gen 3? Does it matter what year. Are there any problems I will find going with the Gen 3? Also while the motor is out and before I put it in should I change anything like oil pan or anything else? Thank you in advance for your time.
Hi Ted - this sounds like an interesting one.
1, The year of the engine will matter - and it’s still a good idea to refresh it before installation. Generally the late 2020 will have updated phasers and rockers/lifters but not the metal guides
the gen 3 engine can physically bolt up to a gen 2 truck. Wiring, computer, and fuel lines as well as downpipe, wastegate and turbos are all going to be a challenge. What is your skill level? This is possible although not simple
2, where are you located and what are you experiencing to believe it’s a bad oil pump?
