[QUOTE="ninjazed, post: 1496199, member: 12543"] Before you all start responding, “just do it!”, please hear me out. I’ve had my truck for over 6 years now. I have known about the much reported fuse 27 issue for quite a while and even got the Ford kit but always managed to kick this can down the road. I closely monitor the status of this fuse and the surrounding block area. Nothing has ever appeared out of order. Seriously folks, if my fuse hasn’t gone south yet, will it ever go at this point after all these years or will the majority say it’s just a matter of time before it goes? I’m not afraid to take on projects but quite frankly I’m not keen on partial disassembly and flipping of the fuse block to then cut, splice and solder wires. Farming this job out to a stranger is even less appealing. I’m also a member of the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” club. I take exceptional care if my Raptor and even took it to a dealer to have the transmission reprogrammed even though I was experiencing zero issues. Having any chance that the trans would lock up at highway speed didn’t seem like a good idea so I took the necessary precaution. But this fuse 27 thing.....what really makes some fail and others not? If it’s gonna fail is there a median time frame? Honest opinions or experience will be greatly appreciated here. [/QUOTE]
