Looking at Gen 1

[mchurch0211]

Yea now that’s a good idea

My 20 with mpt93prx tune is about 1.25 sec faster than my whipple jdm 700 up gen 1! It’s amazing what the little 3.5 ho can do with just a tune and intake

Damn that is amazing what that 3.5 will do! The 2018 is a local 1 owner also, so I like it’s history better than the 2014. Tomorrow is going to be fun!!

Crawl under and Check the oil pan on the 18! I think early 18’s had a plastic oil pan and mid year they went to a metal one! Also take you a infrared thermometer with you and 1st thing pop the hood to mal sure engine is cold! MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE SALES PERSON TO NOT START THE TRUCK UNTIL YOU DO! (This is so you can listen to the phasers on cold start!)

 

[WileyM]

Ok, I knew that about the oil pan but hadn’t heard about the phasers. What should I listen for on those?

 

[mchurch0211]

Also how many miles on the 18 truck?

 

[mchurch0211]

Will sound like a ratchet sound for a few seconds on cold start up

 

[mchurch0211]

FYI ford fixed the phaser issues with new parts mid 2019! The previous owner could have had the updated parts already installed

 

[WileyM]

Ok I’ll listen and ask about the new part install. It’s got 52,000 miles on it.

Also, if it’s got the plastic oil pan, would you definitely pass on the truck?
