Hey guys
Here is how it sits.
I finally got the time after work to hook my raptor to a Snap-On scanner. I got the truck to operating temp and took it for a ride. On decel i saw the 2/2 sensor occasionally stick rich before going lean, when compared to the 1/2 sensor.
I called the Ford rep for my area and basically was told to **** up a rope until i put my factory exhaust back on. just like my purchasing dealer told me.
I know i was told that the o2 sensor was replaced from the dealer in FL but with seeing what i saw i Diagnosed the o2 to be faulty.
Since Ford wont help I decided to forget that my truck is BRAND NEW with a warranty and fix it myself. I purchased a new 2/2 sensor from my local dealer. I climbed under the truck and found a nice shiny sensor. when I pulled the o2 out i found some surface rust on threads. Hmmm. upon further inspection i found some mud that they forgot to "clean" from my "new" o2 sensor. I installed the new sensor, and cleared the code.
The truck has been MIL free for 2 weeks now. The longest its been out since it was "fixed" in FL.
I monitored the new o2 sensor with my solstice and everything is smooth now.
I LOVE my truck, I don't want anyone to think I don't. I have just lost all respect for Fords customer care, and there service. I know there are many Ford Techs on here, and they are probably great mechanics. Unfortunately I have seen many Techs through the years i have worked at dealers that don't give a F*^%, and I got them.
I will keep this thread updated for a further update on how Ford handles this matter.
