Raptor R Scheduling

[New recaros]

yes new engines

Was the cranks machined wrong and that’s why the seals were leaking or was it other issues?

Yes crank machined wrong for new style cover/seal vs the gt500

did they replace entire long block (with all new parts) or just replace crank and seal then reinstall?

Complete long blocks from what i was told. Far too labor intensive for parts change.

Oh, and i have located the R engine VIN.

This makes total since since most job1 trucks are sitting at the mustang plant ( flint mi ) right now… that must be where the engines are being replaced?

also

engines are being replaced at Roush. I gotta think about posting engine vins on the net. Easy verification but I am in process of getting info on a truck I know the engine was replaced to check the differences first.
Right now I have verified a known Job2 truck waiting on info on a known Job1 truck plus a bit more.

Anyone have a Code orange order they want to trade for a avalanche? the more avalanche trucks i see the more i regret not getting CO. wish I would have known it was only going to be a 1 year R color :/

Any further updates on this or has anyone seen any movement on Production Status over the last few weeks? Mine is still sitting in the "In Production" Status since January 27, 2023 with no update since February 9.
