Thanks for all the advice on my concern guys! My truck feels and sounds like nothing happened. Changed the oil, air filter, and no pooling of water the the pipes… hope I’m good

I found when I went through the 4x4 area at a local OHV park that the mud caked the underside of my hood. Every part of my engine compartment was covered brown in mud. Fortunately, no damage but I won't be driving fast in to deep mud/water going forward.

In a somewhat unrelated experience I noticed my 2019 raptor was not shifting properly after I went through the car wash. It turns out it must’ve been some water that got into my fuel system through the fuel cap that has the opening in it so you don’t have to remove it when you’re refuel. I came to this conclusion after I added a product called Heet to my tank and this seems to have fixed the problem. I called the local Ford dealer parts department and they said there are no screw on caps from Ford for my Raptor so I guess I’ll have to go after market so this problem is not recur. You may wanna think about such a cap yourself since I was rather shocked that going through the automatic car wash have this effect. I’ve had no luck finding a screw on cap for my raptor that has a retention ring so that I don’t drive off without the cap. Good luck

I just purchased one of these (before it went our of stock) and it works. Kinda finicky to get oriented correctly and actuate the lock cam but it should help with water in gas filler.

I just yesterday bought that exact lock for my 2020 Raptor and it did NOT fit!. Bummer since I did not have my truck with me I tried it on an F-150 in the dealer parking lot that looked similar and it fit fine. And the cap looked identical on the truck I tried it out on. My wife has a 2020 Lincoln also and it would not fit that one either even though all the caps look identical. (The parts guy said the filler necks are shaped so a siphon hose can't reach hence thieves crawl under and cut the hose between the filler neck and the gas tank.)
