Things to check after taking delivery

Wow, tough crowd.

Besides the “usual“ tape around the shocks and fuses not seated properly I just noticed my front driver side CV boot is leaking. 180 miles on the truck.

I know this isn’t a relevant topic but does anybody know if the raptor with 37pkg still fit in a 2 car garage? What I mean is it to high for it to fit in a normal car garage ?

Changed the engine oil today. There’s a cold place in hell for the guy that thought it was a good idea to package the oil filter where it is.

Noticed a trans oil line bracket was hanging loose. Looks like it retains the rigid oil lines going to the transmission pan. Easy fix, it’s a plastic Christmas tree retainer that pushes into a hole on the bottom of the trans. Pretty sure this is a different issue from the loose lines that were causing leaks (although I’m sure over time the lines could leak by moving and stressing the connections).

You are right. It is not relevant to this thread. Tell me what a normal sized garage is and I'll tell you if it fits.

Yellow card for an attempted thread-jack

Appreciate the list as it certainly hits a bunch of things that I probably wouldn’t have thought about checking. Went over mine and had the front shock plastic like everyone is finding but also found that the rear passenger glass is scratched on the outside (most likely from the dealer using a razor blade on it). So that sucks and will be interesting to see what the dealer does. Detailer has the vehicle now and is finding some finish issues that they think they can correct. Oh well, in the grand scheme of things, better than what some others are finding but disappointing.

Mine was loose too. I took this picture from slightly to the rear of the driver's side rear tire. It clamps onto a rod (or some type of line that I didn't take the time to trace...lol), and the top of the vent sticks up behind the wheel well.

I have an exhaust leak at both connections leading into the trombone section. I would just tighten them myself, but it looks like at least one of the pipes entering the connection may actually have a flat spot. Going to make an appointment.
