Well my Roush Raptor was nice while it lasted... ONE DAY!!!!

[Michaelkgorski]

Ya good idea. Should've got a whipple anyway. Haha I Jk! But really

I still scratching my head as to why their drilling a hole in block!!
I haven't heard anyone doing this to swap out a intake manifold.
Or heads for that matter.
Could someone please enlighten me.

And they don't even plug it up with something to keep the elements out!!!
Something's wrong with this, is that in the instructions if your doing a Roush install yourself?

That's what I am saying drilling a hole in the block sounds insane for a Supercharger install.
If that's what you have to do to install a Roush! Its one more reason to go Whipple?

I can't imagine Ford covering any truck under warranty with a hole drilled in the block!!??

 

[Yukon Joe]

No answer as to why they drill the hole?
I assume it is to supply coolant to some where? But why take it from the block? That is where it is the hottest.

I really do miss the Raptor. I've been looking to possibly get another one!!! (Just stock NOT supercharged) I did some research and the hole is drilled to allow water to drain from the manifold area.

Time for a new Rap

You are correct!!! I've been looking to either order a 14 or get a good deal on a 13. I have seen A LOT of raptors sitting on dealers lots.

how did you get 30 miles down the road

I ordered it from Ramsey Ford in Rising Sun, MD. They have been great about this. I'm just glad I was still on their dealer tag and did not sign any papers yet. I buy a lot of super duty's from them for my business. AWESOME guys to deal with!!!

with out signing papers.

you now have the right truck for you needs. i look at your pics this looks like a ford casting problem not a roucsh issue. so whats your take on the culprit.

there is another thread running concurrently concerning a stalling at low speed issue on the roucsh raptors. so in the end you have a better tow vehicle and duck the stalling issue. alls well that ends well
