The 3.5 HO is no longer offered for 21+. The Raptor will most likely get a 5L as that is the only logical offering from what showed in the engine...
Yikes... They are most definitely not. Plastic oil pans. Rattling cam phasers. These 3.5 ecoboosts are just not reliable engines. The 2021 lineup...
Did you get the CD part numbers for cams? That would be latest. Keep an eye on the oil pan. The plastic is prone to cracking and leaking. Ford...
Since you have a 2018, have you checked to see if you have the plastic or metal oil pan? Any rattle on cold start?
Yes, this IS an issue. Do your research before buying. The other site has a ton of first-hand experience with this failure, the multiple TSBs,...
Wait for it. Ford has redesigned the parts twice since yours was built and it still has the same darn problem. I am not a troll. I am just here...
You can't argue any of it. Everything I have stated is legitimate, well known information. You can keep your head buried in the sand.
You will want to get under the truck and see if you have the plastic oil pan or not. Ford changed to metal part way through the 18 build because...
Ask your service department about yet another TSB coming. The guy on the other site was going to get the info. Ford is telling people to drive...
On the other site, someone took their truck in for the cam phasers, and the service department told him that Ford advised them there is another...
You will want to get under it and see if you have the plastic oil pan or not. Ford switched halfway through the model year to a metal pan because...
I don't know. Scary part is that trucks with the newest design cam phasers (CD) are still failing. It is an inherent design issue with this...
Definitely unacceptable.
Be careful with timing this engine. Very likely your warranty will be voided. You will need it for the oil consumption and cam phaser failures.
The dealer doesn't warranty these outside the 1yr / 12k miles. Many have tried over the years for replacing, and nothing.
I would not do it. It has the plastic oil pan that has leak issues. Also, these engines have oil consumption issues, and cam phaser failures (cold...
This amount of oil loss is unacceptable. Never had that issue on the Gen 1, or other performance vehicles for that matter. If it were me, I would...
Don't level it in general. If you do, ride characteristics change, plus it actually makes the back of the truck lower than the front. Nobody wants...
I definitely would not do that on this truck.
You still have the problem. Oil type and filter type don't make a difference.... It is a part design issue in the system. New cam phasers are CD...
I am not sure you can even order a 20. Best bet is to wait for the 21 order list coming up soon. You will have new engines, so worth it to get the 21.
This has a very high failure rate among all 3.5 ecoboost vehicles. Sadly, it has been an issue on these since the original 2010. Ford has released...
Here is a link to the best info regarding this 3.5 ecoboost issue:...
Interesting read. IMO VW is the only company out there that could, and perhaps would, buy Ford....
Get it to the dealer and start the process. No amount of oil usage is acceptable. Do not let them tell you that. You most likely need the new...
Ever had the shocks looked at while you were in warranty? Have you had them rebuilt yet? These things usually only last about 50k miles and then...
Do you know what your build date is? I ask because Ford switched from the plastic oil pan to the metal one in mid 2018 due to all the cracked...
If I can get a V8 in a Raptor, I would compare it with the TRX to see which one I want.
Engine options look interesting. Also, C&D is reporting that the 5.2 supercharged engine will be in. We will see how it shakes out against the RAM...
Any need for the 1/16 weep hole in the intercooler? When others did that, the misfires went away, plugs lasted longer, and the cats were not...
You are not the only one. The valve covers were supposed to fix it. In your case, the engine is definitely hurt from what happened. Make a buyback...
You all will find out the 3.5 ecoboost nightmare eventually. This is a leading contributor for the $5B overrun on warranty for Ford. They are so...
Just take back to the dealer and let them deal with it. This platform still is not fully vetted out yet by Ford it seems. It's a shame that...
Ha - no envy from me. I will wait to get another Raptor when the v8 comes back. It is sooner than you think.
Is that the best ya got? I am sorry you made a poor financial choice. Ecoboost owners have nobody to blame but themselves.
Too bad that it will still have the cam phaser failure.
I did.
If you tune, you have a 99% chance of having warranty denied. Ford looks at the key cycles on the ignition and if it doesn't match the mileage,...
Are you saying your truck was low on oil?
You will want to keep an an eye on two things. Your 17 has a plastic oil that many had leaks with. Just monitor it for that. Ford reintroduced a...
The plastic oil pan leaking from cracks is a widespread issue across all f150 and expedition/navigator. There is extensive history of this, and...
The oil consumption is a problem... It was a bad manufacturing job by the supplier. I am not sure they know the amount of problematic engines, but...
Buy an extended warranty. That is your best spend as you will need it.
When your phasers fail, I will tell you 'i told you so'.
Probably an IWE that went bad. These things are failing pretty fast. Cheap check valves. Confirm by switching to 4x4 to see if it goes away.
Nice to see this is coming back. [MEDIA]
The proof is there - enough to where there are SSMs and now a coming TSB for the cam phaser issue. Ford only does that when they know there is a...
That is not a Facebook group. That is the original Raptor forum.... The same forum that made this one ecoboost people to come to. Many have not...
Stay stock - enjoy your warranty. You will need it.
