If your anywhere near NC your always welcome out

Planning an OBX trip next year! May have to hit you up!

Well, got rid of the f150. At 72k miles I had the motor opened up twice, front and rear suspension replaced, electrical issues like crazy. I traded it on a 19 Ram 1500 with the hemi and 3.92. Almost 1800 lbs payload, leveled using 5100s and new UCAs, power steps, bakflip (will be selling) etc…

Wow, what issues did the motor have?

Cam phasers and then after the second one it would still get a god awful death rattle sometimes

So, whats the deal with Fords Cam phasers?? is it still a issue on the new trucks?

Cam Phasers are a small issue on all vehicles that use them. Ford and BMW have been the worse, but we see very few issues on newer Fords unless the customers don't do proper maintenance. I can tell you if you change your oil every 5k, chances are you will be fine.

Poor quality oil, poor quality filter, poor oil change intervals, mediocre material choices.
There are low km breakdowns which kind of suggest a design flaw, but when do we ever see the entire picture in detail?

And unfortunately, the manufactures with the stupid maint intervals of 10k are making matters much worse.

Total anecdote from the GEN2 Raptor: total randomness. Feels like it's a manufacturing defect or something inherently flawed with the design. I've seen guys who are on top of all maintenance have then go out on them. I've seen guys who abuse their trucks have no issues.
