I appreciate the info. Who would of thought, I'm back to the waiting game with Ford once again...

Thanks Machsmith! How do you like your raptor so far? I just saw one for the first time this weeken and they look pretty tough.

Just ordered one

I didn't post any of my findings to upset anyone. I'm actually only on here, like most any other forum, to get real life information from the few people who share a common interest as me. The master tech tech told me that he took note to 4 engines available at a Ford parts depot when mine was...

Just got the car back today. Seems to drive fine, sounds great. I just don't feel the same about the car now that the motor has been replaced..Anyway, they told me Ford had 3 additional motors when mine was sent out. Yesterday when they checked all 3 motors are gone. Sorry for any of you that...

buddy of mine just sold his 16 R in yellow at the manheim auction yesterday for 73k. I think it was just under 1k miles

ok. now i want a black raptor. looks super tough brother. nice choice in wheels

They are right. My ASM told me they transferred the badge from the original motor to the replacement motor.

On a side note, the new Raptor looks super bad ass...probably a bad idea, right?

So I stopped by Ford dealership today to check on car. The motor is in, but the Master Tech that does my work said they are still waiting for new Oil lines. He didn't want to risk reusing the originals. I thought that was a good idea on his part. Also, he said that 4 of the 8 coils that were...

I'm glad to hear everything is good to go now! What an experience...

Just got off phone w/ Ford service. Motor should be here tomorrow and car might be back to me Thursday. I can't believe how fast this all happens. He told me that they were surprised as well but the NY parts depot had 3 motors, mine should be here tomorrow morning.

So you would pay the same for a gt350 w a replaced motor compared to one that was never touched?

I live/work in PA very close to the Manheim Auto Auction (biggest auto auction in the world) Every car that gets traded or sold in the area have Carfax and manheim reports pulled to base a value. Selling or trading a car that shows that the engine replaced at 2k miles will certainly have a...

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'll try to keep my status updated here as I learn more. It sucks because this car is SO badass, but I'm not sure I will ever be confident in Ford after this. Yes, the oil level did seem to decrease over my 2k miles, I checked after almost every wash. No, it...

After reading all the horror stories and hoping it wouldn't happen to me...Just found out that the motor in my 17 will prob need to be replaced. Car is 3 months old with 2300 miles. Since ownership I've had two visits to dealer because of check engine lights, had all 8 ignition coils replaced...

I plan on daily driving this car for as long as I own it. I have just over 2000 miles and took delivery end of Oct. I've been driving my Toyota recently because of snow here, but it's a fun daily driver. Spring can't come soon enough though

Got the car back the next day and it's been fine since. I've had a chance to take it through the RPMs and no lights. I'll keep you guys posted if anything else happens.

It would have been bad news to own this car in my 20's. I'm 35 and still want to drive it like a hooligan every time I push the red button
