[QUOTE="DriftwoodSVT, post: 16378419, member: 43348"] Well, 2.5 years later, this truck is about out the door. Nothing but problems with this engine. I'll summarize: First - timing belt tensioner. It was gone nearly a month while this issue was resolved. Happened around 14,000 miles or so. Second - charging system fault. Cable from the alternator to the fuse box worked itself loose on a trip from Texas to Arkansas. Bad timing. Third - wrench icon when driving down the highway. Went into limp mode. Replaced throttle body, air speed sensor and turbo boost sensor. Happened around 22,000 miles. Fourth - APIM went bad. Touchscreen stopped working, blue tooth stopped working, steering wheel radio controls stopped working. Took about 3 days to fix. Happened around 26,000 miles. Fifth - Check engine light. Crankcase pressure sensor had to be replaced. Happened at 34,500 miles. Sixth - Engine rattle on startup, again. Dealer confirmed it's the timing belt tensioner again. This started at 39,200 miles. I have an F250 Tremor with the 7.3L engine, 4.30 gears and the Ultimate and Sport packages on order, due to arrive on 3/27. As much as I like the looks and design of the Raptor, I'll never own an Ecoboost engine ever again after this experience. [/QUOTE]
