2024 Ford Ranger Raptor - dead!!

[chrisriner]

I had performance tune done not truck which was great. I then had weird rattling noises while cranking it first thing in the morning and of course that was cam phasers and got that take care of and now a short time after all this I am sitting in a parking spot with truck running and then it starts sounding weird and shuts off. I tried to start it like 8 times and it would just struggle and not turn over. I used ford roadside assistance to tow it to my dealer where I bought it and other work done today. My dealer called me and turns out need a new engine!!! - They said " 3 cylinders were not firing - under pressured etc - have to almost replace the engine - 3-5 days to get parts - 3 days or so to fix it"

I am definitely disappointed in a 2024 with 6,000 miles having issues like this but at least it is under warranty.

yikes. Don't know if this helps but back when I was working at Nissan sometimes programing the ECU wouldn't take right so I would have to reflash it. This was a long time ago, don't know if it applies to current gen cars. Same thing they would run horrible.

I would be suspect they screwed something up replacing the cam phasers and it jumped time and possibly bent the valves. The fact they said it's only one bank seems suspect.

Isn't the performance tune just software?

yeah - I doubt it has to do with that and I was suspicious of something going wrong when replacing cam phasers or maybe just a bad engine.

Damn.....Had 2 engines replaced on previous new Fords and know what it feels like. Takes the fun right out of it. Sorry it's happening to you too.

Did the dealer say anything about the procal tune at all? I assume they installed it as well?

I have the truck back and seems good. I asked about cause they said they don't know and did not even bother looking as they said it was a 2024 with 6k miles and engine went bad so just replace it and move on. I was disappointed as I really wanted some idea of what could have been cause. Guess chalk it up to a bad engine from factory I guess.

Please Make a cold start video of the new engine when you can. Just comparing from the last one you had With cam phaser issues.

I will try to do new video of engine start. Also Ford contacted me and offered to give me warranty after having to have engine replaced so I appreciated that.
