what do they...better late than never!Finally received my shipped email this morning.
I am, mine just arrived by rail in KC, about to be unloaded off of the rail carrier. Just have to wait for a car carrier now.Out of curiosity... anyone else still waiting on theirs? Curious if I'm the last one...
Thank god...FINALLYFinally picked up my Badlands on 9/13 after 64 days in Transit.
Well, you DO have a Raptor coming... Which my wife saw as "too expensive" and "more than we need" - whatever that meansJust got my assembly line pic today.
9/20/22 UPDATE: So after 3 weeks, I just picked up my Bronco. Per the RO, they replaced all 4 cam phasers and related bits at the direction of Ford's Tech Hotline. This required engine removal. Upon removal, the tech noted that an oil gallery seal had been installed backwards, causing oil pressure loss & damage to the cam phasers (no metal in engine or other damage noted). They re-tested after reinstall & no noise. They then let it sit overnight & again, no noise. I reconfirmed this upon pick-up & also noted that, while the underhood appearance of the 2.7 is messy from the factory (hoses & harnesses EVERYWHERE), I cannot visually tell that they removed & re-installed the engine. I must give a shout-out to Santa Margarita Ford, very professional, courteous & kept me informed throughout the 3 week repair. Fingers crossed!!!So, I don’t want to be a buzz kill, but when I started it Sunday morning, I got what sounded like old school hydraulic lifter rattle for a couple of seconds, then it went away. Candidly, it caught me off guard. I turned it the radio & all seemed normal, so I drive to church w/ all systems normal & no sounds. “You’re just not used to it” I say to myself.
After church (~ 2hrs), it did the same thing. A clattering lifter rattle-like sound… then it went away. All normal driving, no weird sounds & all gauges normal (with their was an oil pressure gauge tho’).
This morning, I checked the oil level & it shows “full” on the dipstick. And it happened for the 3rd time, but seemed louder & lasted longer. Leaving work this afternoon was worse yet. Something’s definitely wrong… so at 1,019 easy, “drive like an old man” miles, I dropped it at my dealer on my way home.
Other threads indicate possible cam/VVT sensors, but nothing I found was definitive. I’ll update here (unless someone can point me to a better thread) in the hope that no one will need the info… ugh…
8/31/22 UPDATE: I spoke with my Service Advisor. The good news (?!) is that they did replicate the start-up noise. He advised that after consulting with Ford's Techline & running some tests, Techline confirmed that the cam phasers require replacement. I've found that other Ford engines, along with earlier 2.7's have had this issue, too. The repair sounds extensive & is internal to the engine, which creates concerns for other issues, leaks, etc... REALLY disappointing after just 2 weeks & 1,000 miles, so we'll see.
CongratsWell, finally picked mine up yesterday. There was definitely a bunch of dust inside the center console from it sitting for so long.
This thing is amazing though.
