Update.... not a great one... Braptor been sitting at dealer in TX since 7/3. I've had 4 separate forecasts as to how long I'll have to wait for parts to get there, presently the most recent being that parts will arrive sometime next week. So yes, almost a month just waiting on parts this...

It'll get done eventually, and should be worth the wait. I'll keep ya posted

Ha! Exactly!

So update since last post... Took about 3 weeks to get the new parts and the raptor moving. It literally came home and got on a transport truck to go to Hennessey. They unloaded it, went to do their pre-build check and low and behold, guess what was leaking.... Sunuva.... So they took it to...

The VelociRaptor 500 upgrade, sans the 20" wheels and new tires. I'm not a fan of 20" wheels on my trucks.. The Badging, I assume can come off as easy as it goes on, if you don't want it once it comes back.... I have mixed feelings on it, so we'll see. It goes for a month of work over in...

You're absolutely right. I've got a garage floor half full of mods that need to go on, so I'll have some fun projects once it's ready. Also, Hennessey picking it up and taking it to Texas once it's back for a few small upgrades as well, lol..

Here's hoping that's the case. There's been no further updates since, it's starting to drive me crazy!

So far, the response is that Ford rolls the dealership"the part is in transit to the packager. Once the packager has it, Ford will get it shipped to the dealer". I'm not really sure what that translates into from a time frame perspective. They told me that Thursday morning, and haven't heard...

Thanks for the condolences, lol. We're on day 3 with no resolve, so I'm not real hopeful, but I will be opening a case with Ford today. Maybe that'll help...

Got it. On it now. Thanks for the info...

Sweet... you have tips for me on opening and escalating the case? Dealer is acting hamstrung, abs waiting on Ford, who hasn't even replied to them now 48 hours later.. I really don't want it to sit down there all summer.

Well, this isn't encouraging... Picked up my brand new Braptor Monday at 2 pm, had it spraying fluid in the first 5 miles... so it sits at the dealer, waiting for the backordered part. The tech said this was the 5th one he'd personally worked on for this issue. Hope it's not a multi month wait...
