The launch of the 6.2 L engine (996) on the F-150 Raptor has been changed to 3/1/2010
6.2 L Raptor scheduling will begin in scheduling week #6, 2/11/10
The remaining Raptor allocation for February scheduling (weeks#3-#5) will be filled with 5.4L Engine Raptor orders"
This is the memo my dealer e-mailed me regarding ordering a Raptor with the 6.2L engine. He said the SVT team are working/testing transmission problems as a result of this engine.
It does suck. But, better to find the issues now instead of after delivery. And, when the 6.2L makes to the rest of the F-150 fleet, Ford doesn't need these headaches and subsequent recalls and warranty claims.
I say, good job Ford for identifying this problem before hand.
