Hey Ivan, Have a Ranger sound system question for you man - I own two Ranger Raptors (for the moment): a 2023 & a 2025 that I just picked up. (Here is Dubai the 2023 is the first year of the ‘Next Gen’ Ranger - similar to Australia, South Africa, Thailand, and other countries outside of North...

Update: Apparently the metal grinding noise was coming from the transmission. They replaced the full assembly under warranty (at 52.5k km/32k mi) and the noise it gone. Not very mechanically inclined, but there was metal-on-metal scoring, worn out bushings, and too much play in the gears.

I see your eye sight’s at 20/20! That was gas station’s air compressors acting up when I was re-inflating the tires.

Can’t check either as the truck is still at the dealership as they try to get to the bottom of it. I made sure to do a test drive with them to replicate the noise so they can’t come back with their BS of “unable to replicate” like they did 2 months ago. It’s gotten significantly worse since then.

M Could be, man, I honestly have no idea. Unfortunately for me; neither does the dealer. The best way I can describe it is a sound like a handful of small metal particles being spun and bounced around inside a metal tube as air rushes in (lifting foot off the gas).

That was my initial thought too, but dealer says it’s not the turbos or the wastegate. I can only assume they tested to make sure all the hoses were tight. It doesn’t make the noise when it’s in park so cant test with the hood open.

Definitely not normal man, the video doesn’t quite do it justice. It’s gotten progressively worse over the past 2 weeks and the truck felt like it was going to come to a stuttering stop at one stage as it rumbled.

It’s the metallic noise/rumbling you hear when I take my foot off the gas. No BOV, no engine mods. I thought for the life of me it was the DS turbo dying on me. According the the dealership, turbos and wastegates were tested and are fine but they haven’t been able to find the root cause yet...

Yes, they’re for pop out cup holders.
