Auto start/stop removal

[CrustyNoodle]

My Raptor has the auto stop/start disable button and you know what... I never use it! I just let it stop when it wants to and it is not a problem at all.

Unless you are seriously afraid that it is going to have catastrophic implications to longevity of your engine/starter/battery then I just don't understand the obsession with disabling it.

I just got my order schedule email today, XLT, I looked up the order tracking status and also looked at the build details on the webpage. It does show in the "Accessories" tab: "Auto Stop-Start Removal", even though it wasn't an option available on the B&P or on the dealer order sheet. My guess is supply chain issues with providing it, but could be an error or something else.

Our Raptors all came standard with auto start/ stop feature with a button next to the transmission gear to disable it.

Defaults back to "on" after every key start along with a few other safety features which is slightly annoying.

Fortunately it's way too hot here so the system never actually turns the vehicle "off" during stops.

Guys.. what is the update on this?

Anyone did this using Forscan?

We have two Ford Ranger PanAmericanas ...and you know, we have to disable the autostop THROUGH menu(!).

Plain horrible.

you're really a mechanical engineer?

If you hate start/stop then don't get a Powerboost F150. Ours starts stops going down the road. You get used to it after awhile. No button to disable it either. But that would kinda defeat the hybrid. The start/stop might be nice in drive thru's though.

Here's a window sticker for a new Raptor. No mention of start/stop removal.

That's not the same thing, that's your truck switching to electric and doing some regen.

If mine has ASS, the first mod I make will be to defeat/remove it. Ford is not paying me for the wear/tear to my engine, starter, and battery so they can claim an extra .001 MPG on their CAFE standards.

The worst thing you can do to a motor is start it.

So does the Raptor have it or not. I personally hate that feature, I want my truck to always run.

The new Ranger Raptor 2024 has a button on the console you have to push every time you start the truck. I know I have one.

Auto Start/Stop has been removed from every Raptor. It does not come with it. There is no rule that says a car has to have it either.

There is likely no way to add it back in. It’s likely removed due to a parts shortage. That’s means the parts won’t be there to enable it. You’d have to find the parts and install them yourself. And since no Raptors have those parts, they probably aren’t even anything you can order. It would likely require reprogramming which someone would have to figure out. That’s not likely, so just know you won’t have Auto Start Stop, and assume you won’t be able to add it in the future.

I don't know why you would say its been eliminated. I just got my 2024 Ranger Raptor and its definitely there. And it annoys me every time I stop!

I got my wife's Ranger Raptor April 10th and it has it on there as well. I might try this hack on Amazon. I guess it tells your computer your hood is open so it wont shut off your engine for some reason. I just looked under my hood for the first time (man is it hard to shut) and found the plug that I think this hooks up to right behind the hood latch. There are other things on Amazon that attach the same way in different areas of the vehicle but this is what came up for our Ranger Raptors. If you happen to do this before me, let me know result. I'll do the same.

I just ordered another Ranger Raptor for myself last Friday. Man are these things fun to drive!!!

Because you're quoting my post from 10 months ago when no one had seen or touched it yet?
