After the gearbox has upshift was fixed I have been meaning to remove the Oman Hack, the switch was down near the park brake and I had knocked it once on the 311 😳 car slammed back into 3rd and engine check light lit up.

Don’t want that to happen again so finally got around to removing it today.

Good thing you removed it…. It’s called a hack for a reason and was never a suitable option. Unless you like driving around with CEL on 😅

Did anyone managed to solve this issue?

thinking about installing a switch on the up shift signal between the ecu and the transmission and to open the circuit once goes off road.

is it doable?

I solved the issue buy selling the Pajero and getting a Gen 1 raptor with with a worked 6.2, no more power problems 😂,

just problems with a empty wallet keeping up with the repairs 🤬

Out of interest, what is your general review after driving it for a while?  Would you say the F150 Raptor is proving to be ageing unreliably? Or bad luck with the worked engine?  

Reason for asking: really want one, love the V8

Hi mate, to be honest it’s actually doing better than I thought, I do drive it hard and have done about 60k on it in the last year, parts are fairly easy to get, massive following in the states if you need information. With a mild tune it’s making 483hp, uses less fuel than my Pajero on the highway, 

Love this car, only car I have had that I still look back at every time I get out of it, definitely not as polished as new cars but it’s very honest.

Thanks for your swift reply!  You’re selling the concept

It takes a bit of searching to weed out the abused ones and to self-justify as it will be an extra car, not a daily driver.  On the upside, that means it will not rake in much mileage. Good for keeping maintenance cost in check.

Thanks again!

No worries, I would make sure you get one of the later ones 2013-2014, finding one that hasn’t been abused will be difficult. 
That v8 at full noise will make it all worthwhile though 🤣
