The 2018-2020 Ford F-150, F-150 Raptor Service & Repair Manual is built for the tenth-generation F-150 platform and covers the standard F-150 alongside the Raptor, across all five available engines and both automatic transmission options. It's organized to take you through everything from routine service intervals to a full engine rebuild, with Raptor-specific hardware broken out separately wherever it differs from the standard truck.
This generation covers a lot of ground, from the naturally aspirated Duratec V6 up through the diesel Power Stroke and the high-output Raptor EcoBoost, and the manual is structured so you're working from the right specs no matter which one you've got. It's written clearly enough for someone doing their first brake job in the driveway, while still holding the depth a shop needs for a transmission rebuild or a Raptor suspension overhaul.
What's Inside the 2018-2020 F-150 & Raptor Repair Manual
General Information & Workshop Guidelines
Covers foundational service standards, OBD-II diagnostic link connector protocols, VIN decoding, lift and jacking points, scheduled preventative maintenance intervals, and fluid capacity specifications.
Engine Mechanical Overhaul (Gasoline, EcoBoost & Diesel)
Full teardown, inspection, and rebuild specifications across all five production engines. Covers the 2.7L EcoBoost's twin-turbo direct and port injection architecture with its compacted graphite iron block, the 3.0L Power Stroke's high-pressure common-rail injection, variable-geometry turbocharger, glow plugs, and DPF regeneration, the 3.3L Duratec's dual-independent variable cam timing valvetrain, the 3.5L EcoBoost's twin-turbo architecture with dual-stage timing chains and camshaft phasers, including the high-output Raptor tune, and the 5.0L Coyote's plasma transferred wire arc cylinder bore service and composite intake manifold.
Engine Performance & Fuel Delivery
Diagnostic pathways for Ford's port-fuel and direct-injection systems, high-pressure mechanical fuel pumps, low-pressure tank modules, electronic throttle bodies, wastegate actuators, intercoolers, and Powertrain Control Module sensor calibrations.
Emission Controls & Exhaust Systems
Testing and replacement procedures for catalytic converters, heated oxygen sensors, selective catalytic reduction and DEF service on the 3.0L diesel, EVAP canisters, and active grille shutter actuators.
10R80 & 6R80 Automatic Transmission Service
Bench overhaul guides for both transmissions, including torque converter clutch testing, planetary gearset clearances, valve body solenoid calibration, main control valve rebuild, auxiliary fluid cooling loop service, and thermal bypass valve fluid level checks.
Four-Wheel Drive & Transfer Cases
Service procedures for the electronic shift-on-the-fly and two-speed torque-on-demand transfer cases, including Raptor-spec units, covering internal clutch packs, shift motor actuators, and Raptor Terrain Management drive mode logic.
Driveline, Propeller Shafts & Differential Axles
Teardown, inspection, and shimming procedures for the front drive half-shafts, Integrated Wheel Ends, two-piece driveshafts with center support bearings, the Super 8.8-inch and 9.75-inch rear differential carriers, electronic locking differentials, and the Raptor's front Torsen helical gear differential.
Suspension & High-Performance Dampers
Service parameters for the front double-wishbone independent suspension, rear leaf spring assemblies, stabilizer bars, and standard twin-tube shocks. Also covers the Raptor-exclusive Fox Racing Shocks, including the Fox 3.0 Internal Bypass shocks and the electronically managed Live Valve active suspension sensors.
Steering & Electric Power Assist
Rebuild and replacement procedures for the rack-and-pinion Electric Power Assisted Steering gearbox, steering column intermediate shafts, steering wheel angle sensor zero-point calibration, and pull-drift compensation programming.
Hydraulic Service Brakes & Electronic Parking Brake
Component service for the front and rear hydraulic disc brake calipers, heavy-duty ventilated rotors, brake master cylinder, vacuum booster, ABS and AdvanceTrac stability modulators, and the console-switched Electronic Parking Brake service mode.
Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning
Troubleshooting for both manual and dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control systems, cabin blower motor service, blend door actuator calibration, AC compressor service, and R-1234yf and R-134a refrigerant charge parameters.
Aluminum Body, Cab & Accessories
Repair standards for the aluminum-alloy cab and bed panels, structural hydroformed steel frame rails, cab mount isolators, power running boards, tailgate step mechanisms, panoramic moonroof track alignment, and the Raptor's composite fender flares.
Supplemental Restraints & Active Safety
Disarming protocols, crash sensor locations, steering wheel clock springs, side curtain airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and calibration guidance for blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control radar alignment.
Why This Manual Fits the 2018-2020 F-150 & Raptor
The Raptor shares its basic platform with the standard F-150 but runs different suspension, transfer case tuning, and differential hardware, and this manual treats those differences as their own thing rather than lumping everything into one generic truck writeup. Whichever engine or trim you're working on, the procedures and specs are broken out so you're not guessing which numbers apply.
Format & Compatibility
Delivered as a searchable PDF you can download immediately after purchase. Works on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, so you can reference it from a laptop in the shop, a tablet on a cart, or a phone if you're under the truck and need to double check a spec.
