2024+ Ford F-150 and Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost Full-Race A0218A Shutter Motor Limiter Kit

Full-Race 2024+ Ford F-150 and Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost Shutter Motor Limiter Kit

Part Number: A0218A

The Full-Race A0218A Shutter Motor Limiter Kit provides a purpose-built solution for 2024 and newer Ford F-150 and F-150 Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost trucks requiring factory grille shutter removal for a Full-Race high-mount intercooler installation. When the factory active grille shutters are removed, both shutter motors can move without encountering their original mechanical stops, triggering fault codes and illuminating the check engine light. This kit provides a dedicated mechanical stop for each motor, helping prevent shutter-related fault codes without requiring a custom tune or changes to the engine calibration. Featuring aluminum limiter bodies and CNC-machined pegs designed for the individual upper and lower motor housings, this application-specific kit delivers a durable solution for a clean high-mount intercooler installation.

Key Features

• Designed for 2024 and newer Ford F-150 and F-150 Raptor models equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine.
• Includes dedicated limiters for both the upper and lower factory grille shutter motors.
• Provides mechanical resistance to help prevent shutter-related fault codes without requiring a tune.
• Features CNC-machined pegs designed for the different geometries of the upper and lower shutter motor housings.
• Constructed with 3D-printed aluminum limiter bodies and CNC-machined pegs for durability in the high-temperature environment behind the grille.
• Engineered specifically for applications requiring factory grille shutter removal for a Full-Race high-mount intercooler.
• Includes mounting hardware for both limiter assemblies.

Benefits

• Helps Prevent Check Engine Lights: Supplies mechanical stopping points for both shutter motors after factory grille shutter removal, helping prevent associated fault codes.
• No Tune Required: Addresses the shutter motor resistance requirement mechanically rather than masking the fault through engine calibration.
• Complete Upper and Lower Coverage: Provides a solution for both shutter motors in one kit.
• Application-Specific Fit: Uses dedicated peg designs to accommodate differences in the upper and lower motor housings.
• Durable Construction: Aluminum components provide an alternative to plastic brackets in the heat behind the grille.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty: Includes a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects for added purchase confidence.

Install Difficulty Level

Difficulty: Easy. The Full-Race A0218A kit includes dedicated upper and lower limiters and mounting hardware to simplify installation. Each limiter provides a mechanical stopping point for its corresponding shutter motor after the factory grille shutters are removed. No custom tune is required. An exact installation time has not been specified in the provided manufacturer information.

Vehicle Fitment

• Year: 2024 and newer
• Make: Ford
• Model: F-150
• Engine: 3.5L EcoBoost

• Year: 2024 and newer
• Make: Ford
• Model: F-150 Raptor
• Engine: 3.5L EcoBoost

Important Fitment Note: This kit is required when installing the Full-Race high-mount intercooler on a compatible 2024 and newer truck that requires factory grille shutter removal. Both shutter motors can trigger fault codes without the appropriate limiters. An Upper Shutter Motor Extension Harness is available separately for applications requiring the upper motor to be relocated out of the grille opening.
