    Would You Buy a 2024 Raptor Without Sunroof?

    I ordered mine with it, but its been mostly problems. Good news is no scratches from off roading on the glass you'd have on paint but I woudlnt order it that way again. I used to use it all the time, but i keep the shade closed mostly now anyway. The sun can just be too much, althought it...

    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    It took me a while to sort my Gen 2 that I've had since new and 100k miles. The new ones are nice but not interested in spending 90+ K to go sort a bunch more issues. So Gen2 it is. Sometimes the Devil that you know is better than the devil you dont'. I dont get as worked up about things...

    New member from Florida-Excited to be here-my first raptor!

    THere is quite a bit of stuff around Ocala and north of Tampa a bit. If you stay out of the swamp, its just nice and sandy for miles and miles.

    Yep, i did PPF on my truck, i dont worry about pinstripes now. I enjoy my time offroad more because of this. Good choice. Good news is you are in FL where the aftermarket crap coated bumpers wont rust out. Up here in MI, its a process of repowder coating them every so often. The aftermarket...

    So, i have some input, everyone comes and says what mods they are going to do, I think often without considering why they are doing the mods. My suggestion is go to run the truck, see what its capable of and see what may or may not make sense afterwords. Many people should work on the "driver...

    Upgraded 19' GEN 2 to 24' GEN 3

    What was your duty cycle, was it litterally nearly 100 percent freeway? curious for the cam phasers

    MY19 just under 18k miles, zero issues... wondering if I have a phaser "time bomb" that *will* go off some day?

    Depending on who you talk to this is debatable. I've been told the numbers are fairly low, but thats improbable because they don't issue Customer Satisfaction Bulletins for things that don't often happen. You may be better off having one of the latest phaser designs due to your production...

    Phasers - From the top

    Dont know how I missed your follow up. Ok so AutoSS always parks the phasers, Disabled at Idle sometimes but not always parks the phasers? Im going to send this thread to my buddy at Ford that did PowerTrain for 3.5 Raptor for a while and see what he may know.

    So.......anyone try these. I might have to.

    You are correct about the Catch Cans. Whats intersting to me is on the GT500 they install them at the dealer or the consumer can as they come in the car as part of the handling pack. They self drain to the oil pan. I also believe its on the dirty side (passenger), which as I understood you...

    yea Deavers make all the difference, but aftermarket doesnt understand corrosion protection thats for sure.

    Bed bolts spinning

    100 percent no. Ive reused mine multiple times. However, its been 6 years and when I did d-rings this year i put new ones in for good measure.

    So.......anyone try these. I might have to.

    I instantly discount any "mod" thats "how ford should have done it". Generally, those companies dont understand completely engineered systems. Thought to be honest thats most of the aftermarket.

    RPG or GJ Motorsports Third brake light in stock?

    Whatever light you get id put a good antisieze or corrosion x on during assembly(if its already assembled, pull it apart). I am in the process of trying to swap one of my lenses but aftermarket companies don't plan for dissimilar metals so I'm having trouble getting the screws out of the...

    Tailgate step install?

    If your going to offroad, the step is only added weight and increased stress. I ordred no step on my gen 2 for this reason. Usually when you see the tailgate seperation that bed supports are sold for its the heavier tailgate steps in the durablity trucks.

    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    Shocks can be non leaking and the fluid can be beyond its life. So this is only half correct. Your 65k shocks for sure need a rebuild. Are they ok, sure, are they performing the way they are intended. For sure they are not. I rebuilt mine at 54k and it made a huge difference, but they...

    Failed Sway Bar End Link

    Just did sway bar end links on the truck yesterday and thought I'd post up a video of the new vs the old that was worn and failed. No more "tuka tuka" as I go down the road anymore....... I know there are a few threads on this but I havent seen a visual so figured others may find this useful.

    Front end clunk - is this sway bar end links? (video)

    I just did my passenger side at 98k. Driver side was done about 30k, still seemed good. You really have to to have all the weight off the suspention to tell. Sitting on the ground you cant get the end links to move my hand. Maybe with a pry bar or vice grip as suggested. I just knew mine...
