lol- you paid someone to “build up”
Your 3.5HO Raptor engine? Well…you’re already a mark to start bahahahhahahaha. Downpipes, intercooler, **** injection, 93 octane tune. That’s all that’s needed or even worth doing. After that?? Buy an R or do an engine swap bud, otherwise you’re just gonna get...
Yeah- for me owning a paid-for 69k mile 2020 Raptor, as I approach 95k miles or so depending what happens between now & then if this RHO has same or better MPG as my current Raptor & these hurricane engines look like they’re holding up (& they really should- they put all their eggs in that...
Confused again here thought on my ‘20 doing the geiser 2.5” springs & deaver +3HDs would be the way to go to gain a little height while maintaining the rake then this pic throws me off b/c you’re running the 3” geisers w/ +3HDs & it looks like you still have some rake back to front.
I’m considering getting an integra A-spec w/ the manual trans as another vehicle, my Raptor has 69k miles & is paid off been putting too much miles on it (hwy mainly) & my weekly commute just burns fuel for no reason. Only thing is I already have a “toy” car in a built C5Z & my wife is closer to...
My truck has 69k miles now…original shocks, they do seem to still perform just fine & ride is comfortable & I have test driven new gen3’s not too long ago so I have same frame of reference & haven’t “forgotten” what these raptors should ride like
And for the price? Im definitely NOT rebuilding...
If they’re really nasty w/ tar specks etc I’ll spray w/ wheel cleaner & use a low grit scouring pad first but usually just Amsoil HDMP soaked on a rag to clean em & keep em looking dark, lasts a while too
I can report the power stop Z36 truck/tow brake kit does perform great on the Raptor, the ceramic pads that come w/ them have good bite & low dust, the slotted/drilled rotors seem top notch w/ some kinda corrosion resistance treatment to them & silver painted/clear coated hats
Paid under $500...
Keeps the engine clean as a whistle too, I have dual nozzle **** injection in my vette (into the aluminum intake tube before a bit ahead of the TB) I removed the intake manifold a lil while ago & everything was spotless inside, almost no carbon deposits - insane lol
I use straight VP M1 ****...
If they are making noise a lot of times it’s just a $20 check valve you can swap out yourself in 5 mins, I ordered a spare & keep it in my glovebox, but fwiw my ‘20 has 68k miles & no IWE issues to speak of (& I use 4HI/4A a good bit…not sure if that would increase or decrease chance of IWE...
I don’t wanna be Debbie downer here but knowing the gen3 Raptor has coilover rear & more range/quickness of the adaptive shocks….would it be wiser to consider cutting ties w/ the gen2 instead of upgrading turbos & start new build on a gen3 that would/should be able to put the power down way...
Finally installed this rear rigid spreader light kit from SPV, have the red halo effect on aux 6 & the main white spotlights on aux4 - now all my switches are used up lol!!
Also installed a replacement tailgate assist strut & swapped out the tailgate light bulbs for LEDs
Truck has 68k miles on...
This is somewhat accurate, some moog parts are still quality just sourced from different locations, timken bearings made in S Korea are same quality as those built in USA- I’ve been to the factory!!!
You have a point here, except that last statement there is something I’m not so sure of…& i own a BTC (yep- 1 single coin lol)….i think the potential for govt issued crypto globally & collectively govt’s fondness for effecting currencies on THEIR terms will ultimately dampen the widespread...
If they did it w/ the Eray corvette then they sure as sh*t can make a case for a hybrid off-road truck even if it adds some weight I’ve been all over the EVs & the nonsense story behind them form day 1, I know if intimately, work in the industry myself. BUT a non-plug in hybrid like the Eray is...
In the “modern” era (10th gen F150 from ‘97 on) Ford has gone anywhere from 5 to 7 years in between redesigns, last gen was 6 years - do we expect this current generation F150/Raptor to go through 2026 or do you think it may run out to ‘27? Seems like it was a fairly heavy redesign particular...
Im at 66k miles, my maintenance has been as such (I plan on keeping for 120-150k miles)
engine oil every 5k
Rear diff every 15-20k (have a performance diff cover w/ makes it easy)
Front diff/T-case every 30-35k
Spark plugs every 30-40k
Engine air filter 2x a year
Cabin air filter 1x a year...
I don’t know if you read my post correctly- I’m saying I’m not bothering w/ the Fox factory adjustable 3.0s @ that price point w/ the mile on my truck & if you can get NEW Fox OEM live valve shocks for around $2200 all 4 corners then I also don’t see why anyone would go the rebuild/swap route...
