    DO NOT WORK with RMB

    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...

    Ram RHO

    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...

    GEN 2 Geiser's & Deavers +3HD or....?

    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.

    Commuter Car?

    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...

    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    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...

    Tips on cleaning exhaust tips?

    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

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    Yeah so keep it & in 5-10 years send it across mecum & you’ll get a nice chunk of change. The 90s/2000s stuff already going up in value

    Are there better options for pads and rotors then OEM?

    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...

    Garrett PowerMax Stage 2 Turbo Upgrade?

    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 ****...

    Garrett PowerMax Stage 2 Turbo Upgrade?

    I guess I’m not sure how much an issue the leaf setup is w/ big power, I suppose being in 4wd helps mitigate

    IWE on a 2020 Rappy

    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...

    Garrett PowerMax Stage 2 Turbo Upgrade?

    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...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    And going forward the diff fluid swap will be even more rudimentary! Lol

    Recommendations for Front hub and bearing for 2018 G2?

    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!!!

    Current '23 R Market Conditions

    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...

    What will be the last model year for this gen Raptor?

    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...

    What will be the last model year for this gen Raptor?

    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...

    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    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...
