    GEN3 Forscan

    I’m surprised the R has any fake engine noise. Did you notice an audible change after making this mod?

    Anyone install IGLA anti theft device?

    I have the IGLA and Compustar T13 installed on my ‘23 R and have had zero issues with either system. I use the PIN code most of the time and yes you need to wait for the dash gauges to fully load before keying in the PIN. Then it takes about a second and you get two signal flashes with beeps...

    Official Raptor R PPF Thread

    If it’s a good shop they’ll get it on. The shop I went to told me the flares are one of the toughest to get right, but they did it. Then there was a little lifting on two of them after the first install, and they replaced it for free. It looks great. And there’s a warranty so they’ll fix it...

    Official Raptor R PPF Thread

    My flares are wrapped in Xpel Stealth and it’s just fine.

    Raptor R realistic fuel economy expectations

    My overall average since picking it up is 12.8 mpg with just over 5k miles on the truck. I just made a 300 mile, 4 hour trip here in TX (90+ deg and 90% humidity) where I had about 15mph tailwinds on the way up and the same headwinds on the way back and averaged 14.4 mpg with the cruise set on...

    Florida ravelco or other anti theft devices

    I guess everyone’s situation might be different, but getting a replacement R via insurance and having them cover the ADM, PPF and other add-ons, plus a stereo upgrade probably isn’t going to go well. Plus, I personally don’t like the 2024s as much as my 23, and I really don’t want to have to go...

    Florida ravelco or other anti theft devices

    Sure no problem. I have both IGLA and Compustar installed on my 2023 Raptor R. I have seen videos of the Revelco being bypassed and I’ve read about cases where Revelco cars have been stolen. I also prefer not having the fob receptacle thingy because I don’t want to have to look at it lol. Having...

    Florida ravelco or other anti theft devices

    I would wait for IGLA and Compustar, personally.

    Avoiding theft

    If you're interested in something other than Ravelco, Sound Evolution (on Westheimer west of BW8) carries IGLA. It's more pricey, but I went with it on my 2023 R because it's almost undefeatable (at least from what I've gathered from talking/reading from knowledgeable sources), and there are no...

    Official Raptor R Modification Thread

    Thanks for the detailed response and pictures. Everything looks great - nice work on those mods. I'll dm you if I decide to pull the trigger. And I guess it goes without saying that it's a shame these trucks didn't come from the factory this way.

    Nice work. I'm interested in hearing more about the door handle swap, interior lights (cup holder, etc), and the security pack. Any details you can share on what you did is appreciated.

    I just had full Xpel ppf and tint installed by Dynamic Autoworks in Spring. They do excellent work and had me bring the truck back in after a month to check everything. There were a couple of places they weren’t happy with and ended up replacing several of the ppf pieces at no cost to me. I’d...

    Sounds Good Stereo concern

    I'll second the praise for the SGS team. I handed them my R for a month to have the elevated system installed. I went up to visit them at their place and Sage spent about 2 hours with me explaining some of the intricate details of the build and listening to my music in the truck and adjusting...

    Feedback on your R's -- what problems have you experienced thus far?

    I had this happen and it turned out to be a dead bug right on the sensor. Cleaned it up and no more problem.

    Raptor R purchase would you do it again?

    Antimatter with no stickers. Such a clean look.

    how do you launch this truck?

    The R starts cutting power as you approach 108 mph to avoid exceeding the speed rating of the tires, allowing the TRX to make up ground. Otherwise, the R would continue to pull away.

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    I'm doing the glare free update and in the Livinitup spreadsheet, it says to change the APIM values, then perform an APIM reset in Forscan. Can someone please help me understand how to do this reset? Edit: Figured this out

    Best Raptor R (5.2 V8) Oil and Oil Filter

    See if you can find this on the stock Motorcraft 5W50, then compare it to Motorcraft 5W30 full synthetic, among others. In fact, I'd genuinely like to see 5W50 from any brand that has the API emblem.

    Best Raptor R (5.2 V8) Oil and Oil Filter

    There are a lot of discussions about Amsoil Signature not having the API certification. Amsoil helped create the API standards for motor oils back in the 70's, and they still have some API certified oils that they market. However for the Signature line, their explanation is API limits the...

    2011 Supercharged SC For Sale / 78K miles

    I don't have enough posts to put this in the for sale thread, but I've been around for a while and hopefully the mods will allow this (and move it to the right place) and not send me a sternly worded letter. Details: 2011 Blue Flame Supercab Whipple Supercharger Sunroof Just about every option...

    Best Raptor R (5.2 V8) Oil and Oil Filter

    I bought two cases of Amsoil Signature, so that's my plan when I eventually do my first oil change. I also bought several of the upgraded Motorcraft oil filters (PN FL2087). Interested to hear what others are doing.
