[QUOTE="PetoskeyRonin, post: 2000203, member: 47367"] Hey everyone, I haven’t been on in awhile. My Raptor has been sitting for well over a year. Backstory. Gen 1 was my dream truck. Bought a used 2010 with the 5.4 and about 150k miles. Decided to throw common sense out the window and started putting money in. The area in question is the motor. I decided to do a fresh timing kit. New melins oil pump. New plugs,new coils, new injectors (larger), new phasers with lock outs, full exhaust (headers back)…and put a pro charger on. Being in Northern Michigan it was tough to find anyone local that wanted to touch the motor. I ended up installing the pro charger myself, which was fine, I’m no scrub, however. The tune was a tough one. I found a shop out east, I’ll have to look back tho it was, but they set me up with “close” knowing it would need a bit more work. After the truck was put back together, it did fairly well as a daily, boost was about 8-9 lbs which was planned pre tune and I had found a guy downstate with a dunk that offered to work with the tune company to do live adjustments one day. (Never got there). Coming home from work one day I pulled up to a stop light and had smoke coming out my intake. Before things got bad it was parked. Full oil change in motor and procharger.
