Also, If a plastic grocery bag gets run over it can stick to the exhaust. It smells just like an electrical fire until it completely melts away…

I’ve been watching these discussions regarding the corrosion on the 2024 live valve shocks from the cheap seats. I wonder if all of the trucks sitting around waiting on quality hold were exposed to a lot of road salt…

Anthony, The best way to change the AC belt is to cut it off. You can then easily replace the main belt. For the new belt, you can use zip ties to install the new AC belt.

2 belts One from crank to AC One from crank to water pump and alt.

It also starts out I intermittently and will get worse over time.

It is waaaay louder from outside. Does it also start buzzing when you shift from Park to Drive?

With 100% certainty, it’s one of the live valve shocks. Super annoying but is covered under warranty. Gen 2 has this problem as well.

It’s the same, about 50K. If you keep your old shocks you can have a set to ride on while you have them in for a rebuild. That’s my plan as of now….

It’s the shocks needing to be rebuilt. Stiff ride is the first thing you notice after about 40k or so. Spent a good amount of time talking to Fox about this. As the seals wear and the oil breaks down ( Fox told me the oil emulsifies as wear occurs). This can also cause the solenoids to buzz as...

Finally got my Alcons installed. My Raptor is a 2020 so I installed the electronic brake kit from Alcon which is upgraded rotors and pads that reuse factory rear calipers. I also had crown stainless lines including on the rear axle (six brake lines in total). Once the pads were bedded, these...

Bad gateway module can do this exact thing.

Eric, I’m really sorry, but I still don’t think you understand SAE viscosity ratings or how VIs are used. The multigrade weight is not indicative of how much or how little is used. 5W-30 does not act like an SAE 5 when cold and but it is a SAE 30 at 212F. Its two completely different tests...

This is not totally true. Lower quality synthetics use tons of VI to get to the Target viscosity. The more VI used, the more it will thin out of original spec through driving cycles between oil changes no matter the brand. mPAO has a better Viscocity Index (vs POA base oil) and maintains its...

There has been no “SVT” since 2015…
