You can try checking below the bed, above the frame rail on I believe the passenger side. There’s a cast iron damper that’s there that the bushings get blown out on. When I find the picture I’ll post it. I cut the bolts with a sawzawl and bust barely got it out without having to lift the bed...

I would not want to be the guy to mount the tires up on the those. The fear of scratching them!!

^^ this is why when the end of the world happens, these dudes will survive. We nearly killed each other over rolls of toilet paper during Covid…

SCAB for the win! Nice truck.

Head over to the White Wash Sand dunes redecoration area. Lots of cool roads to rip down on the way out there.

See how small the axle nut is compared to the lug studs?

Yes, the torque# is quite low. It’s a small nut that effectively holds the outer bearing which is tiny and not the major load bearing. I too replaced the sway bar end links and eliminated most of the noise. Once that was gone I realized it was wheel bearings. Front end is silent now. When I put...

If it’s tight and you can’t get it started, spit on it.

Cut the blown out tuned mass damper off. If I didn’t have a 1/2” gear wrench I’d still be under there covered in metal shavings.

On the ford performance diff cover, The bottom fill plug is the one to use. It will require +1 qt over standard. The top fill plug is for weird pinion angles due to lifts or other weirdness.

Check your raptor supplement manual to make sure it’s the same. This is for a 2020 with the Torsen front diff. Front : 2qt of 75w85 Rear: 3qt of 75w85 T-case: 2 qt Mercon LV I have the ford performance diff cover so I add 1 qt. Don’t get anything with a friction modifier in it.

@Res4cue That, is incredible. Very nice, there when you need it, nobody’s any wiser when it’s all closed up.

Thanks!
