i got mine from ford parts giant. They had it brand new for $640. I just checked and its $1200 now HL3Z-7A195-C. But, it may be worth shopping some of the big sites like that and cross reference all the old P/N's as you may find some old stock of a discontinued P/N.

So, I wanted to give everyone an update: - 2018 Raptor Control Module - Will not communicate with the 2014 computer, the connection is identical, but clearly something in the software is not compatible. So, at this point, I have the 2018 TOD with hi lock, but i can't actuate the hi lock with...

Long story, but i got time. Bought this truck from a dealer, it had a number of issues that needed fixed so i got a good deal on it. The previous owner is/was actually a member on here, so it was cool to see all the back story. Anyway, dealer must have done the plugs, didnt' tighten them...

We've seen this before . . . https://www.motortrend.com/news/2017-ford-f-150-raptor-to-go-desert-racing/ Not sure if this is another Ford involved Project or a tribute.

Just a heads up, i just replaced 6 coils on my truck: 2 initially from Napa 4 from Rockauto The napa units were OK, but not really that great. The 4 Denso units I bought off Rock Auto were OEM Ford parts (with the ford information Dremeled off). Truck ran much smoother with these 4 . . . and...

I guess i don't understand how a truck with 100k miles on it, if healthy, is different than a truck with 25k miles on it? I've seen a lot of high mileage Roush trucks for sale and they don't do anything special to the motor. I don't think i would be too worried about it myself. Just make sure...

Ok, update now that I have dug into this a little further. It is unusual that I jump into a project without having all the details. Additionally, I will start a whole new post once I have all the details of the installation and what is and isn't possible. But, i want to clear up some of the...

Here are the side by side pictures of the connector.

Ok, i was finally able to get to the installation today. I didn’t get it finished because I ran into a small snag. 1) The transfer case control module out of a 2014 F150 w/TOD worked on my truck. In stalled the new switch and was able to cycle through the 4 different settings (2wd, 4auto, 4hi...

These transfer cases aren't that smart, there aren't any electronics involved in the transfer case "kicking in". This design is using the equivalent of a limited slip unit like what is in a differential. It will transfer the power 50/50 up until the clutches slip thus allowing a torque bias...

I owned a gen 2 for a while, the 4 auto was nice. binding in 4wd comes from the different distances travelled by the tires as you move. On soft surfaces, no big deal, the tires slip and you don't notice it. On high traction surfaces, this difference causes the driveline to bind up until the...

I believe the low range is the same. I just purchased all the parts to make this swap on my 2014, I will post back once completed since i haven't seen a confirmation of this install on a raptor. I'm 99% sure it will work, but i'll let everyone know for sure.
