Figured I'd bump this up since I got the truck back from the bodyshop and got the Morimoto smoked tail lights installed to replace the Alpha Rex tail lights. Besides potentially installing underbody/rock lighting would there be any other suggestions that I should be looking at?
Hey guys! Since I finally have the truck back from the bodyshop I'm currently going through and getting some upgrades done before it goes back into storage for the winter. Here's what I've currently got:
OEM Sony sound system setup
Tesla-style 14.4" head unit (Android 13, 8GB RAM, 128GB ROM)...
Decided to just trash it. The amount of messages I've gotten asking me if it works, how to fix it, and how to install it aren't worth my time anymore, plus I doubt anyone is going to be happy with it compared to the newer units available, or having to use a mouse to run it.
Door handles and tailgate handles are gone, decided to just junk them since they were pretty faded and worn, plus I don't know anyone who goes from paint matched handles to textured handles.
Purchased this unit from a seller on Aliexpress with the guarantee it was for a 13-14 Sync 2 truck, but after attempting to install was able to figure it out it is not. Unit is listed as fitting 13-14 F150, but the harness that came with it looks to fit a Sync 1/"base" radio truck as there is no...
Recently pulled from my 2013 when I upgraded to the 14.4" Android 13 setup. Only works for 13-14 Sync 2 trucks, originally purchased from Phoenix Automotive. Besides the touch portion no longer working this unit works excellent, has all the updated custom firmware, has an anti-glare screen...
Based on the rotor size I would imagine that they are a specific fit made for the truck to clear 17" wheels and calipers. The pads though probably don't need to be Alcon specific, since a lot of the brake manufacturers will use various calipers on different vehicles. You would need to ask Alcon...
Sure, but if the thermostat is keeping it above 200 degrees, or higher, what's the benefit of having it? The fluid is still going to warm up to temperature, especially if it's running through the radiator cooler.
Honestly, I feel like the Raptor R SHOULD have them stock, and it should at least be an option for the regular Raptor models. Doesn't make sense having this high performance truck with the same brakes that a base model F-150 has.
Longer term review on the Alcons - had to make some adjustments on a couple things to prevent some small noises.
On the rear the inside lip of the rotor where the parking brake shoes are would rub the dust shield where it stuck out. I'm not sure why Alcon doesn't just have you trim the dust...
Now that I've got the Full Race radiator, Full Race transmission cooler, and the new radiator air deflectors I figured I could post a picture so people could see the setup. :)

Probably the dead giveaway that it's the incorrect unit is the fact there's no socket for the APIM to bolt to on the back of the unit, and also that it didn't come with brackets to relocate the DSP module (CD receiver) down further in the radio pocket. Looking at the harness I'm...
New setup came in yesterday and dove into it. The truck already had an Android 9 PX6 unit in it that I installed about 4 years ago and has been working perfectly, minus that the digitizer in the screen died and I had to use an external mouse to run it. I also still have the incorrect unit that...
