    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    Looking at another thread, it's recommended to remove the thermostat above the valve body if you're running a larger cooler. Looks like the thermostat bypass and the service kit for doing it can be found here: https://pbhperformance.com/product/6r80-thermal-bypass-valve/

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    It's probably the B&M one. I know Freedom Motorsports mentioned they recommend either that one of the aFe one from an earlier thread.

    Gen 1 suspension overhaul

    Sorry, a slightly taller block than the stock one. That's not my concern at this point though because I plan to change leaf springs and potentially block back there anyways.

    Radiator air deflectors

    The deflectors came in today and I got them installed onto the truck. I wasn't able to use the lower one on the driver side and had to trim the bottom of the passenger side one since I don't have a factory bumper setup. The frame cut bumper doesn't have the mounting locations for the push pins...

    Gen 1 suspension overhaul

    No issues with bypass noise while driving on the road?

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    Did some more looking around about the dipstick. Lokar used to make one that came with a nice bracket setup. I believe Performance Automatic sold the same one, just rebranded. Unfortunately neither are available anymore. It looks like the option is either the B&M one, or the knock-off B&M one...

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    Leaning more towards the aFe pan at this point since it holds 7 quarts over stock, which is the most out of any aftermarket pan out there. https://afepower.com/afe-power-46-70172-transmission-pan-machined-fins

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    That being said, any trans upgrades I should look at along with these? There's about a million different pan options. lol

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    You can, it's just really slow compared to the normal fill method. I've filled them through those tubes on other trucks with a similar setup, like LS swapped stuff.

    6.2 question

    Same with mine. Still running perfectly with no issues, so don't have a reason to jank the drivetrain apart. Just upgrading things as time goes on until I get to the point of needing to make large jumps. lol

    6.2 question

    Part of me thinks it would be worth going the 6.6 Livernois engine route with a Whipple on it. I'm assuming you could probably make 700+ on it without much issue.

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    Recently added the Full Race trans cooler and was thinking maybe there might be some other transmission upgrades that might be worth it. Was looking at aftermarket dipstick setups to be able to check the fluid from the engine bay instead of having to crawl underneath. Also wondering if an...

    Gen 1 suspension overhaul

    Are there any front coilovers that don't make a bunch of noise or ride rough on road? Would it be worth going to Gen 2 shocks in the front maybe?

    Gen 1 Side Frame Reinforcement (Bucket to Body Mount)

    I was gonna say, with a hit like that, I gotta imagine that there was some damage to you!

    5W50 oil in Roush supercharger?

    I was curious about running 5W-30 in a regular truck as well. I have it on the shelf for my 13 Flex Ecoboost.

    Radiator air deflectors

    I had completely forgotten about these things, but during my radiator install I remember that I had removed them at one point because they were badly deteriorated and ripped. Did some searching around and some people used their old ones as a template to make new ones from rubber mat from Menards...

    Gen 1 suspension overhaul

    Who made your leaf pack? What was the issue with the Deavers?

    Gen 1 suspension overhaul

    Deavers from what I had read from people seemed to be a no-brainer, and Geisers for sure if you were running stock shocks. I have the RPG rod ends to clear the Alcon brakes in the front. Stock tie rod ends too close for comfort to the rotors. Haha As far as the shocks I just hadn't done a ton of...

    Gen 1 suspension overhaul

    Starting my research on upgrading the suspension on my Gen 1. Suspension is currently stock minus top perch, a small lift block in the rear, RPG outer tie rod ends, 37x13.50x17 tires, and Roadmaster Active Suspension. Don't necessarily need anything insane, but definitely will spend the money on...

    14.5" Tesla style radio

    The upgraded screen is the big thing I would want for sure. The 8" screen with Sync 4 in my base 22 F-150 is much nicer than the Sync 3 setup in my 13 Flex.

    Gen 1 Side Frame Reinforcement (Bucket to Body Mount)

    I'd say if you planted the nose that hard you probably got other issues going on as well. lol

    14.5" Tesla style radio

    Will also comment that it will still not allow things like video in motion unless there's a way to jailbreak it. I have Sync 4 in my 22 F-150 and it's definitely a lot better than Sync 2 or Sync 3.

    14.5" Tesla style radio

    That's a Sync 4 setup, and I have never seen a conversion kit that would allow a 12" screen to fit on a Gen 1 Raptor like that. I know it's possible to go from Sync 2 to Sync 3, but that's because the screen size is the same and drops right into the Sync 2 spot. I did the conversion on my 13...
