    Which Synthetic would you use?

    It was twelve years ago so take it for what it's worth. We tested all the synthetic brands that were available at that time. I'd rather not name specific names as I do not represent SAM.

    Which Synthetic would you use?

    I have ran Mobil 1 Full synthetic in all my vehicles since 2001. Here's why; There is a little engine building school in Houston Texas called the School of Automotive Machinists. I was fortunate enough to attend this school after High School and graduated there program in February 2002. We...

    Very loud engine Knocking/Ticking after off-road

    I had a similar experience in my 04 z71 when I hit what I thought was a shallow ditch that was actually a six foot deep ditch. Was going about 30, full throttle and the cai sucked a whole bunch of water up. Bent four rods, which I would venture to guess Is why your engine is knocking. Because...

    They obviously don't "get" Raptor owners.

    Damn! Those are both some sick ass rides. I told my wife I'm going to need another deployment to pay for all the mods I want. Trying to go somewhere that does the 4-6 month rotations if you know what I mean.

    Obligatory "Picked up my Raptor today" thread.

    Alright, so I didn't actually get to pick it up because I am still on my Afghanistan vacation. So my wife went down and picked her up instead. I was worried they were going to leave the poor thing outside so I thought it best if we didn't wait until I get home in two weeks to take delivery...

    Who's still waiting for their '14? Post up so we can see who is still waiting

    Truck got to the dealership early. With all the hail storms Colorado is going to have decided it was better that my wife go pick up the truck early as opposed to waiting for me to get back in two weeks and run the risk of it getting damaged sitting on the lot. I don't know who is more nervous...

    08 superduty vs 14 raptor

    Oh, well in that case it makes much more sense to street drag race a Raptor then (it's all about context). If you have never lost in 20 years, what are you afraid of? Light them ALL TERRAIN tires up real hot, get up on the 500 RPM stall converter and let er rip! If you really want to kill him...

    2013 SDHQ Built Raptor Part Out

    Why would SDHQ keep his factory parts? Is this par for the course? Was it in his contract that they would get to keep his factory parts? If not, and I were him I would contact SDHQ and tell them they owe him his stock parts back. This would probably facillitate him being able to sell the...

    08 superduty vs 14 raptor

    I hope you mean a 1/4mi race on a shitty dirt road and not a drag strip. You bought a RAPTOR, not a Lightning.

    "Market Adjustment".....LOL

    Boy did they! I wish I could buy cars through them back in the States. This was by far the best "car buying" expereience I have had ever.

    "Market Adjustment".....LOL

    Let me guess, Phil Dong Ford? I can't wait to pick up my truck from them that I ordered through the Exchange and see their faces when they see what I paid. Freakin Crooks.

    I called the dealers bluff, and it worked perfectly...

    Speaking from personal experience: most great tech's get tired of the BS they have to put up with at dealerships, build up a clientele on the side and after 4-5 years open up their own shop. It's a lot easier to be a crappy tech working at a dealership than it is to own and run your own shop...

    Driver and Passenger Door Rattle(s)

    IMO if they don't offer to send a mechanic with you to test-drive so that you can identify the noise to the mechanic that would tell me they really don't care about trying to fix the noise. As far as what they can do to "fix" the noise; they may be able to adjust how the door sits on the...

    6.2 pedigree

    Just curious, why do you care? To answer your question, it's neither. The Big/Small block classification is based on the external dimensions of the block. So a 396 Chevy is considered a Big Block and a 400 Chevy is a Small Block. Displacement is not the determining factor - even though big...
