    Whip flag mount assistance needed

    This is what I did in a pinch. Worked fine for the hour or so I needed it. 54 seconds in the video...it takes several 80mph runs across the flats

    Decided to remove my tune...risk vs reward just didn't make sense....some observations

    I am at 40,xxx miles, so on my dime officially regardless of tune or not. I just decided I don't need the extra performance and extra stress. Again, I have plenty of other "got fast" cars...don't need my truck to be a 13 second 1/4 mile truck. And yes, Ford can always see when the ECU was...

    Decided to remove my tune...risk vs reward just didn't make sense....some observations

    Tune has been on for a year and about 8,000 miles. Running a 93 tune, and I always get top tier 93 gas, but every now and then I was slight knock when doing pulls in 3rd gear. I decided to revert back to stock for the ECU and the trans tune. You know what....I don't miss the extra power at...

    Truck will be sitting for 3-5+ months?

    do nothing but maybe fill the gas tank....3-5 months is nothing for a modern car / truck. When you are ready, fire it up and drive.

    My Issues Post Cam Phaser Replacement

    My belief is the duty cycle is MORE taxing in a German car. Who ever designed the "hot v" is both crazy and a genius. 2 turbos in the V between the pistons where the carb used to sit. talk about your heat soak.

    My Issues Post Cam Phaser Replacement

    bah.....stop thinking it is 1980 oil tech. even then...3,000 miles was overkill. 10k on synthetic blend is easy......full synthetic is even better. while not ideal for your 1st oil change to come at 15k, it will not destroy an engine. And stop thinking turbo motors are some fragile piece of...

    My Issues Post Cam Phaser Replacement

    13k is not THAT long over schedule. Doubt a serious oil issue with one missed change.

    Military Times article on 2021 Raptor

    A "Raptor" is a bird of prey...owl, vulture, eagle, hawk..... Dodge and their silly T-REX thinking Ford named the truck based on a Dino.

    Dealership Forgot to put lug nuts on tire

    lol.....I prefer a little of both....I call it SCRUM FALL. But man, in most offices now a days...if you tried to say we should do a waterfall project, they would take your badge and throw you out. That is just where SDLC has been taken now a days.

    Considering selling my Raptor

    it is worth what someone is willing to pay for it....seriously....good luck finding the highest bidder. I know values are up...even with just a trade in......but #1...I still love my truck.....and with 5 cars in my current stable.....I get plenty of variety. But it is tempting.

    NAVIGATION - Instruction Has Begun

    I did "orienteering" in an 8th grade camp. I understand the basics of how to navigate with a compass and a topographical map. that skill is lost to 98% of the world

    jl 10tw3 behind back seat

    2 barely fit...I can't see 3 doing it well. I can also tell you, .75 for those woofers vs .50 makes a HUGE difference in how they sound. I tossed my 1st box out because it was not deep enough. built the second box making use of all the space I could find and the extra .25 per woofer made a...

    Plug and play amp upgrade??

    my concern is the units size.....it claims to do an awful lot in such a small form factor. to get this kind of power in real life 6x 175W Channels @ 4ohms 2x 300W Channels @ 4ohms 1x 500W Subwoofer Channel @ 4ohms (or 1000W @ 2 Ohms) 1x 4V RMS preout It takes a lot of real estate to lay out...
