    2018 Raptor Lug Nuts ...just my take!

    Yep. I have post on here someplace from 4 years ago where my lugs were swollen and bent out of shape. Replaced them before it bit me.

    I did cam phasers in my garage, and you can too!

    I think the biggest things is 30 year old me in 2002 a $1,000 was a much bigger deal. 52 year old me in 2024 wipes my ass with $1,000 (or so it seems)

    Shifting manual mode. Rev limiter

    Paddle shifting is a waste in this truck when trying to go fast. Let the Auto be auto. The response time when you hit the paddle is so slow, it commands the shift late, and as you said, you have hit the rev limiter and the engine retards boost and timing to save itself. Keep it on auto, the...

    I did cam phasers in my garage, and you can too!

    So about 20 years ago, I decided to change the timing belt on my Audi to save $1,000. Took me all of a 3 day weekend instead of the book 4 hours, and the car was never correct after that. I ended up selling it. I learned my lesson. Pay the pros. get a warranty. save the headache.

    $1.62 = less mess oil changes

    $1.62 = less mess oil changes

    That reminds me. I bought a case of 12 FOMOCO oil filters 5 years ago, and I am out. 12 oil changes in 5 years or 56k miles. I say I follow the trucks warning for oil changes, but it look like I am a little ahead of schedule. 6 months or 5,000 miles

    AC\Heater issues

    what is the ambient temp....and are you in AUTO mode.....? for the record, the truck will still "heat" even if AC is on when you have it in full auto. If you are in auto, the truck will do what it thinks is best to achieve the desired temp. os if it is 60 degrees out and you go from 67 to 68...

    Light Install Triggered “Back Up Assist Unavailabel”

    everything is controlled by the computer now. any voltage change will send it into error. so if they just tapped a reverse light, it will throw off the computer.

    Aux question

    5 amps x 14 volts - 70 watts (but you should not go above 50% rating for normal draw) stop being cheap. if you don't know how to to it, pay someone to do it correct. you need a relay. PERIOD. It is not that hard.

    After 5 years of carefully backing into my garage, I finally took out the passenger side mirror

    Yeah. I was bummed too. Didn’t want to spend $800 for a simple fix. Glad it worked out for the both of us.
