    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    "Needed" is the key word. No, it's not needed, and it's always subjective. There's no way to replicate a full system overhaul with just a speaker swap. With an 800a, at least it's easier for you. However, if you just want to try a speaker upgrade first, I'd try some 6x9 components from...

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    It depends on the tuner used...Ford has the bad/muddy one. Daimler-Chrysler/Audi, etc have the good one. It is very annoying if you are trying to upgrade your audio and a primary source sounds like complete crap. Is anyone streaming Sirius from their phone and if so is the quality better? I...

    2018 SCREW, 802a, Sync3 claims another...killed a SanDisc 32gb flash drive

    Thanks for the replies. Like I said, a simple aux jack would have been fine for me. I'm due for an iPhone upgrade, and will make sure I get a higher capacity than my last so that I can keep most/all of my music on there and either use BT or Carplay.

    2018 SCREW, 802a, Sync3 claims another...killed a SanDisc 32gb flash drive

    What are y'all using to play music files locally through? I realize I am a luddite to some degree now, but I still like my music on my iPod, yet Sync3 gags on mine for anything other than playlists due to indexing issues. Even then, it's off by one letter, so I have to think of where the...

    Anyone bought these yet?

    Only bigger waste of $ is the factory stickers.

    GEN 2 Intercooler or radiator first?

    To preserve power, I would think intercooler...stock unit small, can see real gains with upgrade. I would wait on the radiator to see how temps are in actual use. Remember, intercooler is just cooling air from turbos to give a better/more dense charge, radiator cooling coolant for engine.

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    So, I've conceded, to a degree. Taking truck today to dealership for them to re-measure tires, get "new" warranty appraisal so they can put tires on. Just not worth the back-and-forth to try and make two disparate parts of Michelin/BFG work together. Not happy about it at all, but want to get...

    Engine/Transmission T/F ?

    And don't tell them it's the same as the Navigator/Limited.

    Or for free by pulling the trailer wire.

    Quick fix to shut off start/stop button

    Affects the trailer lights. This fix is the cheapest/simplest fix, period. Or, just keep it in Sport mode all the time.

    Cold Air Intake

    I did the AEM dry filter...better flow, and the stock box is fine.

    B&O Center Dash Speaker Blown?

    I'm not going to debate that your/the full system re-do is better; it is. But a good, efficient speaker upgrade does make a noticeable improvement for a lot less money. I think the stock tweeters are OK, but the paper cone 6x9s are complete crap. A decent set of components will markedly improve...

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    The strange thing about mine is that I run them at 37psi, rotated every service, and they look more worn in the center than the edges, like they were ballooning. Now I am fighting with BFG, or rather BFG is fighting with itself. Customer reps say I can go to any authorized Michelin/BFG dealer...

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    My OEM BFG KO2s are at 1-2/32" (basically bald) at 28K miles, and have been generally unsafe in the wet and useless offroad for the last 3-4K miles. As most know, the C load rated KO2s for the Raptor were made to run softer, and allegedly had a different compound than the other KO2s. I think the...

    drop for trailer hitch?

    I have a small trailer I use for for 4wheeler/golf cart, so I measured it when I got the truck, and got a 4" drop that is just about perfect. However, if I had a bigger or multiple trailers, I would definitely spend the $ for a good adjustable hitch.

    2018 Raptor Back Seat Covers

    I got this one from Amazon...very pleased with it. Black and orange even matched the accent/seat package: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXUK432/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Will definitely be an upgrade, but not sure if you will get your $ from the rears without an amp. JMO.

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    Yep. The lack of candor/represented experience is very concerning. As I said above, the biggest service department in the state is at another dealer, but they are 6-8 weeks for an appointment for anything other than basic service/oil change.

    GEN 2 How long do OE tires last?

    I run pressures just under this (as was suggested by the instructors at Raptor Assault), and my OE KO2s are wearing at the center a good bit more than the edges. I am at 25k and will be lucky to get another 4-5k out of them, especially if I expect any off road traction/don't want to be on water...

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    Thank you...will do. If you or anyone else knows, what is the timetable from when this issue starts occurring to when there is real damage done/potentially done to the engine? My other option for service is a dealer which has the largest fleet service program in the state, and they are a 6-8...

    Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

    They had my truck for a week and said they tested it against a new one and it sounded the same. I videoed it the first morning I had it back and the next three making the telltale rattle at startup, and have sent those videos along with these threads to the dealer. It's disappointing, because...

    Do you put weight in bed for snow or not needed

    I survived the "Blizzard of 1981" in Atlanta...4 inches. Shut down the city for almost a week. It's all relative.
