I have a dual set up that is not of use to me anymore if anyone is interested:

Believe it or not, this is not a real problem ( stacking coolers in away that have them in the same air path through the grille). As crazy as it sounds, 140f air can and will cool the 210F radiator behind it. Remember, “optimal” temp for oil and water is the key, not cold. Better intercooler...

The type of oil can also have an effect on how much vapor is created (that turns back to liquid in the can).

That’s the Ford Performance/Rigid kit.

My current set up…

Knock in DI motors (LSPI) drove the reformulation to SN+. The detergent balance of calcium is different.

This.

Carlite is a Ford Company, no?

Yes, It is a more expensive option that you can request of your carrier. I have used this option for the past 20 years.

You have to specify OEM replacement as part of your policy. It is negligibly more expensive but I want to make sure I get OEM glass on my cars.

Shane, Those are available from Ford. I would buy a couple for spares as they do wear out. The Ford dealer will be able to get the part number. Once you have that, you can ship replacements on line.

Great share! This is a so the BMS will adjust as it charges. It does not mean the battery is not charging. He states this in the video. It will not effect how the charger monitors the battery and maintains/charges it. The BMS will re adjust after a few hours of not driving (usually over night...

Do owners realize a Torsen is not a locker? It's seems like the disappointment is based on this assumption. By the way, even with a Torsen Traction Control comes into play (i.e. uses brakes). To make maters more confusing is that if you put a vehicle that has a Torsen on a jack with the wheels...

Team, Torsen diffs do not “lock”. They act like an open diff when completely off the ground. I understand being disappointed about not having one, but they have never been a locker. The whole point of a Torsen is to be able to split torque between two wheels at different speeds and kind of...

Why not get the whole system? You have the FP tail pipes already or want to keep them stock?

I would also hook the battery up to a tender/charger for good measure. Man, sorry your dealing with this.

You nailed it. These one armed bandit demos a grift. Head and Shoulders Shampoo will out perform any engine oil in these “tests”. You shouldn’t use it in your engine though.

Great point! Keep in mind though that the port/direct injection motors still accumulate more of the soot deposits (compared to a port only motor). The calcium (detergent) balance in a DI oil help tremendously. The same things that control soot in a DI motor also help with Low Speed preignition...

Also, For additives to be truly effective, they need to be of good quality ( there are 40 different types of ZDDP for example) and blended with the base oil at specific temperatures. Also, look for a high VI (Viscosity Index) and try and determine/find out if the base oil is of the highest...

Driven Racing Oil DI30. Only oil blended that starts with a mPAO base that I am aware of. This oil was designed for Ecoboost Ford engines from the start. All others on here were blended with a broad market of applications.

mPAO oils are really good. Look into PAO vs.mPAO. I’m wondering if the oil separator the Ford Performance current GT500 would work on the Raptor R?

Lighter links would make the truck handle better. The Uniball pivots are stronger but will wear faster than stock. I would make sure to lube the Uniball pivots with Tri-Flow or Driven Racing oil Speedlube. Need to inspect and clean on the regular as well.

As a SME in regards to supply chain, I can tell you things are still coming back from pre-COVID times. One of the scarcest resources right now is people. It’s crazy. No one wants to work….

Looks nice! Gonna re-finish the calipers or leave the Roush logo?

Check to see if there is a difference between the distance of the wheel poke between the left and right rear tires. That’s the simplest way I can think of how to explain it. I would expect the passenger side to be poked out to the left just a tad bit (3/4” inch or so. The opposite would be true...
