    Everyone's manual say this? Oil related

    The standard F150 has a 3.5 ECOBOOST engine as well, the OP just can't actually read an owners manual and extract the data related to his vehicle and ignore the data unrelated.

    5w20 or 5w30 full synthetic

    Holy hell, resurrect a 7 year old thread. 5w-20 in the NON-turbo 3.5 5w-30 for the turbo-ed vehicles in Ford's line up.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Years ago at the dealer I worked at we had a lot kid that was stealing shit out of cars when he parked them. We had a few customers say something it was normally small stuff and honestly at least 2 customers called back saying they found the item at home, that their spouse had removed it from...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    That sucks, i have seen that a couple times before 20 years ago on a couple Explorers.

    I've Owned my Raptor for 2 Months, It's been at the dealer for Most of it

    This is pretty spot on. My observations over the last 35 years are this. Up until 2008-2009 there was a group of people that traded in vehicles every 2-3 years with low mileage, this gave some good low mileage used vehicles. When the economy crashed this ended drastically and trade ins...

    I've Owned my Raptor for 2 Months, It's been at the dealer for Most of it

    Just going to put this out there. This is my story. I deal with this daily and it is something I have had to learn the hard way AND something I try and get my guys to understand, it is harder than you think. The oil pump was probably replaced out of desperation. When you properly diagnose a...

    I've Owned my Raptor for 2 Months, It's been at the dealer for Most of it

    Just a little side note. Fluids inside wiring can be a big deal. (Mostly oil). Ford had their recall 25 years ago about brake fluid getting inside the wiring from the brake pressure switch on the master cylinder and would cause a fire (crazy but I saw 4 vehicle fires because of it) But...

    I've Owned my Raptor for 2 Months, It's been at the dealer for Most of it

    FYI, oil pump is about a 15 hour job, behind the timing chains. Would have been nice for them to offer to replace phasers/chains at the same time for the cost of the parts. Just saying

    The Oxygen sensor shouldn't get your pants in a bunch. Oxygen sensor is an electric component that can fail without warning at anytime just like a light bulb. Unless they have a better crystal ball than me (mine is broken) there is no way they would have known 2 weeks prior to failure it was...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Those look great. You can't 100% blame the previous owner. It is a shit design. Water gets under the "cap" and causes them to swell, at that point they suck to remove, should be replaced instantly upon removal but some situations like a flat on the side of the road dictate they get reused.

    AND there you go. Seriously they are getting stupid tight on emissions

    Installed My Ford Performance Catch Can

    No it wouldn't, you sound like you work for the EPA. (EPA us why catch cans are not installed at the factory). The stuff that a catch can catches you don't want back in the engine.

    Installed My Ford Performance Catch Can

    As stated the dual fuel system was implemented for the Gen 2. It was NOT done to combat intake valve build up. That is a secondary reason/benefit. If that were the case all direct injection engines would have dual fuel systems (if the sole reason was for intake valves deposit build up)...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Yea like @91Eunos says, up to 1/2" thick you will still have 2 or 3 threads past the nut. More threads doesn't make it stronger and those bed bolts do not seem to vibrate loose on a normal bases.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    In my experience you will not need longer bed bolts.

    Rough shift 3-4

    Yep, it is the one issue I am worried about on mine. Mine was built July 2020 so I wasn't worried about much, until the transmission TSB got updated to include the 2021 and the CDF drum was included.

    Gaia GPS - a turn for the worse.

    They have a free version, you should try it. It probably ain't perfect. On the offroad side. They have thousands of trails with 1-10 ratings. So I know based on description what I am getting into, or what to prepare for.

    Gaia GPS - a turn for the worse.

    t That would be more in line with On X BackCountry I think, On X OffRoad is 90%+ for vehicles, even has just motorcycle trails. But hiking trails it just mostly shows trail head location. I am not sure If one subscription covers all three products (they also have On X Hunt)

    Gaia GPS - a turn for the worse.

    Man I have really liked OnX OffRoad the last couple years. But I am sure someone will tell me how it isn't any better than Gaia.

    Raptor liner

    That poor Raptor, I am so glad I live in the 2nd driest state. I would have guessed more weight, only because the one truck I had the bed sprayed on it was 3/8" thick (on the bed floor at least). The OEM stuff definitely isn't that thick. I have seen worse things done to vehicles. Again it...

    Raptor liner

    We have truck in the shop now I believe totally sprayed with bed liner, also my neighbor about 8 houses down has one. Probably pretty damn functional, just ugly AF (and I normally put function over form) also would add about 300lbs to the weight of the truck. If water finds away through the...

    Drove a Gen 2 for the first time - Pros and Cons

    Also, have you heard the horror stories of getting Tesla's repaired. Manufacturing something and then servicing the product after are two different things.
