    Persistent rattle in rear passenger C pillar

    Sweet, I guess I should have actually done some googling. I hope I find something loose in there, driving me nuts.

    Persistent rattle in rear passenger C pillar

    Howdy. I’ve got a really annoying rattle which sounds like it’s coming from the rear passenger C pillar. I’ve messed with the seatbelt, buttoned down the jack and gasoline nozzle, put the seats up and down, banged around on panels to try to localize but nothing seems to help. It’s a 2023 35...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    You're correct. I keep forgetting to switch to that. It does do a pretty good job and it does seem to act like a better normal mode without being full blown sport mode.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Uh...you must have gotten a special truck. My 2023 is just as janky and messy as my 2020. They are identical in every single way. Id pay 500 bucks just to have a transmission as sorted as the ZF 8 speeds ive had....or really any other automatic I've ever owned.

    Did you do the install yourself? What sorta boost numbers are you maxing out at ?

    Fox Factory Race Series

    If its a gimmick in the Raptor, then I suppose all adaptive/electrically adjustable suspension is a gimmick? I sure like being able to adjust it from the steering wheel for different situations in all the cars I've owned with electronic adjustable suspension. 100% needed...not really...another...

    How to accurately appraise?

    As others have said. Checking out Autotrader to see what the cheapest available comparable mile, year, and features trucks go for is the best way. Remove 3-4 grand from the great value dealership deals for private party is where you’ll be for a sale. If you don’t have any comparable trucks...

    Any chance braking pressure has been altered

    Yeah I drove the 23 the first time today after being out of town for a week. First application of the brake coming down the driveway I had an awkward learners permit sudden braking moment where I kinda went “huh”. Could be I was used to the rental car though. I don’t think my truck had an...

    That is interesting. My 2020 and 2023 are both 5w 30.

    5w20 or 5w30 full synthetic

    Yeah 3.5s for as long as I can remember are 5w30.

    Premium Fuel

    The thing I notice quite a bit when I rarely run a tank of 87 (usually when I purge my 30 gallons of summer time hurricane gas) is the transmission does a lot of gear hunting and seems more confused. I imagine it’s because it upshifts too quickly and there isn’t enough power, so it bogs down...

    2024 cracked front dif - resolved

    What Houston area Ford dealer did you end up working with that did a good job if you don’t mind me asking?

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Makes me think the 3.0 is a better engine factoring hp/displacement.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Imagine the horror if the gen 4 is still 450hp :oops:, and even more locked down. There was quite a bit of shock that the gen 3 wasn't rated for extra power, no real guarantee with the gen 4 either even with the RHO out there.

    Help - Keep the 21 or get a 24/25.....Asking for your guys opinion/thoughts

    Nvm I got ya. For some reason I took that as you weren't going to get a Raptor and instead a phrase that made no sense to me. Forgot that you were designing graphics....carry on.

    A Big Thank You to Baja Designs

    Yeah when I sent my SAEs back for the rebuild I really think they just gave me new ones. Either that or their restoration process is the best known to man.

    2024 cracked front dif - resolved

    Yeah their logic seemed to be because they've never seen a failure like that it must be abuse or impact. Sure I didn't tell them I was messing around a little, but sure wasn't doing anything countless Raptor people haven't already done a million times. Ultimately, they knew it was a...

    2024 cracked front dif - resolved

    The dealer told me they'd more likely cover the internals being shredded than a busted housing when I asked what sorta differential failure would you cover? They also told me to go through insurance claiming an impact even though there was no sign of impact anywhere. 2K is about right, it...

    Oh you’re in Houston….lol. I hope you weren’t going to Tomball ford. They are the dealer that denied me $*&% those guys.

    2024 cracked front dif - resolved

    A very similar thing happened to me. My front diff case on one of the mounts failed on a very minor “hop”. Not sure if there was actual air involved, but the dealer saw a few bits of mud under it and denied my coverage. I had 3.0 FRS on all 4 corners, so I wasn’t completely stock, but it...
