    Kilo Oscar Tre!

    How does a F2 rated tire ride? Its not a lot heavier at 70s.

    Ram RHO

    If i was after an interior I wouldn’t buy either of these vehicles. I’d have kept my Range Rover. These trucks are about suspension, to hell with a 2.5 bilstein suspension lol

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    I think you are able to install it yourself....but if you want any sort of warranty better go to the dealer. However if you go to the dealer they definitely know you have had or have a tune. You're almost better off doing it yourself and at least keep it off the dealers initial radar. When a...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Since it has to be flashed by the dealer or certified mechanic to maintain even the 36K miles warranty....Id imagine flashing it back and forth at home isn't going to maintain the warranty.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    It is BS that the OG Raptor...the real Raptor gets the least support with this kinda thing. The only reason I can think of it there are FAR less bronco and ranger raptors out there than 35/37 gen 3s and maybe they want to work out the kinks on less possible warranty claims first..lol Also it...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    My concern would be that if you do have it installed by the dealer, now there is a record of it. You're almost better off not having the dealer install it for warranty repairs. At that point though, what is the point of the FP tune? Unless of course no one is ever able to crack the newer trucks.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Yeah once you hit 36k miles, might as well go with a more aggressive tune unless they are never able to crack the newer models.

    5.2 vs. 3.5 EB Longevity & Reliability

    There are likely zero 150K mile 5.2 supercharged engines in any vehicle out there let alone 250K. I don’t think there will be any difference in longevity between the two. One has proof and the other doesn’t, but I wouldn’t have doubts with either if aggressively maintained.

    King shocks vs dual valve

    Uh oh …. I thought the 24 dual values were the end all be all shocks worth calling it a 3.5 gen over. Already looking to upgrade? :hidesbehindsofa:

    Upgrading to a Raptor R

    I don’t really have an interest in a super fast truck for 50K more. I’d rather have a much faster car than an R could ever be as an additional vehicle (which I have). Remember the R is limited to 113…lol. You’ll be passed by rental cars and gen 2 guys with a tune. I get why people buy Rs, but...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    It does, kind of. I know what you mean, it’s the closest thing to a normal + mode that goes through all the gears that we’ve got.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Im a little surprised that its not CA legal. I mean its not like its an extreme tune, you're still running cats, pump gas. Is it purely not legal because its not an OEM tune as it came from the factory? I know nothing about the mayhem of passing smog in California.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    I hope they don't ramp up the modes such that normal = sport, Sport = baja...etc. Id rather them just make it shift better/more intelligently. A min setting of sport would be a show stopper for me. Sometimes i need the trans to be calm...lol

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Ive been seeing online that the 5 year 60K powertrain would possibly revert to a 3 year 36K warranty. Also you'd need to have it installed at a dealer to even get that. Information or speculation of information has been a little nebulous on the fine print of the tune with warranty coverage.

    GEN 2 Disable 10R80 adaptive learning with forscan

    How many miles has it been? My 23 shifted beautifully for the first 500 miles or so, then it slowly started to feel identical to my gen 2. Resetting the tables always works for a while. It feels like a completely different transmission before the "re-learn" is complete. I suspect when we...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Id just take the tune off before going for a state inspection.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Its going to be pretty disappointing from a power standpoint compared to the Goose and MPTs out there, but should be kosher enough for the dealerships.

    How to purchase a new truck.

    People were flying cross country during the covid times for all sorts of vehicles. We forget that ordering a gen 3 used to be hard to order for MSRP and if you didn’t want to wait 10 months, you might have to find one across the country or pay 15K over.

    How to purchase a new truck.

    It can be tricky depending on location. I wouldn’t be willing to fly 1500 miles, lose out on the tax credit with trade in…etc..etc. Some people are also not willing to thrash and thrash and thrash on dealers and spend weekend after weekend wheeling and dealing all to save a couple...

    Swapping gen 3’s?

    67K would be a reasonable amount in my area. I guess really its just a question of is 20K worth 3 years newer and 20K less miles with the 37 package? Could be, I wouldn't make that jump unless I really wanted the 37 package.

    New Tire Time, What's Good These Days?

    Every off road forum Ive been on has never been in agreement with what is "the best tire". Way to many factors when comparing peoples experiences from Florida to Montana. Im at least grateful that the KO2 is factory and a good starting place. Sure is a lot better than the tires that come on a...

    Raptor vs. Culvert

    Id be worried about something being tweaked in there. All those little brackets lining up....etc. If it is as simple as a new aftermarket bumper that would be pretty awesome. Id take it to someone who will keep it off carfax, but give you an idea if there is 10K worth of messed up stuff back...

    My weird truck story...long. Read it anyway.

    How much was a valve body replacement ?

    (Canada)The lowest 24 R price I have ever seen…

    Less than 30km....lol They just need to take it on a few beer runs.
