    4A/4H pulls to the left when accelerating

    From the angle in the video, it looks like the left side is right near or on the centerline of the road. ALL roads have a crown at the middle for water drainage. With ANY LSD in the front of ANY vehicle, if both front tires are not on the same literally flat surface at 180deg (flat...

    New Info On 21’ Raptor

    Yep, this ^^^^ I deleted my FB account, but the link opens to the specific page only. It doesn't open to actual FB. edit: Oh, and for the new Raptors, I don't care at all. My 2018 802A w/all options bought new is still a keeper @55k miles. I bought it specifically for the TT3.5EB

    CRP stage 4 build (lower than expected power levels)

    @Guy I recommend you try one 32oz can of BOOSTane Pro on the dyno. Assuming a full tank in a 36 gal tank, 32oz will bring the 93 octane up to ~100, so you can add the timing in. If you/re running say 1/2 or 1/4 tank it will bring you up to ~102. Then you can still drive the truck on pump 93...

    Recreate window sticker?

    Yep, if all you want is a pdf, then this site works great. Works for Mazda and other brands as well. I've used if for several Mazdas.

    Mud Flap Recommendations?

    I prefer the WeatherTech as they aren't a big LOOK AT ME deal. They are functional and subdued as they should be. I even bought the mid-flaps, but they just aren't functional and get in the way of ground clearance, so I never installed them. YMMV

    Recreate window sticker?

    If you order from the Ford Show Parts site the window sticker is indeed a real reprinted window sticker for your vehicle such that you can peel the backing off and stick it on your window. I have the reprinted window stickers for my last 3 Ford Performance vehicles framed and on the wall in my...

    Recreate window sticker?

    Well, there's literally nothing in life that is free, other than the weather. You get weather for free. Gravity, yeah, gravity is free too. Air, yeah the air is also free. So, to get anything other than nature for free, you must be a convict in prison, then everything is free. Adequate...

    Dyno Results: MPT + CR Stage 4 Turbos

    I have DynoJet software and can produce dyno numbers that look like that too. There are several variables that can be utilized to "adjust" the results. That dyno sheet is missing several key parameters that are usually displayed on a legit dyno run. Please post or PM me the actual .drf (dyno...

    Raptors built during COVID

    This ^^^ is the best explanation ever for the cost of the Raptor.

    Engine Temp Fluctuation

    In cooler weather the engine is usually still coming up to full temp as you're driving. The grill shutters are usually closed as well. The engine will gain temp faster than the t-stat opens fully and you see the indicated temp rise higher than "normal" while everything is settling into the...

    Level or No Level?

    I installed the shackles today. Lowered rear by ~1". No big deal, but I like it... YMMV

    2020 Raptor Tunes and Devices

    LOL No, my only connection to Cobb is as a customer since ~2007 with both Mazda and Ford products. That makes over a decade using their tuning software and hardware. I prefer the Cobb software based on their engineering and longevity as I always do a bit of my own tweaks to the baseline OTS...

    Level or No Level?

    I have 1.2" lowering (longer) spring shackles for the rear of mine. I want the rear a bit lower without any serious modification for the additional aft weight transfer under acceleration... I have zero desire to "raise" or "lift" anything on the truck.

    Truth behind tunes and hardware upgrades

    Just an FYI, I bought a CAI kit before I even started modding and sold it to recoup the cash for other things... It will add a tiny bit of performance increase due to your lighter wallet.

    To downpipe or not to downpipe???

    If you're looking for the OMG improvement, you must go with Goosetuned and at least 50% ethanol mix. The timing advance is very low on gasoline, but the ethanol allows significantly more timing = more power.

    To downpipe or not to downpipe???

    You can clear it with a reset file from HPTuners and it is back to "open". However, it MUST be uninstalled from your truck, ie flashed back to stock. I had to go through the original tuner to get mine cleared for another vehicle...

    Truth behind tunes and hardware upgrades

    Please note that depending on the tune itself, the ECU doesn't pull timing based on Charge(boosted) Air Cooler temp until it passes ~140 degF. If you're not running 140 higher temps, then the intercooler isn't going to do anything for you. I'm still running the OEM FMIC and occasionally I run...

    To downpipe or not to downpipe???

    If the aftermarket downpipes, catted-or-uncatted, provided some bolt-on power increase I would have them on my truck. The stock turbos are the power-limiting component, NOT the downpipes. ALL the reputable tuners have stated that the DPs do not offer a power advantage ON THIS TRUCK. That...

    timing phaser TSB coming

    Ok. The indications you are seeing are NOT normal. There's only two items at this point that would cause that and NO other issues. The engine thermostat and/or the ECT sensor itself. The shutters are controlled by the ECU(PCM) based on ECT and AC on/off. You should insist that a dealer tech...

    timing phaser TSB coming

    One more question... Does it only happen when you're starting out towing the load from cold start? If so, that will explain why it's hitting a high peak before dropping down. You really need to monitor the ECT value as it rises and falls. If the thermostat is still closed when you begin...

    timing phaser TSB coming

    Ok. Yes, a 2018 doesn't display the MTE above the fuel gauge unless enabled with FORScan or the VDS tool. There are several other changes you can make with FORScan if you desire. Like showing the Engine Coolant Temp above the idiot gauge all the time, so you can follow the fluctuations that...

    timing phaser TSB coming

    What year is it? Do you have the 802A with Tech package? If so, it should have always displayed the miles-to-empty. If not, then the dealer loaded incorrect firmware for you. Also, the temp gauge should NOT rise up that high, EVER, unless there is a serious problem. Indeed you have a...
