    Not much in there. Looks fine

    Gen 2 High Mileage - Transmission

    I did not compare the tq capacities of the 8HP to the 10R. All I stated on those is they are of similar design, so a good trans shop like ATS will be able to apply their existing knowledge when jumping into the 10R to produce a quality build. They're already producing billet parts for the 10r's...

    Gen 2 High Mileage - Transmission

    If your truck is mostly stock, or even just garrett turbos, I would NOT spend big money a on a torque converter. The stock one holds up just fine, see if you can have it refreshed and up graded the clutch material. The ZF box in the Supra/BMW/Dodge's is a similar trans to the 10r80 in that it...

    Decision to Make Gen 2 or Gen 3

    Theres a dealer here in vegas with a '21 37 with recaros for 72ish. I'm waiting on the market to dip more. Lookiing at F250 tremors to tow a toy hauler with.

    Gen 2 High Mileage - Transmission

    There's nothing special in them, all clutchs, no bands. They just need to be clean and the stack heights need to be checked closely to be within spec. Call around to your local trans shops, or order from Sun Coast or ATS https://applied-torque-solutions.com/pages/10r80

    Rough shift 3-4

    My truck got fixed under warranty at the dealer. I have CPO to 100k miles, almost out. Then I have the carmax warranty to 150 lol It also helps I'm good friends with the advisor..

    Rough shift 3-4

    Depends how bad it is. Mine had a real long hesitation and would slam into 4th. Playing with clutch boost pressure and timing helped, but totally fixing it resulted in harsh shifts during normal ops. Took the truck in and got the valvebody and CDF drum done, and it was fixed. They also put the...

    Full Race's "Gen 2.5" Raptor build

    Idk if they fit the newer knuckle/hub, but I doubt ford changed the splines when moving to electronic control vs vacuum, it would have been pointless extra cost. The delete collar is larger than leaving the IWE in, and just unhooking vacuum/electrical. It takes up all the space between the hub...

    King Shock Anodization Stripped?!

    Lol, no they're not. Every product warranty leaves the manufacturer liable for only their part that failed, not anything else it may have damaged. Like if you put a piston in an engine, the piston fails, and destroy the entire engine. The piston manufacturer will (maybe) send you a new piston...

    King Shock Anodization Stripped?!

    That'll definitely strip anodizing. Is the battery sulfating and leaking?

    FRONT END STILL GRINDIND AFTER RCV INSTALL

    You're making reliability comments and calling something junk, yet you don't even know how it works...LOL The RCV is a splined collar, just like the IWE uses a splined collar, which locks the hub and shaft together. Its the "same" as an IWE, except it is longer for full spline engagement, and...

    Full Race's "Gen 2.5" Raptor build

    I would personally delete the IWE's, too much hassles. Mine have the RCV delete collars and I noticed almost no mpg change. But now they don't slip in high torque/high load "crawling" scenarios in 4Lo.

    Gaia GPS - a turn for the worse.

    I cancelled my subscription last week just due to price increase from $40 up to $60. I don't use it enough to justify that.

    Full Race's "Gen 2.5" Raptor build

    Thats not really how that works. That pin may "help", but if the bolt wasn't loose, it would not shear, it is primarily for timing the engine. I guarantee you the bolt wasn't torqued properly even if it didn't feel "loose". A lot of engines don't even have that pin, and require special timing...

    How Do You Check Gen 3 Transmission Fluid Level?

    You have to drive it somewhat hard, key is to make it shift a lot. So use the paddles, and downshift it. Downshifts will make the most heat.

    Cobb EPA lawsuit

    This is an old case thats finally settling. Cobb has already been following the "rules" of the settlement with the implementation of Green Speed.

    How Do You Check Gen 3 Transmission Fluid Level?

    The average person has no business check transmission fluid. Same reason the coolant temp gauge is a dummy gauge and doesn't show actual temp. That being said, that procedure is correct. Make sure trans is at 206-215*F, and with the trans in park remove the dipstick plug thinger and check the...

    King Shock Anodization Stripped?!

    Probably an aggressive degreaser. Definitely looks like fluid drips.

    Full Race's "Gen 2.5" Raptor build

    Not to threadjack, but this damage looks like a loose bolt. Those pins don't fail like that. Just like a wheel/hub interface, what holds the gear in place is the friction of the mating surfaces/clamping force of the bolt. The pin is mostly a locater for assembly, and doesn't take much load.

    Anecdotal Cam Phaser Noise as it relates to oil

    Mr Geoff over at full race builds these trucks into high performance beasts, he’s adding stress that factory parts were never designed for. Specifically, the increase hp/tq increases the engine rate of acceleration, which inceases the slack on the “pushed” side of a timing chain, so the...

    Anecdotal Cam Phaser Noise as it relates to oil

    Got it. So you seem to also not really know how plastic is derived from oil. They don’t just stir it together in a pot, let it cool and “BOOM PLASTIC” Best of luck with your ill founded conceptions.

    Anecdotal Cam Phaser Noise as it relates to oil

    How many different types of plastic do you think there are?

    Anecdotal Cam Phaser Noise as it relates to oil

    What failures have you seen on the Gen2? Aside from the phasers I haven't seen chain or guide issues, or issues with the valvetrain. I've done probably 15-20 of them at my shop, including mine. And just as many valve covers for the cracking issues, so I've had eyes on the valvetrain.

    New coolant lines from full race.

    In the video the turbos go in with the lines assembled and clamps in place accept for the fitting on the drivers side to the back of the head. I get that spring clamps are used by OEM's and generally are reliable, but all those spots just seem like the perfect application for Oetiker clamps...

    What oils y'all using in the EcoBoost?

    I would not run 5w50, the truck runs the same oil pressure, so you're just getting a lower volume of thicker oil through the engine. If you run it hard and oil temp is consistently above 230 or so, 5w40 helps keep the pressure up when it's hot. But 5w50 is not needed and doesn't really help...
