3.5 will allow more usable droop and up travel. You will still have to limit that though.. (bumps and straps)
3.5's will allow you to to run hard enough to want/need a cage
3.5's have more comp/rebound control just because of the increase in piston and shim diameter
3.5's are cooler -...
Flushing 15 quarts through one of these every 30k doesn't seem very economical.
Is anything on theses trucks economical?
I'll probably stretch mine to 50k, just because I rack up miles pretty fast, but like I said, my converter disintegrated at 88k, and apparently this is a known weak link in...
So I just learned from Roush that my 14-1846 VIN tag does not mean its the 1800th Roush Raptor built in 2014....
It was the 1800th Roush vehicle down the assembly line in 2014!
They did not separate Raptors from mustangs or anything else. So I'm thinking that my truck might be a little more...
The relatively low production numbers of SVT Raptors is what will make the Gen 1 hold some value.
Since ford disbanded SVT, and made as many Gen 2 Raptor's as dealers could order, there are just less of the Gen 1 around. There is not as much competition when you are trying to sell them, so...
I had the transmission rebuilt on my 14 at 88,000. I am also pushing 625hp through it on 37's and beat on it regularly!!
That being said, I asked my trans shop this exact thing. His reply: On newer designed transmissions, where tolerances are tighter and they operate at a much higher operating...
I lived in the cold for 25 years and never needed a trans heater. Block heater, synthetic oil in everything (diffs, Trans, P-Pump, engine)
Let your truck have a decent amount of time to warm up before horsing on it, and Krown the shit out of it...
I would not worry if the dealership replaced the T-Case on warranty. I'd probably ask service adviser what failed... but its just a part, and parts do have issues.
I would do yourself a favor and really go over the vehicle looking for clues on its previous life and maintenance. Check out...
Thanks Eric. I hope to fab a large enough sheet metal box that I can then use a large replaceable paper element. Bigger than the stock Raptor, and hopefully large enough not to rob the engine of the required volume.
I will plan to get it on a dyno and test it. Its the only way to know how good...
Interesting read, although no help in my application. That calculation is great for a NA engine using a carb and round filter element.
I need to calculate for a forced induction engine and a closed box with inlet tube to match the larger MAF.
Somebody has done the math somewhere.
UMP told me I...
The only one I personally know is the 12 I mentioned. Autotrader TX has a bunch.
As for the 3.0'.. If you are not doing anything severe, then a rebuild through Forged would be perfect. You may even have an offroad shop close to you that can rebuild your 2.5's. Add a flutter stack and use good...
This is how my 2014 came new from the dealer. I assumed that maybe because it was a Roush, that Roush had changed the top or bottoms when they installed the blower.
Interesting....
BTW, Im on NGK LTR7iX (6510) the cooler heat range and have had no issues.
Have you found a truck yet? There are several in your range here in TX.
As for the "can I run Gen 2 shocks" This topic has been beat to death.
Can you? Yes.. rears easy, front requires a different spring etc.
Should you? No
Are you going to use the truck just on the street, or do you plan to...
