I guess I’m not sure how much an issue the leaf setup is w/ big power, I suppose being in 4wd helps mitigate

If they are making noise a lot of times it’s just a $20 check valve you can swap out yourself in 5 mins, I ordered a spare & keep it in my glovebox, but fwiw my ‘20 has 68k miles & no IWE issues to speak of (& I use 4HI/4A a good bit…not sure if that would increase or decrease chance of IWE...

I don’t wanna be Debbie downer here but knowing the gen3 Raptor has coilover rear & more range/quickness of the adaptive shocks….would it be wiser to consider cutting ties w/ the gen2 instead of upgrading turbos & start new build on a gen3 that would/should be able to put the power down way...

And going forward the diff fluid swap will be even more rudimentary! Lol

Finally installed this rear rigid spreader light kit from SPV, have the red halo effect on aux 6 & the main white spotlights on aux4 - now all my switches are used up lol!! Also installed a replacement tailgate assist strut & swapped out the tailgate light bulbs for LEDs Truck has 68k miles on...

This is somewhat accurate, some moog parts are still quality just sourced from different locations, timken bearings made in S Korea are same quality as those built in USA- I’ve been to the factory!!!

You have a point here, except that last statement there is something I’m not so sure of…& i own a BTC (yep- 1 single coin lol)….i think the potential for govt issued crypto globally & collectively govt’s fondness for effecting currencies on THEIR terms will ultimately dampen the widespread...

If they did it w/ the Eray corvette then they sure as sh*t can make a case for a hybrid off-road truck even if it adds some weight I’ve been all over the EVs & the nonsense story behind them form day 1, I know if intimately, work in the industry myself. BUT a non-plug in hybrid like the Eray is...

In the “modern” era (10th gen F150 from ‘97 on) Ford has gone anywhere from 5 to 7 years in between redesigns, last gen was 6 years - do we expect this current generation F150/Raptor to go through 2026 or do you think it may run out to ‘27? Seems like it was a fairly heavy redesign particular...

Im at 66k miles, my maintenance has been as such (I plan on keeping for 120-150k miles) engine oil every 5k Rear diff every 15-20k (have a performance diff cover w/ makes it easy) Front diff/T-case every 30-35k Spark plugs every 30-40k Engine air filter 2x a year Cabin air filter 1x a year...

I don’t know if you read my post correctly- I’m saying I’m not bothering w/ the Fox factory adjustable 3.0s @ that price point w/ the mile on my truck & if you can get NEW Fox OEM live valve shocks for around $2200 all 4 corners then I also don’t see why anyone would go the rebuild/swap route...

$3800 for the fox factory 3.0 adjustables tho? Seems like TSW rebuilds w/ a core charge are no great bargain- I think better route would be getting brand new shocks all 4 corners for $2200 + install then selling you used take-offs for the best deal You can get

Yeah I know all that was just ribbing ya b/c I know it’s 100% a GM OEM affiliate, & I used to handle akebono’s scrap generation for N. America, they have good quality control that’s the best you can ask for. I’m surprised your brakes didn’t hold up well I’m now @ 65k miles & besides a shimmy on...

My ‘18 that got totaled @ 45k miles still had life left in the shocks for sure, but I’d say they were more worn @ 45k miles under similar use conditions than my ‘20 is w/ 65k miles- maybe the live valves last longer? Either way- can anyone confirm if you can just buy new OEM live valves? I’d...

Yeah that seems crazy low it would have me scratching my head, not necessarily good to just have a Vehicle sitting w/o being used at all unless it was someone literally only putting 2500 miles evenly per year

Sounds like GM snake oil to me

I have 65k miles on my ‘20, w/ a good chunk of miles hauling a double jetski trailer + 2 dogs 2 kids wife & gear, probably up to 5k miles easy loaded up like that, my shocks are still definitely fine & showing no sign of obvious wear the ride is still plush on & offroad The leaf springs are...

If get a ‘23 & see if you can get a discount, you obviously have no shortage of vehicles to drive in the meantime- so take your time & find the exact vehicle you want for the best deal

I had a ‘98 ranger that went 178k miles w/o issue until my friend totaled it, then had an ‘89 Ranger that went 280k miles on the original clutch!! Brake lines blew on me so I took it the junk yard lol, used it as a beater for a couple seasons during winter/bad weather when I was trying to keep...

I run the Nokian Hakkapelitta (spelling?) on my Raptor but if I couldn’t get em I’d 100% go w/ the Duratracs b/c you can get em studded, which would improve winter traction all around despite not being a true winter tire- they have good siping but the studs help quite a bit. I originally had my...

wait until engine compartment is dry & mostly “clean” then Douse em w/ this stuff- Yamashield, then wipe down w/ microfiber cloth & let it set. Give it 30-40 mins then give another lighter coat & do not wipe off, let set 60 mins put on a 3rd coat be good to go This stuff is formulated for...

Is it possible to just swap out the plastic trim piece on tailgate or need entire tailgate?

Wtf you talking about most any dyno can put a 1/2 ton crew cab short bed truck on it no problem, now- some shops don’t like putting trucks on b/c they got long ass driveshafts & depending on the gearing you have to get to a fairly high speed for proper 1:1 ratio or whatever they shoot for &...

lol I thought same exact thing but I read it- was interesting

I could school everyone on the realities of EVs/auto manufacturing/recycling/mining etc. (literally my industy(s)) BUT I’ll refrain for now & just point out the last poster you’re quoting specified SOLAR power to charge his Tesla plaid during the zombie apocalypse…which certainly isn’t an...
