    Should shocks be replaced in pairs?

    Depends on the miles, but in general- yes.

    GEN 2 My Turn for Pinion Bearing?

    It'd be even better if the pinion bearing lasted at least 150K miles- that's kind of the minimum people have come to expect from a Ford truck with no isssues IMO, and they should go 250K+ miles if they are maintained. I don't think Ford makes any axle housing type bearings in-house, so they...

    FRONT END STILL GRINDIND AFTER RCV INSTALL

    Your anecdotal story about your F250 is just that- one truck, one story. The 97-03 F150 system covers millions of trucks, and the fact is- the front axles did not need constant service. In fact, the 97-03 trucks need LESS service than the 09-14 setup. By far. The only thing the 09-14...

    FRONT END STILL GRINDIND AFTER RCV INSTALL

    How is spinning a part wearing it? Maybe wearing the bearings at most? Bearings are literally designed to spin. The 97-03 F150s were connected at the drivers side, which drove the diff and driveshaft. It was disconnected at the T-case and midway on the right side axle. There were no issues...

    bigger tires

    "Clique." I just got finished loading about 600 lbs of shit in and out of the Raptor- I think I'm fine on the pushups for today there chief brodoze. The fact you can't understand why lifting a Raptor is stupid shows how stupid you are.

    eBay Knockoff Fox Shocks

    Ford doubled the price on the CHMSL. Never did go back down. Still have one in the box that I got at the old price on the day they went up.

    BFG tires are good for a year or two.

    It is. So why are you upset? Glad you are properly pissed off. Now go away.

    GEN 1 2013 Moonroof

    I'd have given him the link to the only place you can buy the sunroof repair parts, but he can find it himself for all I care now. Calling CleverGirl a hoe and all- that ain't cool man.

    ‘24 Raptor R door misalignment

    I don't think Ford is as good at stamping aluminum panels yet as they should be. There needs to be more instutional knowledge, company wide in-house knowledge of the process doesn't exist yet, like it does with the stamping of steel panels.

    Method Race Wheels and WHY?!

    BS. It's all user error. People run the wrong socket size (too large) and damage the jacket, then it goes downhill from there. There's nothing wrong with the SS sleeved lugs, oither than they are not impervious to stupid like solid steel lugs are. Problem with solid steel lugs is they...

    Low oil pressure warning light

    For future reference, uou should stop driving anything *right now* if a low oil pressure light comes on. It was probably already eating itself at that point anyways though- and that engine was coming out either way.

    Average Ford dealer experience.

    Generally, they are terrible. The old small Ford dealerships out in the country areas are the only ones I like to deal with. Our closest dealer at least has a above average service depot, which is rare.

    Interior modifications, anything else you guys have added?

    Did my own custom console lid. Leather over thick dense foam. Was enjoying the cush yesterday, so nice.

    Unless you are beating the shit out it offroading it and actually need them- hell no.

    eBay Knockoff Fox Shocks

    Scabs and Screws have different shocks/part numbers. I think those 4J/5K are Screw shock part numbers. Don't forget about the Motocraft ASHxxxxx part numbers too. I've never see a truly complete part number list for both cab configurations and Gen 1 OEM Fox shocks.

    Brake system upgrades?

    Ford absolutley dicked the R guys by keeping the stock F150 brake setup. It should have got a rotor size upgrade and the requsite 18" wheels/tires. Even if Ford re-used the cheap caliper they use now, it'd perform so much better on a bigger rotor. Might be something in the pipeline though...

    Anecdotal Cam Phaser Noise as it relates to oil

    Even with a photo of the failed plastic part in front of you, you still can't accept the fact a metal part is better? Her dee der- lets go mix up some plastic.....

    Water dripping inside - Dealership says normal

    Exactly how was the water being applied? There's no way that much should be coming in without a direct pressurized stream of water. If you are simply sheeting water across the area and that much is coming in, you have issues. If you are blasting a garden hose right on the seam, I'd say it's...

    Maybe 42,648? Am I close? Are any of them not derived from oil?

    Anecdotal Cam Phaser Noise as it relates to oil

    Stressed plastic parts bathed in hot motor oil is not, and will never be a good design.
