    Window spots only where wipers wipe?

    I've had a bunch of issues with new Ford vehicles and their windshields. Two most recent - one had a weird crinkle look pattern that must have been in the plastic laminate layer. It looked like the dash reflecting in the glass, but the dash was not that pattern at all. Another recent one had...

    Extended Engine Cranking when starting

    The Raptor R engine is not a DI engine.

    Break in & robbery

    The border should be closed entirely until they get their shit together down there. We don't need cheap car parts from their factories that bad.

    Gen 1 raptor headers 6.2

    Nobody takes long tubes off once they are installed.

    35 vs 37 Fuel economy different?

    All of this back and forth on MPGs is pointless. I'd bet nobody is hand calculcating and avergeing their MPG for every single fill-up. I'd suspect most are posting their "hero" tank. All highway driving, perfect weather, etc... Speaking of weather- a vehicle in, say South Carolina, will get...

    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    Again, it's SUPER obvious when shocks are worn out when there is a 100+ lb tire and wheel package at each corner. The "system" you refer to is a spring and a damper- there's nothing else involved. Maybe you can't tell when the shocks no longer dampen the springs by simply driving the vehicle...

    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    I said if they aren't leaking AND they are still damping the spring- they are fine. There is no magic mileage number when they are worn out. I know shocks can wear internally and not leak. I've pulled off plenty of non-leaking shocks that were done. If they are leaking though- it's a clear...

    Extended Engine Cranking when starting

    It's in the tune. The dealer can't do squat until Ford releases a new calibration for the engine.

    GEN 1 Mystery Dash Reading - What IS this?

    It's the OK button that activates it and clears it. You have to do it quickly as you found out. Preety odd feature really- considering they don't even come with a voltmeter.

    GEN 1 Mystery Dash Reading - What IS this?

    You paused the trip odometer. It's used to pause the timer/stopwatch.

    19 model to 23/24 model, is it worth it?

    The linked rear suspension is way better than the leaf spring setup in the Gen1 and Gen 2 trucks.

    Extended Engine Cranking when starting

    2020 GT500 has port injection. This is the same engine, de-tuned to survive in truck usage.

    Mistaking the 2023 Raptor R for the 2024 Raptor R

    Those obviously aren't R models in that video, but I think the '23 looks way better in most regards. The '24 grille is way too busy with the squiggly lines above and below the FORD. The '23 grille looks way more classy. The '24 headlights look like a bunch of different parts slapped together...

    Differences between F150 Raptor and Raptor R?

    Don't call them Termis.

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    Sometimes they are doing you a favor "beating" on it. Full throttle break-in is the best thing you can do for a performance engine. You only get one chance to push those new relatively rough-edged piston rings solidly into the cylinder walls before they get honed smooth by the walls under a...

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    Still building those V8 Raptors? In 2024? WTF Ford. I was assured no more V8 Raptors after 2014, and that Mt. Fuji would be snow-free by 2024. Yet and Don't believe the hype.

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    The midwestern states will have the best deals as the got-to-have-it-at-any-cost guys already have it, and the ADMs go away. Watch the dealers in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and being willing to fly there to get one. If you want a good deal from your local dealer out west, you are in for along...

    Gen 2 with Detroit locker

    Why do they sell that module for Gen 1 trucks? An OG Raptor can lock it up in 2WD and run it out to the speed limiter. Is it so you can turn it off and back on at a higher speed than the stock setup allows?

    Shelter Green 37PP YouTube Video

    Gotta change things up at some point. They've been shoving the same grey colored fender flare down everyone's throat for the last 13 years. Same for the machined wheels with painted accents as standard fare. I love the PTM black flares on my black Raptor and would not prefer them to look like...

    Raptor Regret?

    There's no replacement for displacement. Raptor R FTW. Even more power for 2024? Nice. 720 HP.
