    bigger tires

    I'm not so sure about that, some days you have a hairy arm wearing a masculine watch. Do you have a split . . . personality?

    Any Ford dealership should be able to straighten out this mess and get the alignment back in factory spec.

    parking brake

    I did my rear brakes (rotors & pads) at 160k, I just sprayed brake cleaner on the parking brake parts and called it good. Still working good at 180k including hill hold.

    bigger tires

    A 13.5 tire on a 8.5 rim is not ideal.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    You gotta slow down to get better mpg. I just made the trip again and averaged 15.8 dowm and 15.1 back driving the 2 lane most of the way.

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    My thoughts on this subject, more capacity is helpful if you tow heavy or subject the truck to Baha conditions otherwise unnessary. In the hotter regions the F250 cooler helps keep the temps cooler longer. Modern fluids are engineered to reach optimum viscosity at around 185 degrees hense the...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Trip to San Antonio went well, Raptor performed well and drove like a dream. I put a lot of trust in the DTE and pulled into the gas station on fumes one mile from destination.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    All set for the drive to San Antonio, tires rotated and pressures checked, oil and filter changed, topped off the fuel tank at costco then added two bottles of BG44K when I got home. Leave at first light in the morning, it's about an eight hour drive depending on stops.

    Floor jack discussion

    The HF low profile 2 ton 23 3/4" lift (Pittsburg) jack is what I've used for the past 10+ years and 36 tire rotations on my RaptoR. No need for blocks of wood or extensions to lift the tires off the ground and use the HF 6 ton stands.

    Torque Converter Problem

    Now that you have shared more info on what is going on it sounds like the charcoal filters in the fuel purge system are contaminated from over filling the fuel tank. A new purge valve should not go bad immediately and the replacement throwing DTC codes indicates there is still a problem with the...

    Torque Converter Problem

    Step #1 check fluid level in transmission Step #2 have the transmission serviced, either fluid and filter or flush Personally I would take it to the local ford dealer and ask them to check the fluid level and schedule the transmission service then go from there.

    Lead Frame Recall 06-14-2024

    If they don't have a handheld tuning device then they can buy one from the tuner they go with. If shelby and roush don't sell tunes so be it, get a tune from someone else that is willing to take their money. Having forced air is a liability, @MurderedOutSVT knows this first hand but it's fun.

    Lead Frame Recall 06-14-2024

    Guys I think you are making this way more difficult than it needs to be. When the superchargers were put on your trucks they had stock tunes and then a modified tune was installed. So why can't a stock ford tune be put on the truck then send a copy of the revised tune to your tune company and...

    Replacement Backup Camera

    I bought my replacement backup camera from ford a couple of weeks ago and it was easy to swap out as the 2014 has the redesigned ford emblem. It would turn on when in reverse but no zoom and the front camera would not enable. Yesterday I took my RaptoR in for the LF recall so I asked them to...

    Back up camera question

    I installed a new backup camera a couple of weeks ago and it worked somewhat and the front camera would not enable. Today I was at the dealership getting the programing done for LF recall so I had them program the cameras and now the front camera works also.

    Lead Frame Recall 06-14-2024

    The recall letter states that if you paid out of pocket for a molded leadframe and the DTC codes are in the PCM it is possible to be reimbersed. My RaptoR is at the local ford dealership having the recall performed as I type this.
