    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    I was looking at K02 prices for when the times comes and they were $1647 shipped from Tirerack to me. Then comes the headache of getting them mounted and balanced. I decided to see if there were any bargain take-offs around locally. I was specifically looking for the OEM forged beadlock wheels...

    Upfitter wiring question

    Thanks, Nex! Amperage and that single LED were definitely on my mind. I wasn't sure if I was missing an obvious easy path to using the up fitters for this. I appreciate you heading me down the right path.

    Upfitter wiring question

    That's true. I could think of a few workarounds like that, but I was hoping there was a way to utilize the upfitter area since there is about zero chance I will ever add enough accessories to fill them up.

    Upfitter wiring question

    Not sure anyone has done what I am considering here. I installed the missing ambient lighting in my 23 a while ago and I'm not convinced I enjoy the light coming from the media bin. I was thinking I would love the ability to turn it on/off when I want rather than it being on all the time. Is...

    I installed the missing ambient lighting in my 23 a while ago and I'm not convinced I enjoy the light coming from the media bin. I was thinking I would love the ability to turn it on/off when I want rather than it being on all the time. Is there a way to utilize one of the upfitter switches to...

    Picked up my 2023 Raptor

    yikes. I would contact whoever you got them from and get the set replaced. I'm not sure there even are OEM ones for these trucks. I could be wrong there though. Not really worth asking since I can see the photos, I'm sure you noticed they are side specific, right?

    ARB Twin Air Compressor Under Seat Install and more

    Slick setup! As with most card mods, I'm torn here. I feel like I have absolutely no need for this and simultaneously I'm not sure how I will survive another day without it! In the chance I don't come to my senses and cave to my weak minded impulses for a quick dopamine hit, is this the...

    GEN3 Forscan

    There are seven you need to change, not 8. The eighth option is if you want the setting to show in the Sync 4 screen you need to go into the APIM and change the one referenced in the notes. The other notes about up/down are just the instructions on how to make it work once you've changed all...

    Heated Wheel Retrofit

    More than happy to help out anytime! I was sweating it a bit thinking I forgot a few steps, but it went really smoothly. You are hands down one of the more fascinating people I have ever met! Note to others, if you get a chance to meet Draptor13 in person...take it :)

    Octane Poll

    Ultimately, no. If it were just about MPG, tossing the highest octane in would make the most sense without much debate. As someone who has only put 93 in mine, I was more questioning whether the benefits are there for running 93 vs 87 if the engine internals are warrantied out to 175k. The...

    Octane Poll

    Got a link? Genuinely interested in see the results of this dyno. That would toss a wrench into C&D saying they say a 20hp gain going from 87-->93.

    It took a few minutes a side. Zero fitment issues whatsoever.

    Interior leak from overhead control unit

    I had the exact same dripping issue several times on my 2019. It was odd because it never seemed to happen in torrential type rain. The few times I noticed it, it was after moderate rain. Exactly why I chose a truck with no sunroof this time around. Sorry to see they haven't fixed the issue.

    Octane Poll

    Totally agree. Not a huge savings, but over the nine year warranty period it's $4,000 towards the warranty. I guess thats where my debate comes into play. I could just keep running 93 and buy the warranty (that was my plan until my wife tossed a wrench in the mix.....as she tends to do at times...

    Octane Poll

    Time to revisit my thread here quickly. Disclaimer: I broke my foot a few weeks ago and am bored out of my mind. Forgive me if I am not thinking correctly. I was chatting with my wife about how much I like this truck and how much of a lemon my 2019 was and we got to discussing Ford Protect...

    ForScan for Newbs and must have mods

    The "- -" is checksum data. You shouldn't need to adjust anything there. Forscan handles that automatically after you make whatever adjustments you are making elsewhere. My understanding is that if you get a "checksum" error waring to just ignore it and "write" anyways. Forscan should make the...

    Heated Wheel Retrofit

    Everything you really need is summarized perfectly in this post: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/heated-wheel-retrofit.95140/page-22#post-1884452 No jumpers involved or anything like that. The trim comes off with relative ease.

    Retrofitted Temp Display Knobs to my '22

    Post #219 will show you everything you need to get the heat working in your 2023. I just did it a few days ago. Incredibly easy swap. After doing it once, I'm guessing I could swap all the necessary parts in under 20 minutes now. While you have everything apart, you may want to consider adding...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    looks good! I may consider installing the same for my teenagers back there. You'd think that gets better as they age. nope

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Definitely an option, but when I researched this all back in May, the guaranteed headache-free route was the non digital version, so I purchased those at the time. It's what I had anyways, so I was used to it. I wasn't interested in potentially causing coding headaches for myself. I was nervous...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Finally have a heated steering wheel, media bin light, illuminated cupholders, and glove box light. Pretty straight forward job and everything seems to be working fine.
