    Raptor R vs TRX Drag Race

    You can't make a flat plane crank not be a flat plane by tuning. It's just how they are. Flat Plane Crankshaft Advantages: Lighter, more compact, more responsive (high-revving), better exhaust scavenging. Flat Plane Crankshaft Disadvantages: Prone to vibration, lower torque levels.

    Raptor R vs TRX Drag Race

    Go back and actually read what he wrote instead of just repeating your same line. He said, "water down the Raptor by offering the 5.0 from the standard F-150 that is significantly slower and less fuel efficient". Why just make stuff up?

    Raptor R vs TRX Drag Race

    Actually it doesn't and all turbos don't have noticeable turbo lag! A turbo engine having different power characteristics from a normally aspirated engine does not equate to everything with a turbo having turbo lag. Throttle sensitivity is not the same as turbo lag. Get in a stock G2 Raptor in...

    Raptor R vs TRX Drag Race

    I'm guessing you have never driven a G2. How the heck can you say it has bad turbo lag? If you think this 3.5 has turbo lag, then you really don't understand what turbo lag is. That engine DOES NOT have turbo lag. Do I think it sounds cool? No. Do I care? No. I'm happy with it being quiet. If...

    Service-Warranty ?

    I am very insulted by that accusation. I dump it in the farmers field behind my house, like you are supposed to!!!! :cool:

    Service-Warranty ?

    I prefer to do my own oil changes and rotations, also at 5k like you said. If you get a Fumoto oil drain valve it makes it a lot easier and much less messy. Congrats on the new truck, it sounds like winning the lottery recently.

    Sync 3 Black screen

    I'm guessing the Cyber Police caught wind of your shenanigans and disabled your system as punishment. Sometimes if you call them up and give them your credit card info they will fix it for you.

    Question on stereo/sync system??

    I thought I would post the solution I found in case anyone else runs into this. I ended up deleting/resetting the "Media index" in the Sync system and afterwards it hasn't acted up anymore. It only takes 2 minutes once you know that's the issue. This is the same fix if you add new music to the...

    Can Ford excessive prevent ADMs?

    From what I have seen the dealers are more than willing and happy to jam it to whomever they can. I thought it was actually going to mean something when Farley said he was going to put a stop to the crazy ADM's. When you see dealers actively advertising ridiculous ADM's, it's a pretty clear...

    Fluid Film & Sand

    Go to a commercial spray and wash and use the hot water spray. You need the hot water. That's how the pro shops do it, a hot water pressure washer.

    Wanted: Raptor R

    I thought Jim Farley at Ford was not allowing dealers to have ADM's or they would be in BIG trouble? I guess that edict didn't last too long. :happy175:

    Fog lights - 4 Fogs or 2 Fogs w/ 2 others?

    I have all white and am very happy with that. I haven't had the opportunity to drive in really bad fog with them yet, but I've been in some serious snowstorms and the white was fine. I like that the white is a little better when you don't have the fog. On the BD you can get a snap on yellow...

    Fog lights - 4 Fogs or 2 Fogs w/ 2 others?

    Fogs and a pair of Combo's would be my pick. I never heard of Lasfit. I'm a big Baja Designs fan. Most guys go with either BD or Rigid.

    Fall Colors…Post ‘‘em Up

    I know it's late fall when the non-resident geese start coming through on their way south. There are a few flocks of both Canadian geese, and snow geese, that stay around here most of the year. They are probably afraid of catching covid if they travel.

    My ears are hurting - B&O sound system goes crazy - *safety issue*

    What a REALLY weird issue! Hopefully this gets sorted for you guys soon. Sounds like a deeply buried software/firmware issue.
