That is a SICK build Routt!! Thanks for the tease! Your truck is of the type that a feature magazine could cover in a major article!

Well I didn't mean bailing wire and duct tape Rico, just a happy medium between gold bullion and Wal Mart ;). Bigger bang for the buck! Brakes are simple; I do my own work, so shop labor is cheap but not easy... If I'd never heard of Brembo or Alcon, I'd swear $1,800 was a LOT to pay for a...

Outstanding Slideways, congrats!! Give us the deets; how many miles? Where'd you get it? How long has the Whipple been on? If you could share the price too that'd be coo. How do you like those Lock wheels? Whole rig looks great! Shoot pics of the Fox 3.0's, suspension and springs for us...

This right here is what I'm thinkin'. My Raptor has 136k, needs plugs, but runs like a ***** ape. I'd say the idle isn't as smooth as I'd like, but that could be the cam, firing order, etc. I'm being picky, it's not a 'miss', but you can hear it's not dead smooth. I'm about to change the plugs...

So I'm getting ready to do a front brake job on my 2014 Raptor Screw. I've always wanted to upgrade the brakes, so since the time has come, I'd like to hear what some of you have done to upgrade your brakes on a budget, for example, increased the rotor diameter and relocated the stock caliper...

I'll have to try lowering my air pressures. I jacked 'em up cuz I like my tires firm like my women :p !! JK. When I bought my truck last year my tires were worn on both outside edges, and the tire pressure was 27 lbs! I went up over 40, 44 to wear the centers back down so that could be a little...

Ok GordoJay, you're the FIRST to describe that benefit; the Raptor sideways hop cured by Deavers?! I've got a stock sprung Gen 1 and know my springs are old like the OP, and I've done that Raptor hop and been real concerned if I was turning hard and on the throttle the truck could snap oversteer...

While you're here and we're on this topic, I've got a 2014 Screw that is positive for this recall. The ford site says 'recall incomplete' with the yellow triangle. My truck shifts fantastic especially after loading a 5 Star 91 octane performance tune, which definitely improved the shifting. Does...

Banks sells a screen like this that fits the filter perfectly. I went for that option to increase service intervals, I'll have to take it off and see if I can feel it in the seat of my pants...

Ok good point. I'll get you some pics so you can see what the Banks CAI looks like in relation to your intake.

Does the whipple intake tube go to a 'filter on a stick' K&N style filter in the factory airbox location? If you could post a pic, I'll do the same and you can compare? What's your purpose for doing this Banks hybrid to Whipple sc? Is yours restrictive?

Bought and installed this Banks CAI on my 6.2 L Screw. Got it fast here in CA, in 2 days. I too had great results with this CAI on my duramax diesel, so I gave Gale another try with the Raptor. Kinda bugs me but this is the second time the Banks ad pictures show raised white letters and it...

Is there an interference between the valves and the pistons on our engines? Is a broken valve spring usually catastrophic? Can you recommend a source or brand for high quality valve springs, and lash adjusters for that matter? I'd like to put in better ones than Ford did.....

Hey FTO, if I'm in there replacing the lash adjusters, should I also do anything else, preventatively, like change the valve springs? I'm at 133k miles and I'd like to keep this truck forever, so using high quality replacement parts is key, so if you can recommend specific lash parts I'd...

Lol, not available on the Left coast ;)! It's not pinging, my ear is well tuned to that sound. I'm just talkin' about the first few seconds after startup, I'm remote starting, walking up to it and I can hear it quiet down in 2-3 seconds as oil pressure builds.

FYI, there are differences in synthetic oils, and quite significant ones related to wear! Project Farm just did a great 'no sponsor' shootout, it's about the least biased test you'll find. If you're keeping your Raptor you don't want to miss this! If the link is removed, lookup 'Amsoil or...

I've got the 5 star 91 performance tune in my 2014 and the cold 2-3 shift is softer now. I'm used to it so until the temp gauge comes up I drive easy off the line. Overall completely love that tune. Within a block or two the shift is fine. Lol that tells me the issue is in the programming, cuz...

Thank you Car Stereo! I've still not worked on this problem. Never realized how convenient remote lock/unlock is until it's gone!

I'll give that a try. Ya think I can carefully lift that big driver's switch out of it's hole with plastic interior tools or do I need to tear down the whole interior door panel? Lol, no big deal if it's the latter, last sunday I spent the day dropping my Rap's headliner and installing the...

My Raptor Screw eats Priuses for BREAKFAST ;) :D :cool:!!

Could the bad driver's switch keep the whole door lock system from working? Are they wired in series? I checked fuses and the wires for breakage in the door jam, but nada. Could be the solenoid, if there is one?

Those Methods are definitely clear coated aluminum, and that's a clear coat issue. Raw alum does not get crazing like that, it just gets dull and you can easily polish the dull out. ...and that's the ONLY benefit of raw alum, I agree with what Old Raptor Guy said, "One of the worst things I ever...

Does anyone have experience using an Accusump on our 6.2L engines? Mine makes a little clatter on startup and it goes away quick. Would the preluber just hide the symptom and not fix the problem; excessive valvetrain lash as FordTechOne said?

Hahaha!! Lol you guys are killin' me! Pic is a riot :D! I'm not sellin' my oem 17" SVC beadlocks, aamof, just for you guys, on my next set of new tires, I'll go back to my 17's and see what I like best. Since my Duramax got totalled last month I've got a set of beautiful 95% new 35/12.50R20...

I'm going totally off heresay, Raptor friends and forums Augster, and I thank you for this info! That -13 was my erroneous calculation using the online calculator. I like your real-world experience way better! Same for the SVC uca info. I heard RPG also had a 1.5" uniball option from a friend...
