My dealer did not. They had an allocation for ONE Raptor and 37 package delays prompted them to order the 34's ....so I took the one they got and to tell you the truth, I am happy I did. I was pretty bummed about not getting the Recaro blue and 37" tires but the 34's are a massive tire on their...

That is verbatim from the Ford service manual....and in reading it, I think you are correct. I have always pulled the fuses as an additional precaution. I did an airbag system replacement on a 2017 F250 awhile back, it had less than 2000 miles on it. First problem...actually finding any parts to...

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering Depower WARNING: Incorrect repair techniques or actions can cause an accidental Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) deployment. Never compromise or depart from these instructions. Failure to precisely follow all instructions could result in...

I would suggest further investigation. Most airbag systems have a "stored energy" system that can deploy the airbags even with the battery disconnected.

I can't state this as fact but just a gut feeling after driving hundreds of rigs over the last 40+ years. It seems to me something Ford did to make it feel more powerful. They changed the mapping on the throttle curve. In the ole days with carbs and mechanical linkage, 1/4 throttle meant the...

must have scared him off.....photo and profile gone! ....oh so sorry! but we poke fun here. As Leghorn Foghorn would say "That's a joke son! Get it?"

My wife will be traveling with me on the drive there and back but leaving the kids with friends. Driving 7+ hours in a rig with children would not be fun at all. We will take a couple of days extra to explore a bit of the off road goodies in the area. Granted, I have everything from mountains to...

...a shop won't help. I have a 60x40 two bay shop just for projects like this .....but it is FULL of a VW restoration and a Jimmy engine transplant + a complete machine shop.

the plate looks like metal. Going to paint it or "other ideas"? ....nice looking job so far btw.

Starting to look like the 2021 Gen 3 Raptors ended up being the rare bird. I don't know numbers or the dates for the first and last. Mine has to be pretty close to one of the last 21's off the line as everything I have seen posted since came marked as 22's and seems prices are coming down as well.

applied some graphics. I like the look but am not impressed with the quality of the vinyl.

Damned, I feel really lucky about now. I probably got close to the last 21 Raptor built but "knock on wood" so far....no gremlins. The only item on the "things to check on new gen3's list" that was a hit for me sort of (no problem noted) was the recall on the heat shield.

After watching a couple factory videos of the Dearborn plant. One thing not addressed. All F-150 models are intermixed. As they come off the line, one might be a King Ranch then an FX4 followed by a Raptor. How the hell do they do that and still crank out one ever 53 seconds?

Found this and thought it fun to watch: (no Raptors were harmed in the making of this film)

....I don't think that is the problem but I will check it out. Here is what went down. Rain sense working. I used Forscan, first to backup every module it found, second, mod for adaptive headlights (worked awesome!) but rain sense now is gone. Coincidence? Did I flip something I didn't mean to...

Sorry if I missed it, but has anyone asked the "dealer" if this is possible? I am waiting for a rain sensor to arrive at my dealer. If it gets here soonest, I will ask.

Another thought, the valves the rebuilder used may have an independent warranty. With a stock cam snapping valve heads off should not have been a problem.

Great! BD! See you there.

I drove the family over the mountain to visit sister whom has a nasty Sarcoma eating at her and she has just a few weeks left. On the way back I got drowsy and told the wife to take over driving when i get stopped. What do I get? The normal tease.. "oh, your gonna let me drive your precious?"...

Seems impossible to get good sun photos....so! Went and took some snow shots. While you here. Check out that sunset sky in the background.

Raptor Assault May 25-26 May 2022. Registered and ready!

Right around $1100 with all the goodies https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/what-did-u-do-to-your-raptor-today.25089/post-1756587

yup, it appears no rhyme or reason to Ford. Mine was built 11/21 delivered 24th Feb and it's marked as a 2021.

You may have already done these steps but just in case. Get a buddy to sit in the truck and gently rock the steering back and forth not exceeding the lash. This is done with engine off. follow the steering shaft as it exits the cab and check each part along the shaft for play. Example: check the...
