    Radio Interface Gen2 has gotten sluggish non responsive?--Anyone else?

    My 017 Gen 2 has the high end radio stereo option (802A?) up till last week everything was fine. Then I noticed Nav would lose lock, NO GPS indicator came on on screen..a complete shut down restart got that back. Bluetooth locks up and music stops playing with long gaps, but even with...

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    Let me dig up the info, . Basically everything was off the shelf except I had to fab upper brackets from 1/4" thick steel angle iron and weld the upper bag mounts to that. I used 5/8" bolts thru existing frame holes to secure the bracket to the frame. Removed the stock jounce bumpers.

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    Yea it is over spec...I bought a TW scale and its about 900 lb (pending on the trailer load placement and how big the bikes are) which is extremely heavy TW. Truck is rated lower than that. But even when the trailer is empty and "more Balanced" coming in at about 700 lb the truck squats...and...

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    Mikeparker, my sentiments exactly re all purpose. The hardcore traditionalist here think you need a "Purpose Built truck" for hauling and another for jumping..mine does everything now with the airbags I put on and I had it way off the ground today at a pretty far leap as well. I couldnt find...

    Engine Ping on accelleration? anyone else?

    I took it relatively easy on the GEN2 thru the 1st oil cycle, now on 2nd oil change and driving with the foot more into it. Disabled the Fake engine noise and I can hear (More than once) Detonation ping on heavy acceleration, usually while its shifting 1st thru 4th. I'm running Sunoco 93...

    Running with only Parking lights during day?

    Before any one Forscans you back up all the modules (code) as it was built, if you have to take it in you reload the orig code and the Shop never knows the code was altered.... no chance of warranty issue doing that way

    Running with only Parking lights during day?

    Time to invest in Forscan! I looked thru the elex manual and messing with any of the wires or connectors most surely will blow a module, as everything is driven with FETs which are very sensitive to current draw and current direction....glad a software fix surfaced!

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    So in your internet rage you tell people that using the truck for its intended purpose is dumb, trivial, whatever you want to call it. Grow some thicker skin cupcake. Id bet only 10% of Raptor owners use this "Purpose Built Truck" for desert racing and jumping sand piles! "Waite! Honey can I...

    Anyone else seeing thier radio and display completely rest while driving?

    This has happened 3 times so far while driving down the road. All random though last when I hit a small bump, the radio 802A display completely goes blank, all music or media stops and it resets with the turn on screen that says RAPTOR? Anyone else see this or seen a link discussing it?
