    DIY Naturally Aspirated 6.2L Build

    GEN 1 Best dead pedal

    I'm considering the cravenspeed dead pedal... I would recommend anyone doing so to use close ended rivet nuts for any interior install where drilled holes are required (don't use sheet metal screws plz)... makes it very easy to prevent rust and prevent fluid/gas leakage into people space, and if...

    DIY Naturally Aspirated 6.2L Build

    I looked into it, also spoke with darton and a couple of their tier one shops about feasibility of a darton MID type sleeve in a 6.2 block (this would be magic when you look at the bore spacing on the 6.2, the damn water jacket around each cylinder ruins it). When you look at the livernois kit...

    DIY Naturally Aspirated 6.2L Build

    Spoke with Manley directly, they manufacture in batches of 10 sets of rods, one of which is the set I ordered via Summit. Based on the backlog of machine work they have going on, they estimated 6-7 more weeks before the batch clears machining and is ready for shipment... not the news I was...

    GEN 1 2010-2014 Raptor paddle shifter backfit from EcoPowerParts

    As a by the way, the inflator module, i.e. airbag, was on nationwide backorder for the better part of two months. Everything else was immediately available out of the supply system. So look at inflator module availability before you order the oem parts. To do it again, I would have ordered the...

    GEN 1 2010-2014 Raptor paddle shifter backfit from EcoPowerParts

    In the vendor thread above there was a bunch of discussion about utilizing the heated steering wheel functionality (that the new steering wheel has) which is precluded by the number of available pins in the clock spring... of note, the smaller plug in my first picture, located right below the...

    Steering wheel shaking and vibration

    When did you swap springs... While progressive these springs are not softer in my experience, their magic off-road, but they give my raptor a bit of an f250 ride over road irregularities but if you take a railroad crossing at speed, in SC they are like jumps, they are magic on landing... If the...
