Recently pulled from my 2013 when I upgraded to the 14.4" Android 13 setup. Only works for 13-14 Sync 2 trucks, originally purchased from Phoenix Automotive. Besides the touch portion no longer working this unit works excellent, has all the updated custom firmware, has an anti-glare screen...
Based on the rotor size I would imagine that they are a specific fit made for the truck to clear 17" wheels and calipers. The pads though probably don't need to be Alcon specific, since a lot of the brake manufacturers will use various calipers on different vehicles. You would need to ask Alcon...
Sure, but if the thermostat is keeping it above 200 degrees, or higher, what's the benefit of having it? The fluid is still going to warm up to temperature, especially if it's running through the radiator cooler.
Honestly, I feel like the Raptor R SHOULD have them stock, and it should at least be an option for the regular Raptor models. Doesn't make sense having this high performance truck with the same brakes that a base model F-150 has.
Longer term review on the Alcons - had to make some adjustments on a couple things to prevent some small noises.
On the rear the inside lip of the rotor where the parking brake shoes are would rub the dust shield where it stuck out. I'm not sure why Alcon doesn't just have you trim the dust...
Now that I've got the Full Race radiator, Full Race transmission cooler, and the new radiator air deflectors I figured I could post a picture so people could see the setup. :)

Probably the dead giveaway that it's the incorrect unit is the fact there's no socket for the APIM to bolt to on the back of the unit, and also that it didn't come with brackets to relocate the DSP module (CD receiver) down further in the radio pocket. Looking at the harness I'm...
New setup came in yesterday and dove into it. The truck already had an Android 9 PX6 unit in it that I installed about 4 years ago and has been working perfectly, minus that the digitizer in the screen died and I had to use an external mouse to run it. I also still have the incorrect unit that...
Looking at another thread, it's recommended to remove the thermostat above the valve body if you're running a larger cooler. Looks like the thermostat bypass and the service kit for doing it can be found here:

Sorry, a slightly taller block than the stock one. That's not my concern at this point though because I plan to change leaf springs and potentially block back there anyways.
The deflectors came in today and I got them installed onto the truck. I wasn't able to use the lower one on the driver side and had to trim the bottom of the passenger side one since I don't have a factory bumper setup. The frame cut bumper doesn't have the mounting locations for the push pins...
Did some more looking around about the dipstick. Lokar used to make one that came with a nice bracket setup. I believe Performance Automatic sold the same one, just rebranded. Unfortunately neither are available anymore. It looks like the option is either the B&M one, or the knock-off B&M one...
Leaning more towards the aFe pan at this point since it holds 7 quarts over stock, which is the most out of any aftermarket pan out there.

You can, it's just really slow compared to the normal fill method. I've filled them through those tubes on other trucks with a similar setup, like LS swapped stuff.
