Same with mine. Still running perfectly with no issues, so don't have a reason to jank the drivetrain apart. Just upgrading things as time goes on until I get to the point of needing to make large jumps. lol
Part of me thinks it would be worth going the 6.6 Livernois engine route with a Whipple on it. I'm assuming you could probably make 700+ on it without much issue.
Recently added the Full Race trans cooler and was thinking maybe there might be some other transmission upgrades that might be worth it. Was looking at aftermarket dipstick setups to be able to check the fluid from the engine bay instead of having to crawl underneath. Also wondering if an...
I had completely forgotten about these things, but during my radiator install I remember that I had removed them at one point because they were badly deteriorated and ripped. Did some searching around and some people used their old ones as a template to make new ones from rubber mat from Menards...
Deavers from what I had read from people seemed to be a no-brainer, and Geisers for sure if you were running stock shocks. I have the RPG rod ends to clear the Alcon brakes in the front. Stock tie rod ends too close for comfort to the rotors. Haha As far as the shocks I just hadn't done a ton of...
Starting my research on upgrading the suspension on my Gen 1. Suspension is currently stock minus top perch, a small lift block in the rear, RPG outer tie rod ends, 37x13.50x17 tires, and Roadmaster Active Suspension. Don't necessarily need anything insane, but definitely will spend the money on...
The upgraded screen is the big thing I would want for sure. The 8" screen with Sync 4 in my base 22 F-150 is much nicer than the Sync 3 setup in my 13 Flex.
Will also comment that it will still not allow things like video in motion unless there's a way to jailbreak it. I have Sync 4 in my 22 F-150 and it's definitely a lot better than Sync 2 or Sync 3.
That's a Sync 4 setup, and I have never seen a conversion kit that would allow a 12" screen to fit on a Gen 1 Raptor like that. I know it's possible to go from Sync 2 to Sync 3, but that's because the screen size is the same and drops right into the Sync 2 spot. I did the conversion on my 13...
Got the Fullrace radiator and trans cooler installed. Perfect fit into stock provisions without having to mess around with anything at all. Very nice quality, would highly recommend!
Turns out the unit I got was in fact the incorrect unit. Looks like it was probably for a Sync 1 vehicle that didn't have an APIM. I went back and forth with the company on Aliexpress and also sent messages to their website with no reply. They kept trying to tell me it was the correct unit for...
Still going back and forth with the company at this point. Probably will just have to file a chargeback on it as it's clearly the wrong unit after looking at the install instructions.
That's also why they are 1/3rd of the price of other options too, even though they are made the same way, or better. I wouldn't run their super light race brakes on something I pull trailers with, but I wouldn't have any issue running those 6 piston setups.
Cheaper brake upgrade is just to do some better pads and rotors. Outside of that it depends on what size wheel you wanna run. I think Alcon is the only company making a kit that fits under 17's besides TBM.
For those guys wondering, there's now a brake kit on the market from TBM outside of their "race" brakes.

I would be curious to know how they stack up to the other brake options currently.
