    2023 Raptor Assault

    I was going to try and coordinate with a work trip my wife has to the area in March but the decided to go the middle of the month rather than the end. I think we are to just plan a trip independently and stop to see some friends that we Jeep/Offroad with that live a couple hours away. I will...

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    I am glad I am not the only one that got my arse kicked by that cover. :)

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    I use Chemical Guys Mr.Pink and it works really well with my generic foam cannon to cut through the Mag Chloride that CO uses on the roads in the winter.

    Are the Gen 3's an overall Quality Issue? Prior Gen 2 owner, considering bailing on order.

    I am in the zero issues group after 5k so far. I could not be happier. Never been in a Gen 2 but we have had our Gen 1 since 2014. One thing that I see as a trend across the automotive and motorcycle forum communities is that the people with issues are much more vocal (this is not necessarily...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    LOL, I washed and detailed mine the day before as well.

    Real world MPG

    I have a theory about your theory that might just be relevant to me... In normal or quiet mode, I drive MUCH less aggressively than I do when I can hear the exhaust sing!

    Real world MPG

    After almost 5k miles, I will jump in and say that my current path is just about half/half town/hwy. I will also say that I drive with about the same half/half mix of calm and aggressive. I am hovering right around 16.6 mpg overall running 91 oct at 6k-7k elevation with COBB Accessport and a...

    Bluecruise in 2023 Ford Raptor

    I have only played with it a little, but it seems to keep me pretty well centered if I activate it in the center of the lane. Not a huge fan of the lane keeping but am very pleased with the adaptive cruise. It seems smoother than any other system I have experienced. That being said, when some...

    Unable to open upper glove box...

    The only reason I knew it was there was because my salesman showed us the day I picked it up. :) Otherwise, I wouldn't have known there was a space there at all. Anyway, I fiddled with is some more. Held the button down while pushing the door and releasing it. It finally opened and there...

    Unable to open upper glove box...

    Thank you. I hit that and it won't open or allow me to force it open. I will keep messing with it. I would rather it be broken closed that broken open. :)

    Unable to open upper glove box...

    Would someone mind posting pictures of the latching mechanism of an open upper glove box? I can't get mine open and am afraid to pry on it and break it. I believe something is in there keeping it from opening and I don't remember where the latch is or how it worked. Thanks!

    Best way to find offroad trails

    We have been members of the Mile Hi Jeep Club since we moved here about 6 years ago and learned the trails running with the club in the beginning. I would strongly recommend keeping this book in your truck as you travel around the state as a quick reference and for planning trips. Fairly...

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    Howa bouta nother HUGE endorsement for Winfield (Goose)?!?!?! We finished my tune up this week and I could not be happier! Seriously feels like a different truck. It pulls hard everywhere but the bottom and mid-range are a significant improvement. In addition, I can't imagine anyone...

    Gen 3-Fun Facts

    Thanks, I run in manual pretty often and see the indicator at the bottom of the screen but still haven't been able to get it in the tach gauge center. Maybe what I saw was in one of the new Ranger Raptor videos. Who knows?

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    I am working with Goose now and could not be happier. He waits for me to get him datalogs MUCH longer than I wait for him to get me a new tune file. :) Zero issues so far and I don't expect any. I think we are pretty close to the final file but I am going to leave that completely up to...

    Mileage at Delivery

    Mine had 21 or 22 when it rolled off the delivery trailer at the dealership. I assume most of the miles were to get the bedliner installed and normal movement. It did sit on "chip hold' for about 45 days or so. My salesman called me as they were unloading it and approved the FordPass request...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    It probably would work. I haven't done any research on cleaning that material.

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Living in CO, if you don't have chips and cracks in your windshield, you don't drive it. HOWEVER, that would have cost me a pair for Fruit-o-the-Looms and an Alcantara cleaning bill!

    Gen 3-Fun Facts

    I just got my letter for RaptorAssault yesterday. I think I will be going out there in late spring. My wife needs to go out that way for work too so we may coordinate with that trip. Quick question for the group... is there a way to put the current gear selection in the center of the tach...

    Snow chains

    I run 35s on my Jeep and my Gen 1 Raptor. When we travel around the mountain passes (often) I have one set of chains that I move back and forth between them. Never taken them out of the bag but like having them. I have also never used my survival kits I keep in the trucks/Jeep but won't travel...

    Gen 3-Fun Facts

    Congratulations and welcome! I think this is a great idea for a thread. There were things on my Gen 1 that I didn't know about for quite a while and there was a limited information base to draw on and almost no publish how to info. I would add that the Gen 1 is also quite the Neanderthal...

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    Tracking all and along the lines of what I was thinking. Lots of code and lots of tunes to allow for the dynamic nature of the fuel. Thanks. It was a blast and likely the only car I have sold that I wish I still had!

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    So, all that brings up long term planning questions for me. I see moving to the E50 tune in the near future and blending. I really don't have a problem with any of that effort. But then I think about a fuel pump and injectors... and an inline E sensor to prep for running E85. Does that pave...
