    We have to talk about CV Axles.....

    There will always be a few that have issues for whatever reasons but that is not the norm. I could say I was on mid-perch for 13 years still have original shafts and boots. Now, I never went off-roading or drove through water that could get into the IWE if the seals were compromised. I Never...

    We have to talk about CV Axles.....

    I may be wrong here, but I think not all Gen 2s have a single perch setting. Or it could be when guys are rebuilding shocks there is an option to change the body for the three perches.

    We have to talk about CV Axles.....

    Mid-perch is not a lifted truck!!!! Ford designed the Raptor for Mid-perch but federal law requires the front bumper to be a certain height. So. Ford had to set them at bottom perch. I personally hated bottom perch, too much nose diving in turns and stopping. Other than the IWE-delete, maybe...

    I bought this in 2019 when I received a letter that it will be the last Map for my year. Served me pretty well till 2024...

    2014 gen 1 performance mods

    Those are engine bench numbers, I am talking about truck sitting on a dyno with different octane. So your comment was unnecessary. But I did forget about that in the manual I read 14 years ago, thanks for sharing.

    2014 gen 1 performance mods

    No one has done a dyno with just different octanes with a Raptor on here. The PCM does a good job with timing when using different octanes, having said that, most of us do feel the difference. HP numbers were always slightly higher when using 93 octane.

    2014 gen 1 performance mods

    Frist off, 411HP is FWHP and 400 ft-lbs. of torque (at the crank) with 91 octane is according to Ford's advertised numbers. And putting the truck in off-road mode does not change the HP!!!! That is a myth. The numbers I posted are from real dyno numbers from quite a few members on here starting...

    5.0 swap vs building the 6.2

    Going down from 378 cui. to a 302 cui. is not going to give you big power without a Whipple SC It's the Tune calibration strategy for the PCM that will prevent you for doing this. A few have tried, but never got it to work right. You can search the web for it. You basically have to rip out most...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Loaded her up this evening and is on her way to new owner! Funny, I received the truck one week before Thanksgiving 2010 and now sent her to new owner two weeks before Thanksgiving 2024.

    2014 gen 1 performance mods

    This section is for the 5.4L !!!! You need to scroll down one more for the 6.2L section. But, 50 (RWHP) over stock is the very very high end with 93 octane. The torque won't be as much though. I believe only one Raptor achieved that but was using E30 or E85 200+ HP (RWHP) with the stage II...

    Got 99 problems and my Gen 1 is 1

    I want to add some more things for you to check. Check for corrosion of the pins in the connections for the Throttle body and...... Most importantly check the three PCM connections and I mean both sides of the plugs. While the pins may look good, you need to open the back of the plugs and check...

    GEN 1 Daily Driving with Supercharger

    Alright, I'll answer. Ford Motor Company never built a Roush Raptor or a Whippled Raptor. Roush would buy Raptors direct from Ford and then add their stuff, these then become serialized Roush Raptors. Now for the pinion seal, more HP does not make the pinion seal go bad. If your bearings (all...

    Got 99 problems and my Gen 1 is 1

    Just a little FYI, early 2011 had cam shaft issues and would start galling between lobes and rockers. But like most suggest. unmetered air and/or exhaust leak, dirty MAF sensor and weak O2 sensors, weak battery, bad fuel and/or water in the tank, low octane, etc... will produce misfires. A...

    2013 Roush Raptor - Misfire under load

    Yeah, good catch, OP said "gapped to specs", don't know what that means but Supercharged 6.2L needs to be .28 Factory gap is like .40, supercharger would just blow out the spark. Also, a weak battery even if it's a new one will produce misfires. It needs to be 13-13.2 or higher (but on lower...

    Throttle body

    Livernois has a proprietary Tune for the cams it cannot be duplicated. Many Tuning shops have tried, sorry for being so negative. Just do the research before wasting your money. Ford encrypted the back half of the Tune which is not editable. HP Tuners software cannot properly Tune the Gen 1...

    Throttle body

    Do your research here on those BBK TB. Don't waste your money on the BBK TB, the stock TB is more than enough. Plus, no one has ever got them to run right. I think there are two used ones for sale on the forum. If you are really going to do the Livernois cams, then you will need to use...

    2012 Knock/Chirp on cold start

    @vtwinjunkie You should be waiting a few seconds before turning key to start. The truck goes through a quick series of checks and it will give the fuel pump the few seconds it needs to properly achieve fuel line pressure. If you have remote start you can listen to all the things clicking...

    Just installed Whipple 3.8L on my 2024 R

    Vin# and Calibration Strategy Codes from the top of the PCM are both needed to build the Tune.
