    2011 w/ 2.9l Stage 1 Whipple Surging issues

    If the Tuner you're using is using HPTuner software to do the Tune, I can tell you right now it's never going to work right. HPTuner never was able to correctly hack the SCT file format into HPTuner for "A Supercharged GEN I Raptor"!!! I believe there were three SC Raptors that generated their...

    Whipple 3.8L Supercharger Upgrade - Pics inside

    I don't know all the drive settings the SC R has, but I've seen videos of it launching without tire skip/slip. You'll probably have to use 4X4 not Auto and lock the rear and use sport mode and/or traction control all the way off. The E-locking rear gear will not disengage while under load, it...

    6.2L Leaking Coolant at the Thermostat Housing

    You have the right parts. It seems my 2010 1/2 came with the gasket that you insert around the thermostat. Which works well for me, I simply slip different thermostats in as needed. I could use the O-ring, but I believe I would have to buy a new O-ring every time I change the thermostat. OEM is...

    Oil Separator Catch Can

    I use the 5W-30 weight, switched about 6 years ago from 5W-20 It helped with gaining .5 mpg and reduced the 10 to 15 second valve tapping on startup. I have the large catch can from Moroso, I do not collect anything during summer months and just few ounces after the winter months. I also...

    Transmission thermostat/potential trans issue

    Not knowing how it was driven from the previous owner doesn't help. Not knowing what tune is on the truck doesn't help either. First, I would try and track down the Handheld Tuning device from seller. Or start calling, Whipple, JDM, 5-Star, Livernois and see if any of them made a Tune for the...

    New owner with troubles...

    Ford Dealer authorized alarm companies is what you want but they are not allowed to advertise. Going to the dealer and talking to a service manager and milking him for the info to get a number is possible!!! That's what I did. I was able to get the Ford Gold 6 button key fob alarm and starting...

    Daily driver roush raptor anyone???

    Yes mid-prech will make the ride slightly stiffer, new shocks will be stiffer for a few hundred miles as well. I never liked the boat like feeling of a stock Raptor, so for me any mods to increase stiffer ride and sway control is a big plus. Are you airing down the tires to 40 psi. at least. Now...

    HELP - Rear End Clunk/Pop (no not that one)

    Yes, yes, I saw your post after I posted my response. I will say, axle hop will damage areas you would never think of.

    HELP - Rear End Clunk/Pop (no not that one)

    Ha, Gumby posted a few minutes before I finished my post. I believe member @Gumby is talking about the factory horn bump stop bracket. When upgrading to Deavers or Icons that horn gets eliminated and the springs set on the axle plate. Having said that, they do make wedge plates to increase or...

    Daily driver roush raptor anyone???

    I can only suggest that before you torque everything up, the full weight of the truck needs to be on the springs. Also, I spray my leaf sprig packs with wire rope lube used for crane cables. It repeals water and dirt build up. Or something like motorcycle chain lube. Do not use any kind of...

    Rear End Noise - something new?

    Are you sure it's from the rear? I mean, I'm sure you can tell the difference between the noise coming from the front or the rear. But just mentioning it. Because, if it only happens when accelerating... it could be the IWE. You may just have a small enough vacuum leak that the IWE is just...

    Rear End Noise - something new?

    You didn't say what type of noise, so I'll just post what happened to me, hopefully it might help. I have a video of the noise from the rearend when I had to replace every bearing in the pumpkin including the pinion bearing. The outer axle bearings were fine. Luckly warranty covered the cost to...

    2013 SVT Rotor/brakes/calipers sticking?

    Highly recommended, also a supporting vendor on here. Their brake upgrade package is outstanding as well!!! https://freedommotorsports.com/ford/2009-2014-f-series/f150/brake-upgrades/ford-raptor-svt-custom-stainless-braided-brake-line-kit/...

    GEN 1 Lift Shackles with Add a Leaf Setup

    Yeah, good luck. Stock leaf springs are garbage, no matter what you try to add, results will be poor. And having the bump stop hit axle tube is just asking for trouble. Then adding longer shackles is going to give you more rear end sway movement. I see you're looking for longer shackles thinking...

    New throttle body brand available

    That's good but the issue is drivability not wide-open throttle. I hope it works great for you; it would be a first on this forum. And to see real data on how much it gains in rwhp.
