    What did u do to your raptor today?

    It's mid-perch and I really like the ride. First thing I did was to run over some speed bumps and railroad tracks. Big Smile :)

    Got my Raptor some early Christmas Presents: - New tires all around - Installed rebuilt shocks from Forged Offroad (They did a great job) - Installed Geiser Springs with red powder coat (to match the Special Edition highlights).

    Who’s sold their Gen 1 during this market and hates the decision they made?

    Two weeks after I bought my Raptor new in 2014, a dealer spotted it in our Lowe’s parking lot and offered me $10k over what I paid. I knew I had a keeper. I’ve had my share of problems with the truck, which led me to start looking at new vehicles recently. The electric/hybrid options look...

    DIY 6.2 Spark Plug Change

    This is what I went with. I'm sure others would argue Motorcraft over NGK, but I've had good luck with NGK From Amazon: MSD wires in Red (B081G7V2BF) $89 Dielectric grease (B000AL8VD2) $7 Guteauto 510Pcs Car Retainer Clips Kit (B07QG32L8C) since I removed the wheel liners and broke...

    hill descent fault, service advancetrac, and no offroad mode

    BTW, how do I clear the Hill Descent error code now that it's fixed. I have ForScan and tried to reset the module, but the code is still there.

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    I really trust Bill Currie Ford, but this time they were just wrong. I know what you mean about the Florida heat, humidity and rain.

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    Follow Up... My local Ford Dealership charged me $200 to tell me "something is wrong" after 3 days in the shop. Duh! I gave them the code and noted cylinder #3 probably had a bad coil. Their reply was that the tech sheets said to replace the PCM module at $1542 plus labor, and that might not...

    DIY 6.2 Spark Plug Change

    I just finished installing the new coils, plug, and wires. All went very well, but it took me a few days to complete. (Florida rain, heat humidity, no garage, etc.) The information in this thread was invaluable and I gathered everything I needed before the job. Thanks!!! I definitely had at...

    White foam piece in fender

    This is an old thread, but I really appreciate the information/photo. I was completely puzzled after it fell out while replacing my lower sparkplugs.

    DIY 6.2 Spark Plug Change

    I've been getting some misfires, so it's time to change the plugs, wires, and coils. I have a stock 2014 6.2 with 108k miles. I'm just not sure of the brands and where to buy. Earlier in this thread, it was mentioned the prices vary widely depending on brand and I see the same thing. Please...

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    Thanks for the reply. I researched it and found likely ways to fix. Ford service couldn't diagnose it beyond what I already found on this forum. Probably plug/coils/sensor/ or even PCM unit.

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    Thanks @CoronaRaptor How big of a job is that, I've not done much engine work? I'm pretty handy and have the tools, but would be working in the Florida heat, (no garage). One the other hand, about how much would a dealership charge for coils/plugs?

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    Continuation of the story... Took it to the best service dealership I know in my area. Told them of the problems and that I suspected plugs/coils or sensor. They said, according to their TSB, I need to replace the PCM for $1540 and that might not fix the problem. Has anyone replaced the PCM...

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    I am still working this out too. I took MTF's advice and replaced the air filter and cleaned the MAS, but it came back. Then I replaced the MAS yesterday, and so far no codes. In FORSCAN, I ran On Board Diagnostic II test and it shows the Misfire count. I apparently am getting misfires on...

    hill descent fault, service advancetrac, and no offroad mode

    I wanted to add to this thread concerning the Hill Descent Control Fault / Service AdvanceTrac. I've been trying to track down a different problem PO6B6 Knock Detection, so today I replaced the MAS with one from Advanced Auto Parts. The Knock Detection went away, but I got the new problems. I...

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    A followup that I thought might be interesting. The PO6B6 came back with the engine light. It seemed to be running fine, but today I decided to replace the MAS with one from Advanced Auto Parts*. Well it sorta worked... I didn't get the PO6B6, but then the truck shifted into Hill Descent Mode...

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    The show was fantastic, except for the severe weather (70mph winds and hail was predicted), but it was just a heavy thunderstorm. I fly a Grumman Lynx (AA-1C). This was the Aeroshell Team at the night airshow.

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    Thanks for the info. I cleaned the Mass Air Flow sensor and it did need a new air filter. I hope that solves the problem.

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    I just got back from my trip. On the way back I used premium gas and monitored the shifting better. The light did come back on. Same code but only 1 event on cylinder #3. I need to learn a bit more about FORScan to properly dianose. An Ocala run sounds great!

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    Thanks for the advice. I cleared it by disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes. I have been using the Tow/Haul mode and will use 91 octane if available. Many places only have regular. I found Pilot/Flying J to be good for trailers. I really appreciate the help. You saved me a trip to the...

    GEN 1 Code P06B6

    I've just completed a 1300 mile trip from Florida to Oshkosh Airventure for the airshow. With 50 miles to go, I got a Check Engine light and my OBD gives a P06B6 Internal Control Module Knock Sensor code. Just about the time the light came on, my engine was struggling, pulling a heavy trailer...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Got out the bin of @AdamsPolishes and did a wash and wax. Still have more to do. Who needs a Gen 2 when it still looks this good. (And it's paid for).
