Yes - I do have RPG traction bars. Never really adjusted them since I had them put on. With how they are set, I don’t have any wheel hop or axle wrap. Truck night is 7/22. I’ll post videos and my best time slip.

FTO - You’ve given me some really good input on questions that I have asked on here. I didn’t build my truck to race. A stock raptor is supposed to run the 1/4 mile around 15.4 sec at 91 mph. I want to see how my truck compares. I’ve spent a stupid amount of money on the performance side of my...

Thanks for the input. Launch in 4 hi, then flip to 2 hi when I get out of the hole? My initial thought was to try 2 hi with rear diff locked in. If I got wheel spin I was just going to feather the throttle. I can try a few configurations and see what happens. I have been to the track and...

Yes sir. 6.6 with 2.9L whipple pushing close to 18 psi boost on E85 Transmission is built by Ms racing in FL. Aluminum drive shaft from Axle exchange. The rest is oem until something gives up.

On 7/22, a semi-local drag strip has their truck night races. I'm going to take my raptor and just see what it will do. Looking for any tips and suggestions. I could launch in 2nd gear. Thoughts on that? I would assume that I should lock the rear differential and run it that way? My torque...

I'll give input to the OP. I put a whipple on stock motor at 80K. I went with the stage 2 from JDM. They had a smaller pulley in the box, so I stuck that on the whipple. Bad move. Between the added boost and pulling a trailer, I blew the rings off of one of my pistons. Drove it on 7...

So I read a few of the threads about the notorious driveline clunk. I've had it ever since I changed out the drive shaft for one from Axle Exchange. I took my drive shaft off this weekend and filled inside of the splined end with grease and re-installed. Clunk gone. The shop that last...

80% of the diesel trucks running last year were driven by the 20 something kids that had them tuned and deleted. They were pulling some 15 and 16 second 1/4 ET's and thought they were fast. They did have a few diesels that laid down some 10's - but they were totally setup for drag racing.

So with my transmission built now, I foresee next problem areas either transfer case or rear end. Has anyone blew up a transfer case? I see that SDHQ is a go to for the rear end. Any other suggestions to hold the power level on my truck with the drive line? I have my truck back in the shop...

Circle D may be more than 2 months all said and done. That number was based on customers ahead of me and lead time to order parts once order is placed. MS Racing is quicker on getting the parts. Depends on their race schedules to how quickly they get it done. Parts with MS Racing took about 2...

For what it’s worth - torque converter from Circle D stalls at about 1800 rpms

Upgrade the transmission and torque converter. You are going to have to at some point. Caveat is the transmission portion will take you about 2 months.

A couple of months ago, I pulled a 20’ car trailer loaded with a 4500 lb car on the trailer. When I pulled the car up on the trailer where I would normally park, the shocks on my raptor were squatting bad. I have the Fox 3.0’s on the rear. Only have 2000 miles on the shocks. My springs are...

I did get my truck back yesterday. Got the PCM updated to the new strategy code for the valve body. All seems good for now. Drove it about 50 miles. I'm going to try and get about 150 miles under it, then check fluids, and if all is good, give her hell. One other thing to note on the...

Even though the TCCM is separate from the PCM control of the transmission, they do share the same wiring harness. The charred wires explain why I saw the faults in Forscan. For what it’s worth, the harness has two male plugs that hold the harness on the front and back of the transmission. Both...

Eh - $4500 for stage 2 rebuild that will handle up to 1200 RWHP. Through MS Racing, that price includes the billet shafts. Through circle D, those are add ons to the $4500 from them. New torque converter through circle D - $1200 R&R on transmission - $1250 New valve body and oil pump was an...

Harness from Ford is $250. The mechanic opened up the bundle and said there is no insulation on the wires in the area that was sitting on the header. Said that it would be at the ford dealer on Friday, 6/9, so MAYBE i can still get it back end of day tomorrow.

Well I just got a kick in the groin. The repair shop called me and asked that I come by. They found an electrical issue that they wanted to show me. Check out the attached picture. The transmission harness was laying on top of the header tube. It had a nice U shape from where it had been...

The shop did get my truck moved in to start working on Today. My original goal was to have it back on the road by 6/15. It's looking like I'm still on track to beat that by a few days. As soon as I get it back, I have parts to install. Blitkrieg UCA's, Blitzkrieg tie rod kit, ball joints...

Update: I finally got my transmission delivered to the repair shop today and dropped off my torque converter. Shipped via Uship, which subbed the order to YRC or Yellow. Shipped 5/24 with expected delivery of 5/31. I had to go pick it up from a depot about 1.5 hr away or it would not have...

Update: Transmission got tore down on Monday. No obvious signs of anything being broken. They highly suspect the valve body and the oil pump was getting to be in bad shape. Replaced the valve body and oil pump. That added $1265. They suggested new oem with Ford. Parts were available and...

I had a similar problem. Puddle lights would work for a while once I swapped over to LED's but then stop working. I hooked up Forscan and found that I missed a bare spot on the insulation that was grounding out. Corrected the short and no issues with puddle lights since. Once I would clear...

TC from Circle D arrived yesterday 5/16. MS Racing should be tearing down the transmission this weekend. They have all of the rebuild parts in hand - the clutches and billets shafts. During tear down, I expect they will find something else "broken" due to the searching for gears when trying...
