I have similar concerns but figured that it was better than scuffing up the paint or any PPF that I would put there. They do stick pretty tightly around the edges with careful application and am hoping that if I do need to take them off, a heat gun will loosen up the adhesive so I don’t pull...

Same Dana Spicer manufacturer as the rear cover that I put on but a smaller 8.8” 10 bolt cover. It’s not listed as a part that fits the Raptor on Summit’s site but it does show it fitting F-150s and from what the shop said, ”they all use the same differentials”. So I took a small risk that it...

Also put on some TufSkinz on the door sills.

Here you go. As I mentioned, there isn’t a lot of room to spare.

Had the dealer install this on the front differential to go with the one on the rear: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sdh-10023538?rrec=true Unlike the rear cover, it’s overkill for where it is located but wanted to have a drain plug for the fluid. Whether it will have any other benefits...

Getting around to following @John M BUNMAN ’s advice about installing a CargoGlide in the Raptor but have noted that Decked purchased CargoGlide in March of 2022. In reading comments, it appeared that CargoGlide is generally considered to be of better quality than Decked’s product So I’m...

That’s awful. Hopefully they make things right in addition to canning the tech that did that.

Ah “Walter’s Wiggles”. Brings back memories of hiking up to Angel’s Landing on 98 degree cloudless day with about 20 pounds of camera gear on my back. Kept wondering why people who were on the way down while I was going up kept asking if I was okay. Then had my youngest show me a picture of me...

If you decide to go through with it, let us know how difficult it was and pictures of the results please.

For those who have done the climate control swap, I’m assuming that the process is the same as when doing the Explorer climate control swap. 1) Use Forscan to save the HVAC Module “As Built” settings. 2) Swap out climate control unit (making sure that the Part # matches between old and new...

Congratulations on the new Raptor! As for the graphics; I was happy that when I found my 35, it came sans any graphics and the tail gate delete as it is a good looking truck to begin with and wanted to be a little more stealthy about what it was (as if the other unique Raptor things like the...

Thanks, you had me wondering as it would be pretty difficult to screw up the install of the hoses going to the IC. So a leak at the hose connections or in the IC itself was all I could think of which you’d notice performance wise. Always learning things the more I hang around here. So I...

Appreciate the response. I guess that part of the issue is most folks (myself included) are only using the charge temp that the truck gives us. Hence the questions about the effectiveness particularly on the initial run(s). Bottom line it’s not only what you measure but where you measure it...

Give it a day or so for the system to adjust. Not sure why but after a couple of days, the charge temps on mine dropped. The other thing to remember is that the biggest benefit from larger intercoolers is the lack of heat soak that the stock intercooler suffers from. Fingers crossed that your...

Not to hi-jack this thread completely but if I wanted to replace the stamped steel cover on the Torsen front differential in order to be able to change the fluid easier, this would be a suitable (but likely overkill) replacement.

If you trim the brush, it makes your truck deck look bigger. :D

Late to this as well and thanks John for sharing Thom’s and a little bit of your story. I have been fortunate to have met a number of Vietnam era Army aviators thanks to my father’s service and they were indeed amazing in what they could do with fixed and rotary wing craft. I hope that the...

Same here. Even though I have the system on both the Raptor and my Explorer, when it comes on I’m thinking “what the heck did I just hit!?!” Never seem to get used to it.

While you can operate the power tailgate with the top closed, it is a tight fit and will eventually damage the seal on the DiamondBack. Best to open the back panel of the DiamondBack in order to avoid that or adjust the back panel so the fit isn’t as tight but then you have a potential way for...

This would be perfect for that.

You’re welcome. The inside is nice and soft and the material has a decent amount of stretch. It does what it was intended to do and keeps the dust off of the vehicle while in storage. Hopefully, if you do order one, they will send the correct cover. :)

Dog is my co-pilot and my pilot. Nice photos John.

It’s the “Indoor Black Satin Shield“ cover from CarCovers.com. It’s a good lightweight cover for indoor use to keep dust off the vehicle. Easy one person install and removal. Only issue I had was that they sent the wrong cover initially and it took almost a month until they got the replacement...

With the weather here (like most of the US) going into the deep freeze, the Bear went into hibernation in a cave since it doesn’t fit in the garage. She’ll come out before spring but for now she’ll be cozy with a number of her new friends. :D
