    GEN 1 Rear Differential Whine on 2014

    After watching a few videos, although they make it looks easy I don't think it will be something I can do after all since many tools I don't have right now would make my life miserable. Yea that makes sense. The shitty part is it has to be up on a lift and cover taken off just to find out...

    GEN 1 Rear Differential Whine on 2014

    Can anyone tell me what would cause the whine? Is it the bearings inside? Right now I am leaning towards it needing to be rebuilt after watching a few different videos. Again this is more of a question and not a statement. I could be way off, but there are no other loud noises like clunking from...

    GEN 1 Rear Differential Whine on 2014

    The dealer closest to me just told me it would be 3-4 months before they could even look at it. Exactly why I didn't want to call them. They weren't even helpful. I asked how much it would be for the parts to replace the inner items and he said they would have to bring it in to look at...

    GEN 1 Rear Differential Whine on 2014

    So I have a very dreaded differential whine. I removed the plug and as I expected metallic shavings came out in the fluid. My question is how difficult is it to replace these parts. I'm assuming it is the ring and pinion gear that would need to be replaced? Next question is what exactly do I...

    Rear Suspension advise

    Yea that is the plan once I get the shocks rebuilt. I'll be doing the exchange at TSW and just get mid perch at that point. I just bought the Caltracs traction bar this morning. Coming from summit racing. Shouldn't take long since they are not far from me. I am also going to try out the...

    Rear Suspension advise

    Ok, so at the moment I am completely stock...so the front nose is lower then the rear. I plan to change this once I get shocks rebuilt. I will get mid perch at that time. Everything is stock. I will be getting tires soon as well....I might go ahead and do that now, but I have no clue which tires...

    Rear Suspension advise

    Oh yea I came across this. Crew cab version is still in R&D, so it would have to wait from them. I'll have to see if anyone else makes them?

    Rear Suspension advise

    Hey guys, I have a question about what I would need to solve my problem. I have a 2014 crew cab with a 2.9l Whipple supercharger. Right now the suspension is stock, but I plan to have them rebuilt with mid perch in the next year or so. My problem is the wheel hop and the wheel spin in wet...

    NEED HELP, on new purchase

    I have a whipple installer down the road from me...Beauty of living in DFW...I already spoke to them. They said they can try to retune, but sometimes it works a little and other times it doesn't. I asked about putting a stock TB, but he said I can't with this whipple kit. So What you guys are...

    NEED HELP, on new purchase

    Whipple shop was closed today. Does anyone know a fix for the throttle body issue? Also, are these trucks slow without the SC?

    NEED HELP, on new purchase

    Whipple said it's probably the throttle body. They said the large ones have issues like this...still trying to talk to them to find out what if anything can be done

    NEED HELP, on new purchase

    PPI have only told me basic things like yea need tires, washer fluid, wiper blades...I need to know much deeper issues..I don't do PPI anymore. When you already know what to look for these basics don't do much. Sending it to a whipple or performance shop to run a tune check is not PPI

    NEED HELP, on new purchase

    Thank you to the two that gave me some info to go with. I live in DFW and we indeed have a whipple installer. I will call them Monday to get an idea. It's the only one with a Whipple so I am inclined to get it..Coming from a gen 2 I don't think a gen 1 without a SC will be fast enough for my...

    NEED HELP, on new purchase

    Hey guys, I was in the process of getting plans together to fly in and buy a 2014 Raptor with 61,500 miles. It has a Whipple stage 2 on it. Today I find out that the truck seems to have a vacuum leak? He said it's a common Whipple issue on these trucks? I don't know can anyone verify this, and...

    Looking to Buy my Second Raptor

    My most recent post was me saying that the Gen 1 is what I can now afford...So I'm looking at gen 1. I didn't feel like starting a new thread asking about random things about what I can do to the gen 1. I will do this once I buy one. For me, test driving a vehicle doesn't matter. Never has. I...

    Looking to Buy my Second Raptor

    Wait I just saw one with a camera on the front...I didn't think they had this back then...Can anyone tell me how it compares to the Gen 2 cameras? This is one thing I liked most on my gen 2 that I had... If I get one without a front camera is this something I could add?

    Looking to Buy my Second Raptor

    I want sync 3 more then anything though so I've priced out the $1500 upgrade. That's #1 on my list for upgrades. I found one I like with a SC on it already with 61k miles for $38k...Sounds reasonable?

    Looking to Buy my Second Raptor

    Exactly! That 10 speed is ridiculous when trying to sound awesome as you speed past...it's like is it ever going to stop? Complete crap in that aspect Damn that's some impressive miles for sure. Right now I think the Gen 1 is the right choice def 2013-14

    Looking to Buy my Second Raptor

    Looks like I'm narrowing it down to a Gen 1. I'm trying to be smart with money and going with the cheaper Gen 1 over a brand new one seems smart. I want to be able to modify it down the road. So I will need everyone's help as I get one. I already have a few questions, so I'll search the internet...

    Looking to Buy my Second Raptor

    Yes, this is what I was saying....way different animals, but the same thing..lol All good points here. Since I've already had a Gen 2, I might be shooting myself in the foot and end up hating the Gen 1 I have a V8 Audi S4 with modified exhaust, so I think you are right on that...If I need a V8...

    Looking to Buy my Second Raptor

    What kind of options does the Gen 1 have? Do they have heated and cooled seats, sport mode like Gen 2? Any other cameras besides the back up camera? What are some good reasons you guys like the Gen 1 over the Gen 2? Is it just the V8? I'm looking for enough things that can sway me to Gen 1...

    Looking to Buy my Second Raptor

    Fantastic points! I think what I like best from the Gen 2 is the amount of new/modern Tech. I love being able to plug in my samsung and work it right through the speakers and talk to google. If I were to get a Gen 1 it would be the latest year for sure. So you ar saying it's fairly easy to...
