    Recommended tires for 2012 Gen1

    X3 for General ATX, the KO2’s are not the same as they use to be lately. Wish I had replaced my nicely worn ATX’s that had 68k on them with new ones instead of going back to stock KO2’s.

    Gen 1 - Lonnnng term maintenance, when to replace engine.

    I agree, I also recommend you do the mounts and carry on, let’s see how many miles you can get out it!

    High mileage owners please check in

    I used “milking” as it still works but I know it’s not 100% but I’m still going. My power steering will sometimes growl when turning towards the steering limit just before hitting the stops like after an outing or a road trip so I’m just waiting for it to finally crap out. My lead frame scenario...

    GEN 1 Power steering problem

    Is it possible to convert a Gen 1 to EPAS or is it technically impossible without gutting a Gen 2 and some serious fabrication?

    GEN 1 Interior water leak.

    I remember a guy with an F350 had that issue on the drivers side and it was a kinked drain line he fixed with weed eater string. Not sure if the link to YouTube will work or if it s a 2015, but the string is a good idea.

    Gen1 2010 Blue Flame

    Wow that’s probably the lowest mileage one I have seen on here!

    SCARY "almost" no start...

    Are you referring to the remote start attempt where it starts to crank, then fails? And once it fails it won’t remote start? Mine sometimes does that and I learned it’s usually because I wasn’t close enough to the truck. The problem is once it fails I have to key start it and even after that it...

    SCARY "almost" no start...

    I’m still leaning on your fuse 27 because yours cranked over. The key issue will give you a no crank at all. My understanding is the fuel inlet will also cause it to shut off at idle. Cleaning the fuel inlet flapper valve usually will correct it for a while. I use some Lucas fuel conditioner and...

    SCARY "almost" no start...

    I’m not sure it’s the same thing or if you have replaced your key, but sometimes when I turn the key I get the no crank. It’s been doing for so many years now that I’m completely use to it. A couple of things to note about it for me. 1 it always cranks by the third try and 2 if it no cranks and...

    Grille Lights

    After getting my Raptor and learning about the 5 lights I now see it in everything from trailers, dually’s, and of course semi’s.

    Grille Lights

    I was just commenting about this with the new morimoto 3rd brake light for the f150. Never heard of anyone being pulled over for it though.

    GEN 1 Fuel Fill Inlet

    I also think you’re supposed to use the little funnel in what may appear as an inappropriate way while cleaning it. LOL

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    It looks nice until someone mentions your truck in no longer DOT compliant now. Some people are just meanies. Haha. Jk

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Yeah, I used my pressure washer to get it off and wound up stripping off some OEM paint. It does not peel off that easily.

    I have been considering this route, I just keep reapplying plasti-dip, lol

    I’m an idiot. Now my truck won’t start

    Actually I think WHERE you live has a huge influence on battery life. My northern family members get several more years out of their vehicle battery than I do down south that’s for sure.

    I’m an idiot. Now my truck won’t start

    Is it just me or are batteries just not being made to last anymore. When I was a kid, my Dad swore by Die Hard, and they would last 12 years or more. Now I’m lucky to get 5 years out of one. Oh, and I haven’t used Die Hard since the early 90’s, I was just using them as an example. I’m sure it...

    I’m an idiot. Now my truck won’t start

    I had a similar experience after replacing a dead battery, turns out it was the park indicator switch, which leaves on the dash lights and drains the battery because it doesn’t recognize the the truck is in Park. A quick check is to see if you have an orange P when it’s in park (& the dash...

    Now let’s talk about that worn red strip, lol.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    That looks sharp but now what are you going to do to make your Raptor DOT compliant without the 3 red lights on the rear? Such a rule breaker, LOL

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I’m at 263xxx and have only done preventive maintenance to date. There have been a few exceptions like park indicator, third brake light, and a blend door actuator, but the extent you have done for your 150k service is most impressive!
