    Fake engine sound: Navigator vs Limited vs Raptor

    When I disabled mine I noticed the biggest difference at low RPMs and low on/off throttle. At higher RPMs and WOT I can hear no difference. To me this suggests the system spends most of it's time trying to make the exhaust noise in light driving.

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    Agree w/ you @Loufish Even a regular F-150 would sag more than I like and I would put bags on it. The Raptor is more than capable of towing my 4-5000lbs trailer no problem. And with this bag setup you can still offroad no problem (I already have w/ it). I don't jump my truck, I suppose that...

    Any “Must To Do” on a new truck?

    The middle mudflap comes from the world of rally cars. It's supposed to protect the rear suspension from things that the front wheels kick up. The problem is that to be most effective it should be mounted further back and more inboard than the Weathertech one which mounts on the running...

    Any “Must To Do” on a new truck?

    I bought both the Husky and Weathertech mudflaps to compare. I sent the Husky's back. The Weathertechs are better (more coverage and match the exterior plastic texture). I have the center mudflap they sell as well, plan to run it in the winter, remove it in the summer.

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    Yes there is more vertical space on the 2017/2018. Mine is welded all the way around the back and the bracket is 1/4" thick. I don't think it's going anywhere but yes if the space were available then more bite on the bracket would be nice, the space just isn't there on the 2019+ suspension...

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    I did them myself in my garage. Used 4"/3" angle iron from McMaster, 1/4" thick. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Gen 2 Stainless Brake Lines

    Medicine man stuff definitely. I run rubber lines on my race car.

    GEN 2 PRNDM console lights

    My 802a Raptor built 4/2019 does not appear have the plug for the gearshift light bar in the harness. I bought the light bar and went to install it...plug is nowhere to be found.

    noise when you open driver side door

    My 2019 does this...I assumed it was normal. I thought it was the Fox shocks waking up b/c it sounds to me like it's coming from the front and rear wheel wells...but could be fuel pump prime.

    Just bought MPT...suggestions?

    Thanks for the info. I will look into it. I find the stock shift patterns annoying.... How it goes 1-3-5 all the time. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Just bought MPT...suggestions?

    Does MPT also modify the transmission tune as well? That's the main thing I want. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    automatic high beams...

    I like them. This is the 3rd car I have owned w/ this feature. The Raptor's are a bit more sensitive than others but they do work well.

    Best Air lift kits for trailering?

    There are no bolt on kits for the Gen2 Raptor...only for the Gen 1. See the link above that shows how to fabricate your own.

    What do you need to know specifically? Did you fab the brackets the same way? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    An update on this project for 2019s. The clearance is tight on the driver's side. After driving for a couple of weeks on right turns with bumps I was hearing rubbing from the left rear. Turns out the bump stop "bulge" was rubbing on the centering cup and bracket. No problem on the right...

    Finally an Honest Ram Owner

    I agree especially the interior is nice on the current Ram. The main problem Ram has is it's V8 being underpowered IMO. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    The value of carbon fiber

    I hated looking at the poor fit of the grey dash vents where they meet the dash...non-flush uneven fit from the factory. Looks terrible on a $76K truck and you can't avoid looking at it b/c it's right in front of your eyes whenever you are behind the wheel. Sad that Ford uses the same poor...

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    Here is the finished product. I test drove today and at 5psi on the street you can't even tell the bags are there. I took four neighborhood speed humps at full speed (25-35mph) and still can't tell the bags are there. There is no significant effect on suspension travel that I can tell. I...

    GEN 2 flare/Bedside graphics removal

    Agreed. I bought my Raptor off the lot...I walked in planning to do a special order then found the dealer had just offloaded a Raptor from the delivery truck and it had the exact color/options that I would have special ordered, except for the hood and bed graphics package. I kept the hood...

    GEN 2 flare/Bedside graphics removal

    I removed mine, mostly by hand---picked up the edges either with a plastic scraper, then pulled. Then I removed the remaining adhesive with 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover. I tried GooGone first, it would not touch the adhesive. Overall a pretty easy job. I removed mine the day after...
