    The right way to install GEN 2 Shocks on a GEN 1!

    So in order to get the correct bypass locations etc. you would need the shock bodies and legs, plus the caps to complete the retrofit?

    2010 ignition coil issue

    Run it, if you start to get misfires or you see a big drop in economy or a loss of power worry about it. Sounds like they are working fine. Tough to stomach the cost of 8 coils if you don't really need them. It doesn't seem like coil failure is a particularly big problem on these trucks.

    The right way to install GEN 2 Shocks on a GEN 1!

    Would like to see some pics with the parts installed on the shocks and either measurements or a side by side to gen 1. Looks like a nice solution. Must be quite the jigging challenge!

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    This sort of thing is why I spent my yesterday learning how to operate my Longacre tools. After I walked into my local firestone for a lifetime alignment and the guy said " we dont do alignments on raptors" that pretty much set me on the path of figuring it out. Its a lot of work, but it also...

    Coolant Reservoir cap

    Try a nalgene cap or something similar from stuff out of your kitchen.

    Livernois Head/Cam Package power loss confusion

    Hopefully I can find something in your tune. I haven't ever done raptor cams but something may jump out at me. It is worth a try anyway, and if I can't find anything I will ask on their board.

    How many thread the needle or just go for the pin stripes

    Mines got a few. I buff out what I can. I gouged the bejesus out of one of my fender flares though, right through the clear bra! All gravy, truck gets used like a truck, I was having a great time when it happened, and still had a great rest of my trip. I even got out and cut back the branch I...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Found the cause of my fuse 73 pop and the instrument cluster light up: Evidently at some point in this trucks life someone decided: "Fords method of securing this main harness is inadequate, I think I will rip it out and daisy chain it to the AC line with zip ties." This decision caused that...

    Livernois Head/Cam Package power loss confusion

    What tuning software does your tuner use? If it is HPtuners send me the tune and I will look it over.

    Fox 2.0 Performance Series IFP Steering Stabilizer?

    Steering stabilization has nothing to do with the front end being live axle or IFS. You can still attach a stabilizer to a TRE. They are in fact part of the factory stock front end setup on modern GM 3/4 and 1 ton trucks, which use an IFS. Raptor still should not need one.

    GEN 1 P0161 check engine light

    There is a harness that runs from the middle connector on the pcm, down behind the cylinder head. Check that harness and make sure it hasn't touched the exhaust, or chaffed against the back of the head. It's a fairly common fail point on this gen.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Found my exhaust rattle: That is the crossover heat shield, and it was loose. It looked like there was a clamp on there from ford, so I put that one on, trimmed the tails and called it good. I could have welded it but I think it needs to be able to come apart there for service. Also found...

    some help needed with pricing my truck

    Why not return to stock and save the modifications for your screw? You will be at a major loss when you replace it and decide to buy those parts again. Congrats on the baby!

    GEN 2 Excess smoke from exhaust.

    My gen 1 ecoboost f150 did this, it is "normal" for the engine. If you aren't making or consuming oil don't sweat it!

    GEN 2 SAND ETCHED WINDOWS

    Cerium oxide and a buffer. Mask everything off before you try it, you DO NOT want the CE polish on your paint or seals. Glass is really hard, it's not like buffing paint. v36 will very likely not be aggressive enough, nice for paint though :). 3m, Griots and Glass Technology make a cerium polish...

    P0741 mystery and thoughts ?

    Best guess is you were low on fluid and that brought the level back up to an acceptable level. Get yourself a 3/4" box end wrench and do a proper fluid level check. I'll be interested to see what the teardown reveals.

    "FUSE #27" Oh sh-- Moment

    Soldering is pretty easy, and worth learning if you have any interest at all. If this is the only connection you ever see yourself doing the heat shrink connector looks like it will work.

    HELP! GEN 1 Shock Part Numbers

    AL3Z18124TA relates to a 2010 supercab with either engine. I am not sure why there is a specific shock for 2010, cheaper price tag makes it appealing though. Maybe @FordTechOne has some answers on it.

    Gen 2 TPMS on Gen 1

    You can transfer the TMPS over if you want. The gen 1 are located in the valve stem.

    Electrical/No crank problem

    Tried it, after you fail at doing something one way a few times you try something else :)

    6.2 and nos?

    Maybe in kit form. You will still be able to buy an P1X or an s470 and brew your own, just going to mean more bad-ass fabricators running around.
