    Steering issue

    Could be excessive toe, Tie rod end or front wheel bearing. Either is easy to diagnose, YouTube it!

    First generation Sync Sucks Balls

    This is almost identical to what's in my Raptor, only difference is mine has orange trim. There ain't no other fanciness.

    First generation Sync Sucks Balls

    I think a bunch of you have sync2 systems and are confusing them with the basic sync 1 unit. Sync 1 looks like this:

    Need a good shop in PHX for the Gen 1

    Rebuild is a good way to go, that's all a "remanufactured" unit is. The rebuilder can replace everything except the case, you get all new parts. Plus you have an actual human being to support you if something goes wrong rather than some unknown person at a sweat shop that you cannot possibly...

    Gen 1 vs Gen 2 running boards

    Yep, in the screw model at least. There was a recent post about it.

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    Unless your tension is way high, or something is loose you should not be cooking your main bearings with a blower. The crank still rides on the hydrodynamic oil wedge when running and should never be in contact with the bearings except at initial startup. Bearings usually get hammered due to...

    High mileage owners please check in

    I wish someone like trick flow made heads for these trucks, these broken valve spring posts would give me the justification to buy a set.

    EV Trucks Off-Road, what range do you think we'll see

    Back to the EV thing. It's really exciting for off road apps. You can put 90% of the vehicles weight below the driver, in the center of the vehicle. The driver can sit almost at the ground clearance line, you can use computers to control torque to a whole new level, the EV off road can be both...

    2014 f150 lariat raptor conversion help

    That would be a big cash layout for a truck. He's got the advantage of using all new parts in any config he wants doing it this way, spending a little at a time. Some people would rather have a project once a month than a truck payment once a month.

    Dovetail beds let's see Em.

    Mask it back and use a rust inhibitor (high zinc content paint) or epoxy to paint the area that will be covered by the strip. I would avoid sealants, as they will inevitably trap water against the metal.

    Fox 2.0 Performance Series IFP Steering Stabilizer?

    They do make stabilizers for IFS vehicles. You shouldn't need one though. @SS308 is there a specific behavior you're trying to correct? Or is this just a cars & coffee upgrade?

    First generation Sync Sucks Balls

    You can replace it. You just need a steering wheel control adapter unit and whatever head unit to go with it. The little USB unit in the lower dash can be replaced with the one from your new unit if it has one. If you have the factory amp/sub you will have to get an adapter for that too. Sync...

    EV Trucks Off-Road, what range do you think we'll see

    When you don't have access to the real world experience, you have no choice but to wonder and apply what you know. If that's "academic" so be it. It's pretty easy to get a good idea of what is going to go on based on what you know. Even though it's a different energy source it is still an energy...

    EV Trucks Off-Road, what range do you think we'll see

    This. Cars are shaped the way they are because the need an engine and cooling system in the front (economics drive this, not all vehicles but most). Ev do not, when the safety standards update to allow EV to optimize aero while still protecting pedestrians its going to help high speed range a...

    EV Trucks Off-Road, what range do you think we'll see

    I'm an industrial designer, not a mathematician, but I did learn enough math to understand that it is just a language. People are scared of it for whatever reason. Numbers are just a part of the alphabet, and it's a really easy way to explain things to someone else who knows a little of the...

    EV Trucks Off-Road, what range do you think we'll see

    Ok, let me rephrase. A gallon of gas is about equivalent to an EV rating of 10.6 KW. So if an EV is rated at 212 kwh it will have about the same range as a similar size/weight gasoline vehicle with a 20 gallon tank. The math was intended as a tool, for anyone to use not an attack on an...

    Roush Raptor Spun a Rod

    They are all over car-part with low miles. The short block is the same as the superduty, so search for a superduty short block.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    My rebuilt oem's with flutter stacks click. I really can't even here it unless the windows are down. I am not sure I would choose an aftermarket shock based on the clicking.

    Thats not magic, or variable. 1 BTU= 0.293071 W 1 gallon of gas 116,090 Btus 1 gallon ethanol 53,956 BTUs Figure out what your mix percent is, around here 10% ethanol is common so .9 x 116090 + .1 x 53956 = 109876.6 btu in E10 fuel 109876.6btu x .293071btu/W = 32,201 watts per gallon. x.001...

    Thoughts on DIY rear bumpstop kit/frame brace?

    These are also an air bump, rather than a hydraulic. Way better deal, you won't ever regret going overboard on the bumps!
