    Aftermarket fuel tank

    What is your stock tank size? Is this a scab or screw? Many of the screws come with a 36 gallon from the factory, so if you have the smaller tank there may be OEM options.

    Is this rust a deal breaker?

    That's because Colorado uses magnesium chloride, rather than sodium chloride to treat the roads. It's much easier on paint and metal, even if a bit of a bear to wash off.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    3m eraser wheel works good if you have one. Mineral oil usually works well and won't harm the paint (available at walgreens).

    Bully dog bdx problema

    Comience con las cosas fáciles, saque el módulo K&N, condúzcalo, vea si cambia. Si no lo reemplaza, tire de la entrada y continúe desde allí. No debería necesitar el módulo K&N con una melodía. La intuición dice que es una falla en la melodía. Intente enviar un correo electrónico a Bully Dog y...

    DIY 6.2 Spark Plug Change

    Owners manual or repair manual? There is a service number (how much the gap should be when worn) and an install number (the initial setting). It's should be fairly obvious that gap isn't a hypercritical number. More gap can be a little hotter, less gap gets you a little more dwell. As long as...

    What makes a Raptor...

    According to the elite members of the SVT fordraptorforum club that would be a criminal act, and it would no longer be a SVT raptor. it's only an SVT Raptor if it is original down to the little casting nubbins on the tire tread and has less than 8 miles. You arent allowed to enjoy your truck...

    Leaf Spring Recommendation

    Take a look at Icon. Deaver, Icon or custom from a leaf manufacturer are pretty much your options.

    CA smog OBD port issue.

    Why would you have anything wired into your OBD port that wasn't an OBD device... there are a dozen-dozen other ways to send power signal to amp. Wire that properly and try again. Hopefully you didn't inadvertently ground out something in your PCM.

    2010 5.4 to 6.2 Engine Swap

    The BCM might be different as well as the ECM. Just get these and the harness and you ought to be good to go. Will it pass emissions? Depends on your state and inspector.

    Oil change schedule

    Oil does break down, the additives and detergents in it are essentially consumable. The more you heat cycle it the faster this occurs. It oxidizes, gets fuel contamination, water contamination, metallics from engine wear. Its fairly common practice to change a filter at 3500 and oil at 7k, or...

    Is this rust a deal breaker?

    Your already well advised. But any raptor with rust anywhere on the rockers is a no go, its only going to get worse and probably do so quickly. Those panels you see are rusted through from the back side, if you see paint bubbling or rust coming through the paint find a different raptor. These...

    we bought a prius.....

    Plain old duratraks work good enough in the snows we get, It isn't constant enough to warrant studs, nor the noise they make. I was driving mine around in that last weather event (The one @The Car Stereo Company keeps whinging about), 2wd no weight in the bed. It only made drama when I asked for...

    we bought a prius.....

    I suspected as much... Did you get extended warranty on it? :D Wait a minute, yours is the high mile beater, shouldn't it be the parts car? Not sure a gen 1 can ever be a beater... even with 200k miles they are still desirable.

    Snapped a few pics with a Waldoch 13th Gen F-150

    Oh, I do. Maybe this year I will put nice vinyl jack-o-lantern face stickers on it for Halloween. Have fun with it, enjoy the orange goodness. If I want it to look just like a terrain raptor for a day I will just drive it through some nice, sticky silt, then when I am bored of it looking like...

    Oil change schedule

    I do annual or 5k on everything. Never had a problem with it, oil analysis have been fine. If your curious about it get a test kit from Blackstone. Will give you details and advice on changing frequency.

    GEN 1 LEE power steering upgrade (light bar kit)

    Holding the steering wheel at hard lock will destroy any PS pump... Do your donuts at part lock.

    2011 68k miles recently purchased, could this be the culprit? Of the shake and shimmy?

    Until the balls loosen so much that they release. Then the sway bar pops free, catches the road, bends to hell destroying who knows what and scaring the bejesus out of the driver. Probably locking up the steering and sending you careening into a school bus full of crippled children. Alright...

    Bearing Spinning Type Noise HELP

    A vehicle sitting and not being used is really dang hard on it, climate controlled or not. Before you get too frustrated with it, try to further diagnose where the noise is coming from. This could be rolling all the windows down and trying to initiate the noise, maybe with someone else in the...
