If your spending that much time off road 3.0's make sense. Fox 3.0 seem to be good for ride quality. It's debated a lot, there are plenty of arguments for any of the big 3 brands across the forum.

Did you try the other tires, or do any other diagnostics?

Short of replacing the PCM you can turn off the rear O2 code reporting through a number of different tuning platforms. It isn't the right way, but replacing a PCM seems a bit silly.

40" is a lot, you may end up with water intrusion in the cabin, I think that is above the air vents at the back of the cab, when those get below water line it will flood ricky tick. Its higher than the door seals are intended to cope with. Aside from destroying your interior and trapping water...

I would be happy with those numbers, and expect a bit of sootiness.

You will get more condensate in cold months, and the higher percentage of ethanol in your fuel the more you will produce. None of that stuff is particularly harmful to the engine. Its water vapor which will just pass through in combustion and oil, which just burns off. PCV isn't working at WOT...

It doesn't pull hot air, it pulls air from in front of the cooling stack. Its reasonable that it would not pull water through the lower intake port if it has a fresh air source. Ford rates the fording depth at 30" It's real simple, if the top of your rims are about to go below the waterline...

Lubelocker gasket.

Small bump compliance will invariably be better with the lower load range. The Raptor is limited in payload by the suspension, so throwing high load rating tires at it doesn't do any good. There is a misconception that higher load range tires are more durable, they are not: those two things are...

I see, the quick search I did brought up an f...

What size, if it is the 35x12.50r17 They are a load range F.... as in f**cked ride quality.

Worn TRE or as others have said alignment out of spec. Post #1 makes it sound like toe is out.

1" crown, 5/8" opening. Amazon kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FS0WFAA/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

You can for sure make it run and drive. It's likely you will need a full gauge cluster, aftermarket radio and a seat rewire. Keep us posted.

It's possible that you just had some sticking going on since you don't use 4wd very often. If it is going in now, reliably there may be no reason to mess with it. Engage 4x4 when you change the oil, keeps it from sticking and lets you know there is a problem before you actually need it.

If you want a supercharger on your 6.2l buying a truck that already has one makes a lot of sense. You can usually have the supercharged truck for a lot less than the cost of buying one and doing it yourself. Check for signs of rust, make sure there aren't any marks between the bed and cab from...

Cerakote makes a heat dissipating line. I would look into those.

Have you talked to a frame shop about this? Its very likely that it will be more economical for you to take it in and have it straightened/patched than doing an entire frame swap yourself. Unless the frame is really pretzeled. Got pics?

Its normal, there is condensation in the crankcase just like you find coming out your tailpipes. Vaporizes, gets caught in the catch can with the oil, which is cold. The vaporized water condenses forming an emulsion and you get "milkshake".

No. Your just regurgitating some crap that became popular in the 2000's, it no longer applies. A tune by a knowledgable remote tuner like JDM is going to be better 99.9% of the time than your local dyno guy who doesn't have the first clue about Ford Copperhead tuning. They will not get the...

Yes, they sold a very expensive part, in a very expensive kit, and made very big claims. The tune is the lions share of the gains, you get rid of the throttle limiting, put good fuel in it and give it some timing. Tuning for a throttle body for anything but peak power is a huge pain, getting the...

How old are your stock bulbs? They do dim a bit with time. DOT regulates headlights have a max output (usually wattage), its to protect other drivers on the road. Have you considered aux lighting?

What sort of condition is the brake system in? Has it ever had the fluid replaced? Are the Pads, rotors, calipers, master, abs block all stock stuff?

I would not want anything dangling off the bottom of the oil pan like that. Something catches it off road and your engine is done before you know anything is wrong. It would be one thing if it was a big pain to get to the drain, but it isn't.
