The point of the signature is to get more people trying to build, not to get me to build stuff for other people. Fabricating is really fulfilling, whether your good at it or not. I'm sure the valves are under there somewhere. :) Funny enough summit calls them valve covers as well...

This sounds like a sticking relay to me. Did the new headlights include a relay in the harness? If so I would replace it or switch them side to side to see if the problem moves. I am not familiar with those headlights so a picture of the install or a link to what's in the box would help.

I had a set of the D-series pods arrive with a short in them, they would blow fuses any time you tried to power them on. Contacted rigid, sent the pods out on their dime had a new set back within a week. Their service and warranty are good, send them an email and see what they say.

He already said it was idling fine. I had one of the gauges let go after an impact, needle just stopped moving a few days later. Ended up with a replacement cluster.

I don't think the market is there. The Raptor is an off road truck, you don't really see them at car shows. People with corvettes gather to look under each others hoods and talk about how fast their cars can go, the state of the stock market and how empty their lives are since their children...

Load a canned tune and see how you like it. Sell the other on the forum. If you want more out of the tune you can get one for the SCT you now own emailed to you. Avoid 5 star.

Is the gauge showing 5000 rpms and the truck is idling normally or is the engine actually running at 5k? What year truck is this?

Did you test it when running? I think it needs full alternator voltage to put out 110. Based on what you have posted so far take a look at the grounds for that receptacle, also check the battery to chassis and body grounds. If your still having problems later I will duplicate your tests on my...

You're at the mileage range of shock rebuild or replacements. Rockauto is the least expensive source for new shocks. There are several vendors who do a full rebuild service, it may or may not be cost effective. Those tires are an interesting choice for a raptor. At the minimum take them...

Disassemble and figure out what's actually making the noise. If you find its trim rattling get some adhesive backed Velcro and use the soft side to make a buffer between the parts that are coming in contact. If it is the trim you should be able to get it to stop by resting your hand on it when...

Chrome valve covers... I didn't know raptors were available in the 70's. But no, no one offers stamped sheet metal valve covers. if you can find a set of P/N m-6582-62wh, P/N m-6582-62bl or m-6582-62sl they are magnesium and could be chromed. None of them are produced any more. The raptor...

The 9.75 is a very good rear end, going to the 9" would be a downgrade in a bunch of ways. I don't know what currie rates their 9 at, but in stock form the 9.75 has an additional 1200lbs of carrying capacity, which translates to robustness when you jump your truck, hit hard bumps or just load up...

I'm not quite sure how that effects the clearance under the truck. I think it should be ok since its the outside edge of the tires that rub everything, but I am not really sure. See if anyone else is running the wheels you want with the tire size your looking at and ask if they are having rub...

Blend door motor. Common failure on these trucks, plenty of info on it throughout the forum.

Load the stock tune and attempt tune reload.

It kind of depends on your power goals. Oil pump gears wouldn't hurt but there are a lot of supercharged raptors running around without them. I don't think traction bars are overkill, wheel hop breaks stuff and traction bars will largely prevent it. I have considered building some for my truck...

You could try a standard automotive polish, something like Meguires ultimate compound probably work pretty good, its friable so it starts out coarse and brakes down to give a descent final finish in one step.

Backspace is the distance between the rear lip of the rim and the mounting surface. If you increase the wheel by .5 width and don't change the backspace you move the front wheel lip out .5". Since you are adding an inch of backspace you are moving the outer rim lip .5" in on the truck.

What did your battery connections look like? Check the alternator connection. It sounds like your dropping out of voltage spec momentarily. Since the trans work was the last thing done I would check the grounds on the right side of the harness. I think there are 3 grounds there.

@BenBB is correct. They use a Peltier element with a blower, and a controller that is mounted under the seat. The blower/peltier is easy to get to and replace. The bottom one and controller are under the seat and require the seat to be removed. The one on the back just requires you unzip the...

Alright then, inspect your AL3z-18A099-A. Does being pedantic on a casual forum make you feel big? You probably get pissed off when people call an engine a motor, I don't have time to worry about it, too busy trying to help.

Could be a strut mount. I will be doing my driver side strut mount as soon as I have garage space. Where are you feeling it, or is it just noise?

Have your tires balanced and rotated, see if it goes away. Tires are common cause of speed induced vibration, if that doesn't fix it report back there are other things to check.

Fuse 27 is a simple replacement with a $28 kit. Takes a couple tools and a couple beers, then never worry about it. Silly thing to worry over when the preventative procedure is so easy.

Conversion to extreme is easy, just a resonator delete!
