If the upfitters are that delicate they only meant to trigger a relay, 20ga wire should be kept to a max of 5A, or about 60w per upfitter. Rigid claims their DSS in driving pattern consumes 4.07A @14.4v, which is 4.887@ 12v. Meaning if your running more than a single set of pods off of your...

What's your tube diameter and CLR? Who's bender are you using?

Are you using .120 wall?

Motorcrafts are $46 on rock auto, mooks are $25. Its worth $21 to me to not have to do the job over in 20k miles. When a job is as much of a pain as ball joints it seems reasonable to go with the better quality part.

I've left my raptor mostly stock, other than the exhaust it's actually closer to stock than it was when I bought it. I know if I start modifying the truck it's going off the deep end in a hurry. There is a lot I would love to do to it, but I am not good at going half-way with cars. Besides...

I think there could be a happy middle ground, long travel, shortened stock frame, glass fenders, turbocharged coyote power and no remorse because your only into it for the cost of a medium grade gen 1. Not competition worthy but able to run with just about any raptor out there and retain some...

Smart, just so long as you get a vin! I can see buying a wrecked truck for a project like this since you will be replacing all of the suspension and most of the driveline. As long as you can get a straight frame the rest is really semantics. Wrecked truck gets you the lions share of the dumb...

You have to lean forward to see your labels?

May as well buy a single cab long bed to shave weight and then shorten the frame to accept the aftermarket bed sides. This sounds better and better.

@4x4TruckLEDs.com is a site sponsor, you ought to at least consider them.

Check belt alignment (you can just use a straight edge across each of the pulleys), pull the belt and make sure none of the pulleys have any play.

Incorrect.

This isn't a tune issue. Its likely a vacuum leak or install issue. Make sure there are no hoses dangling free, make sure the throttle body is torqued properly, make sure all of your intake piping is tight (give it a good wiggle, see if it falls apart), tighten any loose hose clamps.

You could add a set of LED's to mimic the 3rd brake light and wire them in to the same circuit. There are tons of good options for tiny red LEDs.

Would be nice if that sat 2" higher so it didn't completely block your 3rd brake light and cargo light.

203 is pretty good. You have to remember the fluid circulates through the radiator first. This is done to get the fluid up to operating temp quicker, heat exchange occurs between the engine coolant in the radiator and the trans fluid. The bad part is as the radiator starts to heat soak under...

The gen 2/3 is going to be a different challenge. With the more sophisticated traction control, electronic suspension, EPAS, and digital controls you almost don't have a choice but to integrate the (a?) BCM somehow. It may also have more stringent emissions requirements (need to verify) which...

Not sure, my policy is cyberstalk and/or call until I get results. Works with most companies.

Forscan premium will allow you to disable the hyperflash, but you will no longer have any indication your lights are burnt out.

What temps are you seeing?

So which is it? Can or can't?

We know fords current metallurgy for pistons and rods, we know the block is rigid, we know it has 6 bolt mains, extra webbing and deep skirts to keep the piston strain to a minimum. The stock bore is only 4.22", combustion control will not be an issue. The rings are far down on the pistons...

I appreciate that you took that entire post as something intended just for you. But it wasn't.

There is no such thing as "liking forced induction" Every engine will make more power with positive atmosphere. Prochargers version is making around 630hp at 7-8 psi, this is a conservative tune on an otherwise stock engine. The 7.3l seems like a pretty good candidate, the obvious hurdles are...
