    Rebuild or replace

    Rebuild is a bit vague, what is wrong with it? I would be looking at pull out long block from a 2020/21 6.2l superduty. Swap your sensors, cams, front dress and have another 200-300k of worry free fun. You can get one dropped at your door for under $5k, that has never even had an oil change...

    Does 2019 gen 2 need leveling kit for 20” rims

    If you are pleased with the ride avoid 20's, that lack of sidewall will kill your small bump absorption. If you ever plan on taking it off pavement it they are poison. If it's a mall crawler then it won't matter. My truck was used, came with 20's going to 17's was the best mod possible for...

    Tire Options

    The difference between an E and a C is the sidewall construction. A "C" range tire is a 6 ply construction, an "E" range is 10 ply. They may not have that many actual layers but they are constructed to an equivalent, they might both have 2 or 3 but it will be built differently and an "E" is much...

    2013 Transmission Rebuild Advice

    Find a low mileage used unit off of some place like car-part.com. It will cost less than a rebuild and will be of OEM quality.

    Tire Options

    Avoid E range tires, they will ruin your ride quality, and don't really do that well off road unless you air way down. Try to stick to a C if possible, sidewall flex is a good thing. Besides that, this truck doesn't have near enough payload to warrant an E range.

    2013 Raptor transfer case fluid change

    Torsen differentials do not contain clutches, not necessary for the design. 4 Torsen.com says it is not neccasary to use a friction modifier, but they go on to state: if your OEM says to use it you should. The more friction the faster the Torsen will lock, since the Supplemental calls for it...

    Up for new tires contemplating 39s

    It looks great, why did you choose not to cap the ends of the tube?

    2013 Raptor transfer case fluid change

    No limited slip packs in the t-case, so no additive required. Mercon LV is fine.

    GEN 1 2013 Raptor Front differential fluid change

    Its a torsen dif so the additive may not be required. FYI all of these specs are in the little manual that sits in your glove box and has probably never been opened, its the raptor supplemental, refer to it, follow the guidance.

    GEN 1 2013 Raptor Rear end fluid change

    You will know as soon as you open the differential, friction modifier smells absolutely foul. If it doesn't smell like a rotting skunks carcass that has been dipped in sewage, slathered with deer piss then perfumed with Durian fruit it probably didn't have friction modifier and won't need more...

    Brake help

    Are you doing the work yourself? It sounds to me like the tech is not using caliper grease, not torquing things properly or you have an issue elsewhere in your braking system: Are you driving 25k+ a year? Do you ride with your foot on the brake for extended periods? (more than a few seconds at...

    GEN 1 Forscan Changes you made to your Gen1?

    Yes, you can run your markers and clearance lights as driving lights using forscan, I did it on mine. It has been a while and I don't remember the details, I do remember it taking only a few minutes to figure out via trial and error. You can also change the "half click" turn signal from 3...

    Plastic pulley on Motorcraft belt tensioner? Damn!

    Ford has been using plastic idler pulleys since at least the 80's, it wasn't a problem then and isn't now. Your truck will be just fine :)

    Upper Control Arm/ Outer Tie Rod help

    Plain ol' OEM is going to be the lowest maintenance component if your not running the truck hard.

    GEN 1 ¿Deavers/Icons/Frankenstein Springs?

    Thats a tough call, since it is half the money... Deaver has already done the R&D, they know what is going on with the truck. It might be this company is really good and can get it right the first time, and you end up with something sweet, maybe not and you have to have a second set made, or you...

    Lower ball joint replacement

    This is with the LCA already off the truck, labor is minimized. I wouldn't pay someone $1000 to do it... go spend $800 on tools and a nice little toolbox, use the remainder for the parts required, a couple cases of beer and some flowers for your lady so she will leave you alone for a day and...

    Ball Joints wearing out

    Those are just the ball joint numbers. It should have 2 bushings that connect it to the front subframe or frame, I haven't had one that far apart.
