    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Not required. The air temps are so similar Ford did not see a reason to set the IAT in the manifold. I don't either. If you are running a blower that changes things because the supercharger is heating the air after the MAF. Remember how quickly the air is moving through the system, and that the...

    Which Remanufactured Steering Rack?

    Wandering is usually caused by toe settings or worn bushings, or severely worn wheel bearings. All this should be easy to check with one wheel off the ground.

    Sell in hot market or a long term classic?

    Just depends on why your selling it. If you are selling it to move forward with something else, build something better or flee the country there won't be any regrets. If you are selling it because you want a gen 2 or 3 there will be regret!

    Which Remanufactured Steering Rack?

    What is the size of the hex? Should be able to just get a bolt with a head the right size and use 2 nuts on it locked together to make a wrench. Or if you weld just weld yourself up a tool that fits using the bolt as the driver.

    Manifold replacement

    You talking intake or exhaust manifold? Based on your username I would assume you are already supercharged so, yeah.. lots of header options out there. Pick out some nice long tubes and set aside a weekend!

    Sell in hot market or a long term classic?

    Most mods when you are talking collectors. The more OEM the better. Even if you are looking for a classic to mod, unmolested is better.

    Which Remanufactured Steering Rack?

    @The Car Stereo Company mentioned there is an adjustment in the rack that will remove some slop. Maybe he will chime in. I know old school steering boxes had these, didn't realize modern rack and pinion did.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Its easy, monitor IAT with a logger such as HPtuners, wrap it, run the same driving scenario. Thing is, I don't need to. I have logged my truck extensively, during any sort of acceleration run the iat are within a degree or 2 of ambient. The intakes on these trucks are pretty good! Fluid...

    Which Remanufactured Steering Rack?

    Tasca shows them as available, which means your local ford should be able to get them. By the time you figure in the shipping to and from it may end up being pretty comparable in price depending on which ford dealer you use.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    The answer is no. At full throttle near the top of the RPM range the air speed through the intake tubing is around 70 ft/sec. The ABS the stock intake is made of is not particularly conductive. Since you have insulated about 3' of travel path you have insulated a dwell time of about .04 of a...

    hill descent fault, service advancetrac, and no offroad mode

    At a certain point you just lift the harness out of the truck and inspect the whole thing. It isn't as crazy as it sounds, the engine harnesses can be removed in about an hour. Everything goes back together easily. Each of the harnesses is dedicated to a specific region of the truck. The...

    Transmission slipping from 3rd gear to 4th

    What is the mileage on the truck? Abused or babied?

    Sell in hot market or a long term classic?

    Which one do you enjoy more? Do you need the truck bed for anything? Is the snow in your avatar a factor worth considering? I can't really see the Raptor being more fun that the Alpha if you never off road, but I can see the Raptor being more practical and reliable. I don't think we are going...

    hill descent fault, service advancetrac, and no offroad mode

    Check the harness that runs behind the engine on the right side, mine had chaffed and I had some of the codes you are having, but not all (that is why I didn't mention it in my earlier post). I think mine was related to fuse 73. The PO or repair shop or whoever ran those daisy chained zip ties...

    Turbo Smart BOV issues!!

    Check to make sure none of your intake piping came loose. It sounds like you have a leak somewhere between MAF and throttle body.

    Rebuilding a 6.2 Engine

    If you mean reusing the original rings that might not be the best, they are a wear item. If you are talking about just using a new OEM ring then :big_banana_Dance:

    hill descent fault, service advancetrac, and no offroad mode

    If you have a remote continuity tester run continuity between the plug at the control module to the plug at the 3rd brake light, do each prong and wiggle them to see if you can get continuity to break. Nice to have a second raptor for diagnostics parts!

    More Raptor Transmission Problems

    They will heat up pretty hot if you are pushing off road. At around 110mph mine start to climb to the point I have to slow it down to preserve the trans. Saudi cooler helps.

    Odd Sounds: Autostart & Ticking

    Yeah, there is a hood switch, I think it is on the drivers side about half way down the fender. They do this so you don't bump the remote start while you are changing belts :). Just close that switch with a clamp or zip tie.
