Driving time. Spend the money on fuel, tires and maintenance. Nothing will improve the capability of the truck more. If you can swing it go to driving school, doesn't matter if it is rally, drifting, road race or off road; learning vehicle mechanics will pay massive dividends. And the skill...

Check your CV joints.

I am dealing with this on a local guys truck. In the case of his truck the input side bearing has play. To me that means full rebuild and here is why: If one bearing has play that means that hardened bearing material has probably gone through every other bearing in the axle, the metal plug works...

Any evidence of rust? I would be inclined to have the windshield removed to make sure you get the root cause either way. Would suck to have it done just to have it start again. A sand, mask, single stage spray and blend is going to be cheaper than someone pulling the glass, taking it down to...

I though frame change was 13', semantics though. Before that date there is nothing "bespoke" about a raptor frame, unless the customer had work done on the frame, which would actually make it bespoke, rather than vehicle specific.

10 year old thread, nice revival.

That should be attached to the front dif. Best fix is a new hose, you could also grab a double end hose barb and ram it in there. Why would it be cut? Because people are lazy.

Stick a resonator on it, that will kill the drone, make it a touch quieter cruising, and not effect the tone much.

Check for damage on the harness that runs between the body and the door, you will have to pull the little rubber boot back.

What is deficient in the factory stuff? Is it a longevity issue or an output thing?

Will there be a shock body developed for the rear or is the valving already appropriate?

I used all stock parts from the 13-14 housings and used morimoto's harness https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto-09-14-f150-oem-hid-conversion-harness?quantity=1 Works good.

Ask JDM to back down the throttle sensitivity a bit, that's a lot easier than doing a torque convertor :)

I don't think any of the stock travel shocks gain any travel. Icons, kings, whatever they are all limited by the control arm and CV geometry. You would need to go to a long travel setup.

They are usefull for anything with forced induction. Otherwise I agree with @II Sevv

Really not anything to panic about. Unless your actively dripping oil or see it getting on brake system components it isn't a big deal. 10 year old trucks, stuff leaks.

String and measuring tape.

Find a competent tuner. You can make a 6r80 drive like stock with a 4k stall if you want, until your on it. I wouldn't go that crazy on a Raptor but with the lockup function and a quality convertor you really can get away with a lot.

You can also get premium trials for free as many times as you want, which gives you access to all the control modules.

I haven't had mine done. If you buy a "remanufactured" unit with a core charge you are essentially paying for a rebuild.

What are the individual leaf thicknesses? Are they the same width?

Gen 2 should have thinner leaves, its a lighter truck.

https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/replace-seat-heaters-cushions-and-upholstery.79843/ Refer to post 7, look at how badly the seat bottom foam was worn. They don't last forever :/

Not meaning to sound harsh but you did a half way repair. You didn't remove all of the rust. You sealed the area in with fiberglass, ensuring whatever water ends up in there can't get out. When you do rust repair all of the bad metal needs removed, any leftover rust will propagate (that is why...

It's going to be in all your HVAC plumbing, inside the door panels, in the carpet and jute backing, behind all the plastic panels, in the dash etc. You will need to strip the interior, replace all the permeable stuff, scrub everything else, scrub all the sheet metal, clean every inch of wire...
