Nobody's going to like this, most especially the guys in the business. (Hi Noah, how ya doin'?) A vehicle is an inherently poor listening environment. What's the most common mod that Raptor owners do? Exhaust. And what's the nearly inevitable result of installing an aftermarket exhaust...

@No Brakes , I see that you live in Oregon. If you live far enough north that you get freezing fog, sleet, or snow, you might want to reconsider the lights you put down low. Fog lights, for example, tend to get sprayed with frozen or freezing junk from the vehicles on the road in front of you...

Bingo! Might as well put that dough toward an aftermarket pan with a drain plug!

All that so that you don't burn your knuckles! LOL! But the measuring advice is wise. I use two of those big plastic containers that cat litter comes in, graduated in advance in one-quart increments. That way I get real close on the refill. Important reminder: You cannot refill the...

Granted. But filters filter, and as they do they load up with junk. Disagree? Then you'll save some money on oil filters.

If you want to double check the shop's work you will have to get under the truck with it running and fully up to temperature and burn your hand. If you are willing to do that, you might as well do the job yourself. There is an alternative: Install the B&M remote dipstick...

First I've heard this. If the source of this sage advice is the manufacturer, then it's highly suspect. @letsgetthisdone , I have the aFe pan, too.

Go to O'Reilly's with your VIN and have them give you the filter according to the VIN. If you go to other auto parts stores with just the standard make/model/year information they may offer you several different filters. I experienced that first-hand. It's a messy job as @B E N indicated. I...

I use the Dimple plug, too. Good results. There is enough splash inside the differential to make it effective.

Does Ford Raptor Lights carry halogen fog lights or just LEDs? I live north enough that LED fog lights don't get warm enough to self-defrost and quickly lose their effectiveness as they load up with cold road gunk thrown by other vehicles and slush.

Factory breather system on the front differential, and try as I might I can't find where the heck it goes! Do you know??? Tubing remains flexible, so a crack seems unlikely. Thank you for weighing in. :)

Drained and refilled the front differential today. I do it every year, because I find water adulteration every year. The breather hose is properly attached, so I am at a loss as to how water moisture gets into the front axle system. Does anyone have any wisdom on this, please?

It's a bit different in Corpus Christi than in Minneapolis. You can get another "winter" out of a set of tires in Corpus Christi that would be lunacy in the northlands. Keep that in mind. But there is one universal indicator that is built into your tires - the wear bars. Have a look.

I use the Amsoil one quart flexible packs at first, and then top off with a big medical syringe with a short piece of aquarium tubing on the business end. The syringe technique eliminates big drool clean-ups.

Tuffy is steel, locks, not difficult to install, and effective.

Well, lemme see. The right side headlight costs $211.84. https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/electrical/headlamps/headlamp-assy-6566183-1 And the left side headlight costs $208.43. https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/electrical/headlamps/headlamp-assy-6424637-1 Mighty interesting. Could be that...

That's for a 2018. Your original post read, " Morimoto just announced/released their 2nd Generation XB Headlights for the Gen2 Raptors (and 2015-2017 F150s). This follows their announcement a few weeks ago, upgrading the 2018+ F150 Headlights to a newer version." And you provided a link that...

If you have a point to make, post the link to the Ford part.

$750 for EACH headlight. Those babies must produce the most expensive photons in automotive history.

I have over 85,000 miles on my GEN1 and have changed the oil every 6,000 miles at home by removing the skid plate. Six bolts. Not a problem. I would say that if six bolts deters you from protecting your engine, then you don't need any skid plates at all.

If the OEMs adopt this technology and make it standard equipment, then you will pay for it involuntarily. Would that make you feel better or worse about it? This is expensive, unnecessary, and potentially intrusive electronic bling. Think glow-in-the-dark boxer shorts with sequins, with a...

Torque sticks are valuable in a commercial shop where throughput means money. They're fast. Accuracy is a lesser concern when it ain't your truck. My torque wrench works just fine.

I have discovered a solution that is way, way better and longer lasting than Rain-X: Bio-Clean Superior Silicone Sealant.

You will find it much, much easier to subscribe than to unsubscribe. Those people do not understand the word "no," and will bill you month by month while they continue to ignore your vain attempts to unsubscribe.

@GEAngulo09 , your vehicle can be badly out of alignment and still won't pull to one side or the other. That's a common misconception. I meant an alignment in which all four wheels are hooked up to the alignment machine, measurements are taken at all four wheels, etc. More expensive and much...
