Nice, fast work! I'm glad it got done.

Fiberglass with a layer of Kevlar or Carbon/Kevlar facing the wheels to absorb the stone impacts.

Look for a used cylinder head, that is going to be your cheapest quickest fix. The heads on these are identical to the super duty, so they are plentiful. It looks like the damage to the piston is superficial?

We got most of it taken care of yesterday. Noah is at it again today though if anyone is up there!

I had a major squeak in mine that sounded like interior noise. The resolution ended up being tightening up the hood latch. This is a gen 1, but put your hands on the hood and give it a good shake, you will be able to hear it. The other thing you can do is sit in the truck and have someone...

I agree, if there is rust in the tank it needs to be dropped and replaced. How in the world rust gets into a tank that is made of plastic and has no ferrous components in it is beyond me. Also, I don't believe all the fuel system cleaners are good, or work equally well. The way I look at it is...

My experience with super 10's wasnt great, it was on a mustang but they droned badly, way louder inside than straight pipes were.

Your going to be unhappy with the dronemasters, they are going to be baritone and tinny rather than the low tone your looking for, and drone like crazy. From your description I think you want a set of glasspacks. Shorter are going to be louder and more rappy, longer are going to be smoother, the...

I think most of the fun of driving is finding new crap that needs to be "fixed" so I push everything pretty hard. Baker grade and grape vine are no joke, I spent some time hauling fire equipment in enterprise trucks for the forest service and that was always a slow go. It won't be the engine or...

Saying a lot without saying anything? I am pretty sure I showed that there is gain in octane, not loss. You sure your degree wasn't in politics? Can you quantify the cleaning agent not doing anything? What does it not do, any evidence that these blends don't function for their intended purpose...

36 gallon tank = 4608 oz 1 fuel treatment = 11 oz, 2 treatments required for 36 gallons total possible dilution 0.478% this means even if this was an unburnable mixture you would see an AFR change so small most PCM's wouldnt even make a correction, full power lambda of .73 under boost would need...

Water temp would peg, I started to slow down when it hit 230° and would just drive the truck at whatever speed allowed me to maintain something below that (towing a 9500lb RV trailer). The truck had the wagner intercooler on it, the intercooler upgrade helped a bunch because it wouldn't start...

If the threads are damaged you can have an insert put in. Most ford dealers will have the tooling to do this (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cav-38900/make/ford) the tritons had a problem spitting out plugs, same thread on the plugs. This can be done with the head on the truck.

Mileage is great for boost, a little cylinder bore wear means the ring gaps are opened up :devilfinger:.

I ran a full race radiator on my 11 ecoboost, quality was good. Overall the increase in cooling when towing was marginal, bought a little time before I had to back out of it but once heat soak happened I was still slowed down, and it put to much heat in it to get back going full boogie, I...

+ = Straight everything.

The plugs blowing out of the 3v was a fairly inexpensive / quick fix. Once you bought the kit it was kind of no big deal, just keep the kit in the truck, or you could limp the truck hundreds of miles with a blown plug. The later 3v had that problem fixed. The 3.5l problems are not side of the...

You are correct, this screenshot is from a stock 14'

Plenty of misinformation going on in this thread, from people who may not have any actual tuning experience, or even engine control logic experience. @letsgetthisdone is giving a bunch of sound advice. The tuner should have already built your tune around e10, they change the stoich number in...

I went through the "trying to keep it cool" rigmarole on my ecoboost, I towed 9k+ with a large frontal area all over the Rockies and west. Full race radiator made a big difference, wasn't enough, aux trans cooler helped a little, wasn't enough, straight water with water wetter in the summer...

I think the step away from V8 is just a buisiness ploy, Ford has way to much wrapped up in the ecoboost to eclipse it with any other engine. Dodge and Chevy are still offering V8 in everything, no reason Ford can't. We also know they can make v8's make great power, the current Shelby's are a...

What a troll fest of a topic. People should feel free to do whatever they like to their vehicles, make them their own. Whether it's a Honda or a Ferrari, and if you don't like it, and don't have anything nice to say... **** off. I don't care if it's a moped with straight pipes and a rainbow...

If someone needs an HPT file for SC raptor pm me, this site wont allow HPT files as attachments.

Please don't think I am coming down on you in this post, I intend in no way to be mean, just protective. It is clear you lack the mechanical skills to tell if there is something really wrong with this truck. It could be just a tune, but it could be a myriad of other things some of which can be...
