So as I do some more reading on the Gen 3's, there seems to be a hangup for me mentally with no ability to do a tune, turbo upgrades, etc. I might actually be better off trying to swap in live valve shocks and dealing with the slightly smaller screen to gain the ability for horsepowers lol

I know it's been a while since I updated on this post, but I actually had a great outcome with my local dealer. I ended up flashing the PCM and TCM back to stock calibration via Forscan by loading it as a firmware update. The dealer got an entire replacement crate transmission put in under...

The ordered one for $82,670 was without 37PP. It jacked the price up to ~$88K. The idea there is that I'd do my own 37's on 18's with a lift. Trade in via KBB is saying 55-59K. I know mods don't usually mean much, but there is certainly $10K+ in aftermarket on the truck. 35x12.50's. I think...

Looking at trading or selling private my 18 Gen 2 and moving up to a Gen 3. It's mostly for getting the newer interior. I've been very happy with my Gen 2 (other than the transmission, which my local dealer took care of very well), so I was hemming and hawing about either building up my Gen 2...

Wanna send me one of your old ones?? :)

@FordTechOne So it turns out the transmission tech who I took for a ride this morning is a long time customer of mine at my retail store. He thinks it's almost for sure the CDF drum. He's going to try to have the whole transmission replaced under warranty but at a minimum a full rebuild with a...

I think it’s actually very throaty compared to a lot of them. Just pricey at like $2500 for both pieces.

That sounds awesome. Now I’m torn. I have downpipes and was going to do the roush or stainless works (mainly because ~ $1k for downpipe all the back)

Yeah that’s what I figured. One if my close friends knows the service manager so he’s coming with me tomorrow. I guess I’ll take my chances and see what we can come up with. Honestly I’m hoping it’s something like low fluid or the like since it seems to be ok once the transmission is up to temp.

Having some hard shifting and transmission issues when the truck is cold so I have an appt at the dealer tomorrow to have it looked at and an oil change done. I went to go return the tune to stock on the nGauge (came with truck, tune is from Brew City Boost, now out of business) and it said the...

For anyone in this thread that replaced the end links… do you still have your old ones? I’d like to design some replacements with disconnects. My truck is my daily or I’d pull one off.

Thanks. Looks to be about $100 more than the PPE. I wish B&M made a 10R80 pan so I could match LOL

Good to hear! It’s probably one of those mods that’s a piece of a bigger puzzle like when going bigger turbos, inlets, etc

Have my B&M rear diff cover sitting here and was thinking of doing front diff, tranny and transfer case fluids all at the same time. I get some hard shifts when the temps are 40 and below here. I know I’m also at only 36k so it’s a little premature for fluids but I figure it couldn’t hurt to...

Any updates to how this is working out for ya?

Mine just shipped!

Yeah I know that would be the right way. I may hold off until I do the bumper, 37’s and +2 fenders to see how it looks.

I certainly don’t need it. I do like the way the truck looks now. Like I said above. Maybe a 3/8” plate would be enough above the hat. 37’s in the spring. I’m sure I’ll be happy.

Aside from the $6k price tag, everything I read was they’re only +2.5” so wouldn’t I lose another 0.5” up front?

Yeah they said it’s designed to work with the stock spring so I’m back to figuring out how to add 1-2” to the front with none or minimal preload.

Just spoke to SDI and they don't recommend using their bucket because it'll create "too much rebound for the stock components." So I'm back to thinking about just making a 3/8-1/2" plate spacer to go above the hat to give the front just a tad bit more height.

Saw these up for preorder and I was planning on grabbing them once they're available. https://gj-motorsports.com/Suspension/Sway-Bar-Links/Quick-Disconnect-Sway-Bar-Links-Ford-F-150-Raptor-2017-2020 I messaged them to see how long out they are because otherwise, I might just make them up...

Thinking about adding these to the top of the front struts: https://www.suspensiondirect.com/shop/sdi-elite-gen-2-3-ford-raptor-front-bucket-assembly Says 1.75" which should bring the front back up slightly. Plenty of room for 0 offset wheels and 37s, maybe even 38s.

Just measured again: FL: 41 FR: 41.5 RL: 43.75 RR: 44.5 The parking lot I just stopped at probably isn’t perfectly level so it seems like both front and rear have settled about an inch. A spacer plate might give it just enough in the front to take out some of the rake as I don’t want to do...

I didn’t measure beforehand but my collars were set to the 1.5” and I’d say I gained about another 1.5” up front and a full 3-4” in the back
