    Any aftermarket exhaust available for the R?

    I am not sure I understand your scoring item. Are you giving it a 10 for deepest V8 growl? Or are you talking about how it sounds in each gear? Either way, I am looking for the deep sound, the voodoo already gives me the raspy sound haha. Thank you, I think i figured out my exhaust...

    Did you happen to take any videos of the borla with the stock tips?

    Official 2024 R Quality Issues

    Of all of these, I think the one that pisses me off the most for you, is the oxidation on the shocks. That isn't going to be easy to fix, and will probably require the replacement. Sounds like you figured out the headlight, which, phew, that was lucky. For the bumper, I am starting to beleive...

    We just got our 2024 37 Package (See Pics) What do you guys think? What Mods would you like us to make for you?

    Have a R on order, and a little concerned about the bumper light situation. With these new bumpers, there is no ability to fit large cubes. So whats the workaround?

    Extended Engine Cranking when starting

    Funny you mention the voodoo, my GT350 has extended crank from time to time if I hot restart it. Happens 1-2 times a summer. I"ve never been too worried about it, and after coming from a cammed LS3, any restart is shorter than a hot restart on a cammed car lol.

    Official Raptor R Modification Thread

    Question though, are we sure that nothing has been changed? Sure, 21 to 23 trucks were the same, but there was a lot of consolidation for 24, so its possible that harnesses and plugs aren't the same anymore. I already swapped my 22 to having digital dials, but i'm not sure I'd do it again not...

    Pulley/belt squeak

    Its possible if there is too much tension and the tensioner isn't providing enough slack, that its wearing through the bearing on the idler that quick. However, 2 different people with it....thats odd. Oil levels look good?

    Raptor R Fake Engine Noise in Cab?

    I mean, who cares if it does. Buy the Borla system, open your windows, and just listen to the real stuff.

    Oh yeah, no personal insult there, more of an insult on us all as a group haha.

    Pulley/belt squeak

    Back of your manual should show it. It will be a layout showing you the routing of your belts. Swapping an idler is quick. You'll need a crowbar to de-tension the tensioner and slip the belt off. Then its a matter of taking the old one off and swapping the new one on, then putting the belt...

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    I hope the highs are better than a HUD, which I had in a camaro 12 years ago lol, and a heated steering wheel which has been a thing in most cars for over a decade. Otherwise, we have set the bar very very low haha.

    Pulley/belt squeak

    See if you can get close enough to determine if its a tensioner or idler pulley. If its an idler, won't lie, easier to replace it yourself than go through the cycle with a dealer. They can randomly have a faulty bearing.

    Raptor R intake?

    S&B also claims to provide additional blower volume. Not sure how real that is, or if you really have to be beating on it to get any added value.

    Ford premium maintenance plan

    I think there is some flexibility in the "shock" service. My Gen 1 had 80k miles on it with the original shocks and they had only just developed a squeak if there was weight in the bed. You replace your shocks when they are bad, you don't just preemptively replace $5k parts.

    Raptor R intake?

    I sense an overwhelming amount of boomer justification and degradation. This is the same sort of odd and awkward conversation I hear from my old man, its vomit-worthy.

    Raptor R intake?

    40 miles isn't nearly enough to get a running average. 40 miles can be susceptible to climbing hills, or descending down hills, and will skew the numbers. By running more miles, you will remove the outliers and find a much stronger average. I don't think anyone has ever said that having more...

    Are your rear liners and rokblokz the same for the R as the normal gen 3? Hoping to reuse what I have.

    I think thats going to be a winner. The Borla tips make it too raspy.

    Oil seperator / catch can for the R

    J&L OSC also makes catch cans. They currently don't offer one for the Raptor R (already make one for the GT500 with the predator), but I reached out and they said they are hoping to have one in the coming months. I have been running these on various cars for probably 6-7 yrs with good results...

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    Oh, its not that. Its just that many times if you take a risk on an option, there is no going back. But in this case, you do have the option to get rid of it. Thats all.

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    The picture is actually what just sold me on the rings haha. The rings are also a dealer installed option, so if you don't like them, you can remove them. Its an eaten cost, but it is reversible.

    Daily Driver + Sports Car --> Raptor

    I certainly get you there. I was ready to move on from a stick either way though, I already put myself on the list for the next gen GT500 if I didn't get a R first. So the stick was out the door one way or another.

    Daily Driver + Sports Car --> Raptor

    Thank you for the input. The problem, at least for me, is that the 350 just sits...and sits...and sits. I barely have reasons to take it places. So its insurance and other costs just to sit under a car cover. And even if I can take it places, many places don't accommodate a low sitting...
