    First Raptor, love it but it has issues

    I bought it from a whole saler 3+ hours from my house. It was pretty much sight unseen but the body and frame and immaculate so is the interior for the most part. I think the previous owner was a younger kid whose parents had alot of money and they drove the truck until it wore out and they...

    First Raptor, love it but it has issues

    Even further update, the diff is assembled and back in the truck, hubs and ball joints replaced, IWE’s replaced, and everything is bolted back together. Just as I was double checking everything I noticed the vacuum lines for the IWE’s were broken and one side had a hole in it, so off to Ford...

    First Raptor, love it but it has issues

    First Raptor, love it but it has issues

    I figured out the previous owner had a Temu leveling kit on it that caused most of the issue, I just ordered OEM ford bearings for the diff, new front hubs, axels, and I’m not sure what IWE to put on, will the vacuum delete ones work? Or use OEM? Along with lower ball joints, in a couple weeks...

    First Raptor, love it but it has issues

    My major concern is the front diff issue, the cv axel is really loose in the diff but the snap ring is locked in, there is a knocking, clunking noise when slowing down under 20mph along with a mean vibration all through acceleration and cruising doesn’t matter how fast or slow it vibrates and...
