    Do I need to add air to my tires to make this go away?

    I run at 40. Less side wall roll on street and I'm carrying between 500 and 700 lbs in the bed every weekend with load range C BFG K2s. It's all personal preference. It depends how you like your truck to handle

    I don't have to replace them. I noticed some blistering at the bottom of them. Most people wouldn't do it if there's looked like mine. But I have the cash now to do it so I'm starting to Restore my Gen 1 Beast. Has alot of milage but I love it so much that I just can't let it go. I rather put 25...

    I'm getting mine done real soon. A friend of mine that does auto body is doing it as a side job plus fix anything under the bed to make it look like a brand new truck again for 6 grand. It took him a while but he was able to find rocker patch kit from Ford. Si I didn't have to buy the entire...

    Gen1 To Gen2 conversion

    Don't have time or energy to go into all the testing and qualifications I have seen and go through to explain to you. Unfortunately you or someone will find out when you get in a collision and drive through yrs of inclement weather. In short the only advantage aluminum has is its light weight to...

    Gen1 To Gen2 conversion

    Wrong. Aircraft are alodined, primed and painted. Not bare. They don't get all the nasty crap they put on the roads and they Corode. We fix Corrosion on Planes every Damn day at work. Another reason Aircraft are continuously expected all the time. Aluminum is also prone to cracking cause it is...

    Gen1 To Gen2 conversion

    Aluminum Corodes actually easier than Steel rusts. If Steel is primed and sealed with good paint and maintained it lasts better than Aluminum. I been a Aviation Tech for well over 30 yrs and I see how easily Aluminum corodes on a daily basis and the planes aren't even on salty roads

    My high mileage 2019 Gen 2 [advice needed]

    Drive it and Enjoy it. Replace parts when necessary and proper maintenance is always key for longevity. Replacing parts is Still much cheaper than a New truck Payment. Hell mine is a 175,000 mile Gen1. I drive the crap out it cause I just LOVE driving the BEAST. Im now currently getting...

    GEN 2 Engine making strange noise. Time for a rebuild?

    Thats what I'm hoping for. But the service manager told me at my local dealership I always trust and go to, told me and makes sense that when Ford and as well as other vehicle manufacturers discontinue a certain model like a Gen 1 they stop production on big money items like engines and that...

    Drivers Side Heated Seat fixed with pictures

    I replaced mine without removing the seat. Easy job but like you mentioned those clips buried in the foam were a pain in the rear end

    Raptor Daily Driver?

    I drive the hell out of mine. Such a fun nice driving truck. 175,000 miles and counting. It is worse for a vehicle to sit than driven. It's a Machine, made to be driven, if the parts aren't moving then seals and such will dry out due to lack of lubrication and you will end up with leaks and...

    Having Trouble Deciding Between Gen 1 vs Gen 2

    There were 6.2L engines available in the Raptor in 2010 also. The 5.4 was the standard engine for it. 6.2 was an option in 2010

    Soft Brake Pedal

    Like Ford Tech 1 said. MAKE SURE you have the front pads in there correct location. The boxes don't say if they are inner or outer pads. I unfortunately made the mistake 1 time and had the pads in wrong position. Braking was horrible and they wore out. I had to get another set of front pads and...

    Brown Tires

    I have always used Westley's Black Wall Tire cleaner. Just spray on then a few times around with a scrub brush then rinse off.

    What truck would you consider selling your Raptor for?

    I be restoring my Gen 1. Just an AWSOME TRUCK. But the answer to the question is an New F150 with the Black Widow modes is the only thing that catches my eye. Seen a couple of them at my local dealership. Both had the 5.0 engine wich I prefer over a ecoboost. Both were around 83 grand wich make...

    Forgot to order Pano Sunroof on my 37 code orange

    Count your blessings. Sun roofs don't last. The cheap plastic parts that move it always end up dry roting and crap out and it costs big bucks to replace it. Mine crapped out yrs ago and I haven't fixed it yet cause my money always goes elsewhere lol
