    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    Yeh but you Won't brake the bank getting 90 hp with some simple mods. I got almost 30 with Long Tube Headers, CAI on a Eddy Current Dyno tune in my Gen1. Headers were expensive I'm just not doing the SC route yet until I do Forged internals. But you guys with the Gen 2 and 3s it won't cost you...

    Nope it's AWD. I watched the entire promo for it. Raptor Still KING

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    I don't think Ford needs to anything. The Current Raptor is still a superior truck plus we have RWD. The Dodge is AWD when not in 4 Wheel sucking gas. I bet the Current Raptor will beat it in a race

    GEN 1 Quick question factory fox shocks

    I'm at Mid Pirch. He told me it was a DOT thing that set the bumper height. Mid Perch was what what it was originally designed to sit

    GEN 1 Quick question factory fox shocks

    The guy that serviced mine set them 170 on my Gen 1. He told me was perfect setting cause it saves wear and tear on other suspension components like ball joints. Told me it was from testing they did. Could be wrong and argumentative but it sure does ride nice. I'm thinking about bumping them up...

    Shock exchange

    Need a good referral for doing Shock exchange program like Forged Offroad did. I used them in the past and had a very good experience with them but I think they are out of business cause I can't even get a website now. Is there anyone else that does this for Gen1 and Gens2s

    GEN 1 Quick question factory fox shocks

    That's why I'm asking. I'm assuming it's a separate reservoir, if so then it wouldn't matter, unlike the struts I service on Aircraft, for example I'll service a NLG strut at 245 psi at full extension on a Large Cabin Gulfstream but with weight on wheels its in the THOUSANDS. But just want to...

    Thank you for the quick response. Is there any way to find out if its different with weight on wheels? Not having any luck searching so far

    Sulfur smell

    Floor it a few times. Some times ya gotta clear the pipes. Usually its the cat build up in the exhaust. As from my experience. I regularly get on it with all my vehicles and never had the smell. My wife drives like a grandma so I will notice it in her car so I floor it a few times and it goes away

    Market Value thoughts?

    I'd just keep your Gen 1. Nice toy to have and if ya get rid it you may regret not having it to putting smiles on your face driving it. I miss my fox body mustangs. Lesson learned for me, my Gen1 is a keeper

    Rear suspension noise

    Do you have tail gate extenders? I used to hear a thud on big speed bumps and it was my tail gate extenders not being completely stowed. The pin wasn't all the way engaged

    I have Kooks Long Tube Headers and Roush CAI and custom tune. Really Woke the Truck up. Definitely noticeable difference from stock. Headers are pricey though costs as much as a SC. But the sound gives me a Huge Smile every time I Step on it. And I don't have to worry about added stress on a NA...

    best mods to keep truck running forever

    Yeh, one of the few. Compared to how many of these engines made if in a Raptor or a Super Duty, its pretty good odds it may not happen. Also there is No guarantee just changing them to change them mean it won't happen.

    best mods to keep truck running forever

    If ain't broke don't fix it. I only know of few mishaps of a broken valve spring. And there are thousands of 6.2l engines made. I personally have 187k miles on mine and had zero issues. Now I'm praying I didn't jinx myself but anyways you get the point

    Reliability

    I have over 187k on my Gen 1 and going STRONG. I've seen many High mileage Gen 2s also and going strong. Gen 3s are new but same overall drive train as the 2s. Maintenance is key to anything. Gen 2s have been plagued with cam phasers but thats been fixed. Tundra were plagued with Main crank...

    Totalled

    Damage on truck doesn't look that bad. All fixable. Im sure the inside is a bit messy due to the airbags. Let us know what the insurance company says. You could ask them not to total it. A guy I work with had his insurance company not total his VW TDI and it worked for him
