Love the stock wheels. Bear in mind when trying to save weight that all 17" wheels are not the same...important when considering that these trucks can fly. On other trucks I've tended to upgrade within the OEM wheel lineup, e.g., had Z71 Tahoe wheels on my last Sierra with GMC center caps...

I guess what bugs me most about UAW types is the way the union PR reps act. Have seen interviews where a manufacturer will state its case quite well and logically, and then the union guy rebuts by stating that the manufacturer is "out to get them" and has "tons of money". The union guy will...

Don't mean to be rude, but monthly payment is a completely irrelevant number if you're shopping for a truck and are going to finance it. It's a number you figure out on your own. You should only be concerned with the negotiated price of the truck, negotiated price of your trade-in (if...

Not automatically. Even if you think you are, do not ever admit fault in an auto accident of any kind. Did he play the typical California game of "I have the right of way because I'm on the main street no matter what so you'd better stop even though I have plenty of opportunity to avoid a...

Really dislike their stuff in general. Their mesh grilles with the surround, i.e.: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41u5FqXmabL._SL500_AA300_.jpg have nothing short of extraordinary prices...i.e.: Amazon.com: RBP 251113 RX Series Black Studded Frame Main Grille, (1 Piece): Automotive...

Are they available without the "tits"?

Have a 2011 crew, loaded minus graphics, and wouldn't mind adding some of the 2012 options. It's probably a bit early for this as we haven't seen the implementation of some of the features yet. Front diff: Torsen diffs are purely mechanical (correct?)... so I'm guessing that is doable. No...

Guessing that should have been manually shifted. The "brake rotor glow" appears to be a red lighting shining off the machined outer edge of the wheels. I'll never quite understand pulls and tug-of-war competitions..seems like the opposite of proper motorsport, i.e., trying to get as close to...

Any normal cable will plug into port #2 (and maybe #1 as well). I believe the Ford ones are notched so they will only plug into one port or the other. To move the existing OEM cable to port #2, you have to file it a bit. I just ran the new one to port #2. I listen to it about 95% of the...

Sorry, was meaning as to whether it currently ever works at all with the truck...i.e., if this is intermittent or it happens every time?

I do laugh at the idiots hauling ass with 18" apes, wearing illegal novelty helmets with no protection, with sissy bars that terminate in a giant spike. There are plenty of dipshits on sportbikes too though. On Beach Blvd in HB, you'll regularly see the "squids" going out to the ocean to...

Does the phone ever work at all? When you say "taking the music off"...I would not bother removing music from the phone. Won't have any effect on the Bluetooth pairing. With the phone and truck seemingly communicating, on the phone try going to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth...

I don't ride a Harley (but do ride an R1200GS and an FZ1). Where I ride I'd say I see 50% of the bikes on the road are Harleys or other cruisers (with Harleys outnumbering the other cruisers 10:1). And I'm talking about the *canyons* of Southern California here... I can't imagine the ratio...

That has to be a photoshop accident, guessing they started with a silver truck. Have seen some really *bad* OEM photoshops. The GMC brochure for my last truck had a longbed where some genius had "cleaned it up" by melding the bed and cab together. I *really* hope they're putting HIDs in the...

Anyone been able to actually see a powertrain-type DTC and clear it yet?

Yours is out of an Expedition or SuperDuty right? Still a Sync Nav but in the double-DIN-sized modular enclosure rather than fully integrated into the dash? If that's the case I'm a bit surprised given the SuperDuty thread that indicates it works there. According to that link, they say it...

Very nicely done. Loved the "big" scenes with the very small amount of moving subject matter in them (have no idea what that technique is called), e.g., the bug-on-sand at the beginning.

I still can't believe I've never heard of this before...happened upon it on a Ford Escape forum while googling for a way to enter GPS coordinates into a Sync nav....which unfortunately you CANNOT do. Latlong and altitude on the main screen I think. The altitude is in meters. The latlong is...

I just discovered the navigation unit's "bezel diagnostics" feature. To enter it, hold down the "3" and "6" preset buttons. It will begin a speaker test. You can end the speaker test immediately by pressing the "end test" button in the lower right corner to proceed directly to the "bezel...

Flex, Mustang, Taurus (sure looks like it and isn't Myford Touch). Expedition and Superduty unit is essentially same software in a double-DIN-ish enclosure (but with climate removed). Speakers/sub/amp in the Sony system are crap and can be replaced, but the head unit is not. It's a pretty...

I too am thinking about getting one of these. I wanted to hold out for HPTuners to support 6.2Ls as I love doing this myself, but am guessing that's never going to happen. And if it does, I can always untune mine and sell it. Do you all see any economy gain/loss with them running stock? Are...

Congrats, post up pics! Is this the most optioned Raptor possible, i.e., orange everything, all graphics, etc?

ChadB has a supercrew, correct? So this means they're faster. Period. End of discussion. :ROFLJest: j/k and glad you guys had a successful run! What's the expense total to do one of these (for the first time)? I gather it's $500 for the run itself, $300 for a decent radio and $550...

Manual says don't run a constant speed or tow for the first 1,000 miles. I'd follow that.
