    Hot interior + A/C on AUTO = low fan speed?

    Mine seems to be over-aggressive about the blower speed. Wish they the fan speed control allowed you to set the "intensity" of the auto climate when in auto mode, like some of the German items.

    my 2011 order

    As a tux black owner, I wouldn't want regular solid non-metallic black. This thing is half as difficult to make look clean as was my "pure" black '03 Silverado. Pure black shows *every* imperfection. Just my opinion of course, and have never dealt with a pure black Ford. I suppose this is...

    A Ford tech's take on "THE CLUNK" (THE ONE and ONLY CLUNK THREAD)

    Fantastic! I'll have to swing by there soon and have them order one for me (assume they're not just going to start stocking them?) I've had the clunk for far too long now.

    Let's play a game: Guess the Rental

    Damnit... and here I had just Googled up a list of all makes and models for a single post. :D

    Change of plans on Audio....think Sony system is unserviceable.

    The more I listen to this thing the more I hate it. Just played a track on the Sony system and then listened to it on my $160 Klipsch Computer Speakers...there is no comparison. It's just painful. It's broken. Went by a local higher-end audio shop (Beach Autosound in Huntington Beach)...

    Outlaw Raptor RSV 2

    Looks great! Make sure your graphics guy is a ware that "Monster Energy" is missing the "Y" if that is going to print!

    Blind no more!

    ARGH. Just say no to HID bulbs in halogen reflectors.

    2011 Ford Raptor Crew Cab build

    Our trucks don't have backup lights. They have backup indicators. Or perhaps I'm using them wrong. I've never seen a vehicle with worse backup lighting. I hold my left foot on the brake to see in the backup camera when reversing.

    Why is Tuxedo Black so desiereable?

    How dare you attempt to pit your science against my magical theory? :ROFLJest:

    Raptor For Sale - 2 Million Dollars

    I bet it looks a heck of a lot better in person. Veyron colors tend to be *ODD* to say they least.

    is the grinding noise in hill descent normal?

    This was me trying it (skip to 1:40). JJQRQUgKhfE The ABS almost sounded like a squealing belt. Never tried this feature on any vehicle before, but the noise makes sense IMO.

    Why is Tuxedo Black so desiereable?

    I think 50% of them are black. Lot of this is due to it being the only one to get the 411hp 6.2L. The other colors are only rated at 370hp. Fact. On the internet. Indisputable.

    Definitely liking the colormatched flares, may do that someday. Is that middle or bottom perch?

    How to increase gas mileage

    Yes, but it has better aerodynamics than a couch. Probably even better than a racing couch. rzAmVCy68J8

    Toyota recalling Tundras for Slip Yoke Issues

    If it's in their code, and if the problem is fundamental to their software development process, it will take more effort to correct than any possible mechanical part ever could (i.e., multiple years if they're proactive about it, forever if not). Even if it's not fundamental, a problem like...

    Toyota recalling Tundras for Slip Yoke Issues

    I don't think it was a pedal issue. Was either inadequate EMF protection or an error / "race condition" (no pun intended) in the code. Some of the statements the company publicly made regarding how it simply "could not" be software conveyed a lack of understanding of how software works. It's...

    Toyota recalling Tundras for Slip Yoke Issues

    Can't really fault them for a minor issue like that. Everyone fucks up. Now covering up a software engineering problem as a minor mechanical issue (unintended acceleration), that I can fault them for. Can't be 100% certain it happened, but as a developer I have a serious "hunch" from the...

    Pondering replacing all speakers (not subwoofer)

    Poly fill installed. Pretty sure I was the only Raptor in the Joann Fabrics parking lot. :roflsquared: Think it's an improvement, need to go test side-by-side with kglesq's stock sub. If anything it quieted it a little bit (a good thing).

    Pondering replacing all speakers (not subwoofer)

    Thanks for the info! Definitely don't want to do an aftermarket HU though as I'm a fan of the Sync system and stock navigation integration, was one of the strongest selling points for me on the 09+ F-150 before I made the "mistake" of test driving a Raptor. I just went out and played...

    BLUEWAVE'S Raptor build

    Frickin gorgeous. Love the M3 carbon trim and the audio setup....and everything else. Where is the amp mounted? And if you don't mind me asking, what was the cost breakdown on having that done? Guessing it was very steep given the incredible quality of work. Bummed that shop is 3000 miles...

    What will it be worth?

    GMC Syclone/Typhoon is probably a good model for it. Most all of them will be beat to shit.

    Fuel Economy fix?

    If it's anything like my last truck (GM), just about any tuner (handheld, profressional, Ford's own) should be able to correct it.

    M shift

    As for the "Full manual" mode...not particularly impressed by it. Seems to be very slow to activate. It's thus not useful or fun in normal on-road conditions. I may enjoy it more for going up the hill to Brian Head where there are a few places where I want a truck to hold 2nd or 3rd gear and...
