    Will Catch Can still be necessary?

    I'm not a fuel injection expert, and not claiming to have the answer. Simply highlighted two of the most sensible posts I saw from the other thread since FordTechOne is one of the most reliable resources on this forum. And the longer hose would explain some condensate, whether that should be...

    Will Catch Can still be necessary?

    Quoting @FordTechOne from one of the other 1000 threads on this topic, " A catch can is not needed unless you’re going to be using the truck for competition/high performance driving events. The factory PCV has an oil separator built into the valve cover. These engines are dual injection, meaning...

    Shelby F 150

    I'd sooner drop the coin on a Coyote and super charger for my Gen2 before buying that plastic barbie truck. Reminds me of Kim Kardashian with all those "bolt ons"

    2020: Two Warranty Case Studies & Good Video

    Engineering and isolating these stressors isn’t as simple as plugging numbers into some magical calculator for you. This is a system of components that will all respond differently to the larger diameter or heavier tire (though the mass is closer to the center of rotation). I don’t want to speak...

    GEN 2 to GEN 1, thoughts

    I'm just poking some fun. From my limited and anecdotal experience, the 3.5 eco boost has been a great engine. I'm good friends with my dealer owner, and the 3.5HO/ Raptor do not represent a large percentage of their service issues ( again volume comes into play). I don't have any special...

    GEN 2 to GEN 1, thoughts

    Looks like kidor joined the forums and is here with friends to bash the Gen 2 after his failed Lemon Lawsuit.

    Mods you wish you never did

    Thank you. That seems to be a very common complaint about the Eibach, which defeats the purpose of the Raptor for me. Guess I'll keep looking for 3.0's

    Mods you wish you never did

    As someone who is on the fence about going Eibach/Deaver or Factory 3.0, what makes you say the Eibach ruined the ride?

    need some help with engine knock warranty

    Essentially a non issue on the stock eco boost, so don’t let your mpt tune and high pressure fuel pump convince you that Ford did anything wrong. MPT tune was too aggressive, that’s not fords fault. Be honest with the SA and they might at least work with you to keep you happy and in a Ford. Just...

    Let us see them when you get them mounted up, I have had one set of Innov8 wheels in the past and had zero complaints!

    USA Made Wheels

    https://www.innov8racing.com/ You want US made, you have to be willing to pay for it, no one making $.10/day making these wheels. Simulated beadlocks look like they can be had for approximately $1100-$1500/wheel.

    I think I really like my 2020 better

    I had zero intention of buying a Raptor when I got my 2020, had zero idea Gen 2 was on the chopping block (my own failure to research). That being said, I'm still happy with my Gen2 and have contemplated getting rid of it several times but always back out. It is still a very good truck, and...

    KO2's ok for overlanding...or what's better?

    It's on my short list when it's time for new tires, primarily due to your recommendations coming from a place in OEM automotive engineering. Directly, or indirectly through osmosis if you will, you have far more exposure to tires and their reliability/performance than I could gather in lifetime...

    KIDOR Lemon Law Denied and Suspension Warranty Cancelled

    Hope he gets a TRX, let fiat have this lemon. (And I like the TRX, but not this guy)

    GEN 2 I rip off rear fox shock at 40 m/h

    Doesn't look like a bad weld. Looks much more like your boss (or whoever you are taking care of the truck for the winter) is going to be pissed. Good luck to you

    GEN 2 I rip off rear fox shock at 40 m/h

    So how big was the jump you hit at 80 mph? Can't see those metal brackets shearing off at 40 mph under any normal conditions.

    Raptor R Available in 35, 37 or both?

    I wish I had any faith in it actually being limited production, Gen1 was special compared to gen2. Gen 1 I don't see a ton of, but enough it seemed to satisfy the market. Gen 2 Raptor seems to be produced like an XLT quantity(sarcasm), but there's too many of them. Definitely lost the special...

    Lightning Raptor

    I hope you are correct, what's different now in my opinion, is that all of the major vehicle manufactures are making the same pledges (a cash grab no doubt), but we seem to be on a trajectory that will be death by a 1000 cuts rather than a rapid transition. Hopefully the markets can continue to...

    Lightning Raptor

    Can't wait for this "Net Zero" initiative to force us all into E cars, then Warren Buffet and Bill Gates who own the power grids will choke power supply or make it unaffordable, and say public transport is your only option, and next thing you know some government agency or trillion dollar...

    SVC Linked Kit

    Clearly makes more sense to just go Gen 3 for me though, not running anything like ZombieKiller, would like to entertain the idea though.
