    Gen 3 Diamondback HD Hard Tonneau Cover

    Let me know if you have any questions. They are a pretty straight forward install. Just a few weird angles/positions to get the brackets into the frame rail.

    Gen 3 Caution: Tailgate Removal and Battery changing causing issues: Fixed!

    I’ve been extremely pleased with Line x over the years. never had an issue with anything I’ve had done. My local guy cares and does things right. factory liners are a convince for sure, but as I stated previously I’ve had issue with Ford liners as of late.

    Things to check after taking delivery

    Another prevailing issue that is coming to light is the brake line rubbing the inside of the front tire. Obvious sign is a worn ring around the side if the tire where the brake line is rubbing, with the culprit being how the brake line is routed/secured to the a arms. Pictures and post other...

    Agreed on pushing down various plastic fasteners. found a few going over the truck. Half pushed in fuses are unfortunately common affair. thanks for the suggestions!

    Gen 3 Diamondback HD Hard Tonneau Cover

    Are you talking about the bedstep? if so it tucks up and in pretty far… fender flare sticks down further than a “normal’ f150, but after chatting with amp they don’t have any plans to change or make revisions just for the raptor.

    Gen 3 Diamondback HD Hard Tonneau Cover

    No I did not have any issue. when I first installed the tailgate would stop every other time, but after I let it sit overnight and let the rubber seals compress/seat in it’s opened/closed (power assisted) every time. And is still 99% water tight. As it wears in a little I may adjust to get the...

    I’m only at 500 miles and just did my first fill up. Getting 13.8 mpg. Mixed driving 60/40 highway to local. 35’s w/ a tonneau cover. been pretty easy on it thus far for break in. Hoping it gets a little better after I get more miles on it.

    Gen 3 Caution: Tailgate Removal and Battery changing causing issues: Fixed!

    hope yours is ok. you Would notice right away around your edges if it was wonky. I don’t think it’s a huge wide spread issue, but maybe someone got lazy at the factory spraying on a Friday afternoon. one Of mine started chipping off up near the bulkhead. The other was the rear edge near the...

    Gen 3 Caution: Tailgate Removal and Battery changing causing issues: Fixed!

    I’ve had 3 new Ford trucks in the past 2 years (personal and company trucks), all 3 had Ford Factory Spray in liners. 2 out of the 3 had to be redone due to faulty spray in liner from Ford. The two that were bad stared chipping and pealing away both within the first two months of owning them...

    Gen 3 Caution: Tailgate Removal and Battery changing causing issues: Fixed!

    Crazy to think tailgate is causing these issues. hoepfully things do get worked out, but I’m guessing it will be 6 months or so until it gets sorted. This issue is not specific to just Raptors, but 21 f150’s that have all the same rear sensors etc. Rampage lifts are awesome. post up some...

    Things to check after taking delivery

    Certainly a different world with supply chain issues, worker shortages etc. And with most of us having to order these trucks and waiting what seems like an eternity we are at the mercy of what shows up. 1000% agree that anyone dropping the coin that these trucks cost should go over it 10 ways...

    Weird funnel looking thing

    I ripped mine out after seeing these posts, and plan to use it as a funnel to refill the exhaust flapper valve fluid. real PIA to keep full and the cold start rattles down. this should do the trick alternatively may also use it to fix the rear fan/propower noise by directing the air flow toward...

    Gen 3 Caution: Tailgate Removal and Battery changing causing issues: Fixed!

    In my specific case after reading about the potential issue I reached back out directly to my linex guy. Since he has the relationship with the local Ford dealer he was the one who called and inquired/told them about the issue. ‘’’he was also able to get me an earlier appointment than I could on...

    Things to check after taking delivery

    We have seen random/minor blemishes on the gen3’s, none that I’m aware of in that location. maybe the tech installing the fender Vent pushed a little to hard on fresh paint. ‘’’hope the dealer takes care of you. Thankfully looks like a small‘ish spot.
