    Newbie Picked up 1 of the 5 Raptor Crate engines for F100 Engine Swap

    Well done, I’ve kicked around the idea of doing something like this quite strongly. My wife like most women likes to play dress up and says we need a classic Sunday cruiser. By the time the kids move out maybe ford will have a drop in ev set up for us to play with. I hate to say it but I’m...

    How much would YOU charge…

    You guys are going to shit your shorts on the price and availability of those. Way cheaper to rebuild if possible and it likely is.

    Misfire only 6th gear.

    All my older f1shittys displayed the exact thing. Classic case of ford plug/packs being worn out or damaged. Fortunately ford got the plug threads right on the 6.2 I’ve never had an issue changing them.

    Need help with new pcm

    When I first bought my truck I had this done just to make sure I was starting from scratch. Also needed a new master Mkey or whatever can’t remember. They only charged me for the key itself. As stated it’s an easy procedure that the service advisor did in about 20 minutes. Definitely recommend...

    Gen 3 to Gen 1 consideration

    All jokes aside the gen2-3 are newer more engineered and as result better in performance. In factory spec the gen1 is rather primitive. Which is what I think were discussing. The primitive 150 side of the equation is a catch 22. I will agree with ford tech. Theres no way in hell a gen1 will hold...

    GEN 1 Update: Broken Plug ... Isn't Broken

    Im surprised you didn’t have to cut the boots off. Glad you didn’t, everyone got their moneys worth on that set of plugs.

    One sided parking light issue

    Mine does it as well. I’ve assumed it was the bulb but I’ve never made time to find out.

    Low Idle Issues / Stalling - Solved

    Well in short there are thousands of well modded/tuned trucks on this forum not experiencing premature coil pack pack failure or any other. A bad tune can easily give you headaches much worse than a coil pack.

    Low Idle Issues / Stalling - Solved

    Well your logic is flawed. Just yesterday I did my coils,plugs, and wires. I too had one arcing. About a two inch arc in fact running the body of the coil. Anyway I bought a 100 dollar set off Amazon 2 years ago(83k miles). Only the one failed, truck is tuned so I don’t think it has anything to...

    Balanced Out

    So glad I got the idea of a gen3 out of my head.

    Livernois Head/Cam Package power loss confusion

    I was having knock issues. The more they tried to fix it the worse it got in some revisions. At one point the truck popped like a suburu when I let off the gas. Then came the “we’ve tuned hundred of these trucks” and are you sure it’s not this or that and not us. I gave up at that point and...

    Livernois Head/Cam Package power loss confusion

    Right on, I’m not expecting massive 200hp power increases. I really just want to rev the **** out of it. Considering their higher compression pistons as well. Our central air took a shit a month ago and the motor build came to a screeching halt. Thanks for the reply, glad they got it sorted...

    My Gen2 has a road pothole sensor, does yours too?

    Man I feel the pain here. There’s a lot of ****** dealerships out there. Some really good ones too. I’m in a pickle with a certain Volvo dealership regarding my wife’s brand new xc40. We will probably end up driving to a different location too. Hope it works out for ya. You bought a great truck...

    Ford to layoff 8000

    Ford should instead send those 8000 people out to clean up/catch up some dealership service departments.

    Livernois Head/Cam Package power loss confusion

    Hey so I spoke to another guy. Really resourceful. Talk to Chris. I’ll add that I should have this spare long block built and installed by October. Damn thing is so clean it would have gone another 200k .

    Livernois Head/Cam Package power loss confusion

    I’d really like to know the outcome also. I took my spare engine down this weekend with plans on sending the heads to them for stage 3. I’ve spoken to them twice, once to a very nice and smart guy that genuinely knew what he was talking about. The second time to a cocky little guy that didn’t...

    2010 6.2L horrible engine noise

    I’m pulling mine from the front. To the OP, 8 grand is a lot of money to be going back in stock. Maybe look around a bit. I found my donor for $1500 and it was in running order. I’m not sure what they are going for today but I’d guess not much more. Keep in mind also that craftsmanship and QC...

    Any new news?

    The Raptor R has been nothing but talk for a really long time. As much as we all want it to happen, we probably won’t see it until gen4 at the earliest if it even gets made at all. The original was scrapped 12 years ago. Granted it didn’t have a vin and wasn’t street legal. But we have different...

    FIVE GEN 1s for sale

    I’ve seen them in Colorado gas stations as well. Though I’ve never seen the cop Raptor model. About 10 bucks

    Bronco Raptor

    Yes FordTech this is meant to be funny. I did say that they are more nimble. I’ve been in the dirt with them. My wife did make the comment on the exhaust. I just happen to agree with her. Sounds more superjet(Yamaha) than cobra jet. I do however wish they wouldn’t Raptor the bronco, ranger...

    Bronco Raptor

    That’s no secret the gen2 are a little more nimble in stock form. Ill stick to my opinion overall.

    Bronco Raptor

    The Raptor name shouldn’t be thrown around at every vehicle Ford makes. Personally and I know I’m biased, the Raptor name should have been reserved for 10-14 model years only. We all know that sequels aren’t as good as the originals. Hell my wife made a comment a few weeks ago how her Volvo...

    Hellion Turbo kit

    Got to wonder if they’d make them up if you called them. Money does talk

    Hellion Turbo kit

    I seen they pulled it too. Really disappointing. I wonder where they got the manifolds from. That would be the only really hang up i think. Once you have those it’s just plumbing,snails,ic’s as any other custom build. I mean sure some of the angles on the fittings will be a bear. But that’s...
