    6.2L gen1; Name this noise please?

    The first week I owned the truck it coded for the purge valve and I replaced it with an autozone $25 one. I will see if its thumping later today. That sounds like a possibility for sure. Thanks

    6.2L gen1; Name this noise please?

    Thanks for looking. Sorry the video isn't the best but I was just focused on picking up the sound. It sounds like it's coming from the rear drivers side of the motor more than the passenger side. I looked in the belt area and hear a high pitched squeal that may be a pully but not related to this...

    6.2L gen1; Name this noise please?

    Hello, please help me identify this fast thumping/knocking sound. The truck is warmed up and in park. The sound is not always there and does not go away if you rev the motor. It sounds like plastic thumping or vacuum related to me but it is concerning since I am just learning about my 2014 94k...

    Something ain't right...

    You bought a 93k mile 2014, huh? Sounds very familiar. I hope you like working on trucks. Mine did the same thing with something like 180 miles showing and then it dropped to like 80 but it was probably influenced by my driveway and heavy foot. Bad sending unit or wire but as long as the fuel...

    Any decal shadows left behind in the clear coat? I considered this on my ruby but I am concerned with the older paint.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Last night I painted the front bumper cutouts on each end. The prior owner left the fog light cutout inserts installed loosely and the shaking took the paint off the bumper to the bare metal which started to rust. I am not ready to pay $40 or more shipped for one can of sterling gray custom made...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Thursday I installed rocky mountain graphics ruby red reflective FORD lettering to the grill. At first I wanted the American flag seen on a gen 2 blue raptor. The reflective option sold me after looking at the pictures online. However, being that it's a reflective vinyl the ruby looks like race...

    Finally checking in...Vegas style aka LATE!

    Hello, purchased a 94k mileage ruby red 2014 screw around New Years 2024. I blame FRF members for convincing me to keep it :). I have been working on it for months now as time permits to make it my own along with the maintenance it needs etc. There are some cool folks here and I am glad to be...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Reinstalled all the skid plates last night and took it for a spin. The newly painted black front skid plate is less noticeable which is what I was going for. Painting something designed to be scratched and dented is totally a waste of time but I like it! Harbor freight's chassis paint held up...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Added Camber/Caster nuts last Thursday night and took it in for an alignment Friday. Painted the front skid plate with black chassis paint just for shets and giggles. Drove it out by my house to knock the alignment out. :)

    Finished installing a kill switch last night. Man I really want to show you the pics and how I did it but... The internet is a safe space, right? Figured after all this refurbishing etc. I have done on this truck it would get stolen here in Vegas aka LA 2.0. One more thing to deter until I drop...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I think you might be up for an academy award for music. It's amazing how much better something is with some good sound behind it. Just need some jump out the truck in full commando gear and empty a few mags to top off the video.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    If you haven't already, coat them with a ceramic type coating or maybe even rainX. I used Griot's Garage Ceramic 3-In-1 Wax since it buffs out clear like it does on paint.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Well the moon roof was the worst and came out crystal clear. I used the white correcting pad too. However, I noticed some very fine scratches in my driver window in the sun after polishing it. The rears look fine so I am thinking it was me that scratched it with the pressure etc. So you might...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Thanks,lol, not quite it's still red with raptor stickers. FRF comments and running into an older fart in a roush ruby red convinced me to keep it. Here's a few "before" pics. The power steering fluid looked like maple syrup. After the flush the steering wheel turned like the family highlander.
