    Raptor broke down again!

    This is what I like about turbo cars - no need to downshift, just let the boost kick in. But no, no good reason. Just preference. But that doesn’t really hold up. Warning lights are fine but allowing cascading failures from one faulty sensor is BS. For example, when I unplug a wheel speed...

    Raptor broke down again!

    Ford just called. They reset and updated the PCM and said to “keep an eye on it”. Can anyone confirm there was an update available for our PCM’s? They also said that these vehicles with all their computers just can’t be reliable :( Well, it’s certainly appearing that way. It’s fine to make...

    Raptor broke down again!

    Dealer is currently trying to diagnose it. I will update when I hear more. And that’s what’s so annoying - any error triggers an entire list of unrelated errors! You can’t diagnose it! Every time any little thing happens, I get 15 error messages. Come on Ford, this is not how you design a car.

    Raptor broke down again!

    Was driving out of town tonight and when I got on the freeway, my dash lit up with all the usual BS lights (adaptive cruise not available, collision assist fault, etc) and now power train fault! I was able to idle to a local ford dealer at 10MPH when flooring it. At stoplights, the engine...

    Deaver +3 or +4 (Live Shock Reset on page 3)

    How much did the drop shackles decrease the rear height? Do you notice the ride being rougher with the HD rear springs?

    GEN 2 Winter wonderland in Maine

    interesting. I was gonna go with HD but I guess that’s probably not necessary. I rarely put more than a few hundred pounds in the bed. Nice looking sled!

    How to spend $5k on new Raptor

    While the PPF is expensive, it cost a lot more if you have to first fix all the paint down the road. I would vote for the PPF. I drove my Evo straight from the dealer to the clear bra installer. Paint looks brand new to this day. I figured my truck didn’t need it because it’s a truck and...

    Brand new 2019 SCrew stolen within 24 hours of picking it up

    I was about to reply saying, get the center console lock box. This is a little disconcerting. Wonder if I should anchor mine in better.. Any idea how they pulled it out?

    GEN 2 Gen 3 mule spied

    This is likely just a test vehicle. The Gen 3 likely has a similar/identical frame so they probably just through a gen 2 cab on so they could road test the new rear suspension. I would also almost guarantee more HP. With the Ram TRX coming out and the goal to lure Raptor owners into upgrading...

    2019+ Fox 3.0 Live Valve Shocks!

    So what does the sensor output? I would guess it’s an angle or angular velocity of the LCA? How does it know where it should be without knowing it’s position? Love your build thread, btw!

    Will a 37" KO2 fit in the OEM spare tire location?

    Sweet! I’ll stick a 37” spare on and skip the bump stop upgrade :D But in all seriousness, the factory tire carrier can’t hold the weight of a 37? I hadn't heard this. Maybe there is a way to reinforce it.. I’m also interested in running a 37 on the smaller side of the spectrum once my OE 35’s...

    Cobb OTS tune and TCM....

    Novel idea but with how things work now, one could just unplug the Cobb and run it forever since it’s already in the ECU. Maybe they could do a mileage limit on the tune since the AP doesn’t know the current date. You’d also have to be careful about leaving people stranded because they forgot to...

    Cobb OTS tune and TCM....

    I only have experience with Cobb tuners and OTS tunes. I don’t believe the TCM tune will fix anything unless your transmission isn’t downshifting and keeping the revs high enough. Changing how/when the transmission shifts is about all the TCM tuning can do that makes a big difference. Mine...

    GEN 2 Post Deaver Clunk

    Stick a GoPro back there and film from different angles. Sounds like something binding due to the torque but I am by no means a leaf spring expert. You could hit the gas while holding down the brakes and not moving to see if this makes the issue present itself.

    Totaled or Not

    Were you wearing a seatbelt? I think the airbags might not go off if in low speed collision if you’re not strapped in. I would guess not totaled but depends on lots of things. Time for an ADD bumper and Cobb IC! I’d also recommend a dash cam.

    Cobb Stage 1 Engine Knock Issues

    I picked up some octane booster on the way home to see if it was in fact real knock. Driving about 15 miles since then, the knock is *completely* gone. Most cylinders have a knock count of zero, some have a minor knock count of 1. This means it was not “phantom knock” and was the real...

    Cobb Stage 1 Engine Knock Issues

    Thanks for all the information. I’ve spent a decent amount of time tuning Evo’s back in the day so I definitely appreciate all the detail you posted Audibly, it sounds like unmistakable engine knock which is what has me so concerned. I can’t hear engine knock under any conditions other than...

    Cobb Stage 1 Engine Knock Issues

    What parameters should I log? It appears that I am getting knock across all cylinders from my drive across town just now even though I was avoiding hard acceleration. Should I switch to the 87 octane map until I can get a fresh batch of fuel in there? Also, is there any way to verify that the...

    Cobb Stage 1 Engine Knock Issues

    I’ve gotten the same results with two different tanks of gas from king supers and She’ll. the truck just hit 10k so I’ve never checked the plugs.

    Cobb Stage 1 Engine Knock Issues

    I installed a Cobb stage 1 91 octane map and now there is engine knock. I can hear it when accelerating at wide open throttle and I log over 7 counts of engine knock on cylinder 3. Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone else monitor knock after installing the Cobb? it’s a 2019.

    Cobb Stage 2 / 2+ Feedback

    For those who did the stage 2 with a custom tune, have you noticed any drawbacks? Does the truck have any drivability concerns across the range of driving conditions that these trucks encounter? My experience with customs tunes (though on less sophisticated ECU’s) has been they are optimized...
