    Rotating Tires

    First time in new town I had my FJ's winter set swapped (simple bolt on) by a Tire Factory. They had so much torque on their impact...they stretched and snapped two of the lug bolts!! They made up some story about hearing there was some defective batch from Toyota. Of course I made them fix...

    A Ford tech's take on "THE CLUNK" (THE ONE and ONLY CLUNK THREAD)

    Thanks SoCo. So my truck is brand new, <500 miles, I've experienced a few weird clunks. Usually seems like right after I've come to a stop...then just sitting there and it happens. Seems like you feel the whole truck move. Should I ask the Ford dealer to perform the lube at my first checkup?

    Front running lights gone out!

    I don't know what the EL tape inverter is...but I think the guy said something about that and that he wired it direct to AUX1 switch ??

    Rear Camera - poor resolution

    So here are my results. (pics) My conclusion is that TP has it right...the camera totally sucks! Funny how quickly I was trying to ignore it or explain it away, but it totally is crap. Not sure if the correct term is resolution to explain the problem, but the clarity and contrast is very...

    Rear Camera - poor resolution

    Hmmm...let me see how I feel about this one. I'm gonna go polish up my camera lens nice and clean and then see what I think of the image on the NAV screen. It has been my initial impression that the image totally sucks. But I've just ignored it...thinking the problem was dirt and I needed to...

    New Guy

    Welcome to the forums. Not sure if this is still the case but I would guess that it is. On all older model Ford keyless entry systems, the 5 digit code was stamped or on a sticker on the locking computer module. I do not know for sure if this is still the case on the Raptor but here is some...

    Need a better snatch strap

    Lots of great options out there...stay safe. Some of those videos reminded me why I'm going with synthetic winch line too...not nearly the slingshot effect.

    Front running lights gone out!

    In trying to learn what the "SVT back light mod" was I found this... This guy had the same problem I think. Sounds like he got the dealership to fix his screw up and then rewired it to an AUX switch.

    Easy "mod" to prolong the life of your SYNC's USB Port

    Really? I've been using USB Type A plugs on some of my laptops and computers since they came out...like 10 years ago. Do you really have issues with them "wearing out"? Only ones I've ever seen damaged were damaged because a cable was left plugged in and someone kicked it or bumped it. I'd...

    Anybody know how or want to upload 2011 Ford Trailer Tow Guide

    Randy, This looks like the guide you're talking about. Doesn't seem to address the Raptor model...but I guess the F150 6.2 stuff might apply?? Anyone can grab it direct from here: http://www.commtruck.ford.com/pdf/brochures/RV_and_Towing_Guide.pdf

    Feasibility of MyFord Touch and Sync upgrades

    So pretty much every time I'd get in the truck, my iPhone 4 would kick into iPod mode and start playing whatever it felt like. Even though I had hard closed the iPod app and had never ever been listening to it. Pretty much all radio here sucks. I'm OK with Sirius but it leaves a lot to be...

    The Raptor got a taste of snow today...

    Lookin' good iceman! Snow traction has been great here. Only on a rare occasion do I hit some ice that grabs my attention...otherwise all is good. I think I saw your post about going to the middle perch. Did you say you had a dealer do it? or someone else? Cost? thxs
