    trading in gen 1 for z06? Thoughts

    I have a 2012 Camaro 6.2L built to 600hp at the crank that I’m debating to sell because I can’t find time for it. The raptor is great because it’s not only a head turner, but has power, utility, and can be a true daily driver. The overall package. So I spent years building the sports...

    aFE Trans Pan

    A sending unit? And thats a good idea, I could probably just have them do it for me. Just a matter of trusting that they've done it right. My dealer is currently paying 2 grand to repair my truck after their tech badly scratched it during an oil change.

    aFE Trans Pan

    If thats the case, it sounds like they sold you the wrong filter if the replacement for your original was fine. Did you have flush done? How much did that run you? I'm considering one myself at 36k miles.

    aFE Trans Pan

    So what did you have to do with the filter? I saw in previous posts that as long as you used the motorcraft filter, you were fine?

    Just bought a Corsa Xtreme and want to protect it.

    Did you coat the tips? I'm concerned about discolorations. I spent extra for the black tips, would be a waste to put something on them that ruins them.

    aFE Trans Pan

    I was looking for a bit of an update. I was interested in the aFE trans pan, but in looking at old 2014-2015 posts on this forum, it appears there were several fitment issues. In the last 3-4 years, has this been fixed? Has aFE fixed their cast due to the misalignment issues?

    Just bought a Corsa Xtreme and want to protect it.

    I just installed this exhaust this past weekend, but has anyone noticed odd fitment with the resonator delete up to the factory manifold? Its like, as I tighten it, the supplied flange will begin to "bend" as I torque down on it, and yet, I still get water leaking out as if they aren't...

    Rusting Raptor Rocker panels

    I went to pep boys and bought clear bra material. Cut them, cleaned the surface and applied. They held up all PA winter. A couple look worse for wear but it’s a 5 minutes replacement.

    MPG drop with new cat-back exhaust install

    In most cases, its entirely your foot and how you drive because you have an "expectation" of the sound you want to hear while you're driving, which is more aggressive than you've driven pre-exhaust. Be more conscious of your driving and you'll see it go back up.

    Internal Frame Coating

    I used Amsoil MPHD on the truck last fall. Looking at the frame, after driving all winter, and being parked outside, I do not see any notable rust additions. Also, the frame cleans right off with water. Now, of course I'll have to recoat each fall, but a small price to pay to not have to...

    Lighter Weight Towing Question

    Looking at a Little Guy Max trailer, so 3,800lb GVWR, and ~350lb tongue weight. I’ve seen much discussion on here about weight distribution hitches, but this is guys towing double this weight or more. Is a weight distribution hitch necessary at this weight? If so, where would people...

    Roush Intake Fitment

    Thank you for your feedback. If thats the case, then that means the groan is coming from somewhere else. When I nudge down on the tube, I notice that the filter will move UP and actually lift the box and I hear "play" in the lid. I loosened all of the clamps, tweaked the tube (which didn't...

    Roush Intake Fitment

    Sadly no, it doesn't help with the issue. I spoke to Roush on the phone and apparently they pulled a shrewd one on everyone. If you look at the installation instructions, you'll see a "mix" of pictures. Some pictures show the conical filter, while others show a filter that has a bend put...

    There is an idiot where I work with the same grille. Imitation is not flattery...its tacky and stupid.

    Roush Intake Fitment

    Question for you all who have the Roush intake installed. Does your filter (the rubber end piece) essentially rub against the inside of the Roush lid? I wasn't able to get any better clearance, but have heard a groaning noise a couples times under throttle since I installed it and I'm...

    FS Gen1 Front Bumper.

    Any idea on a shipping cost to PA? How much rock chip damage?

    Low Oil Pressure and Wrench Light Problems!

    I’m more shocked that you would attempt to drive the truck again after getting a low oil pressure light. That’s a motor death sentence. I would have had it towed immediately. I would personally consider dropping the oil pan and checking on the oil pump.

    A bang then grind?

    So here is what we got: 1. Toe End Pins replaced. (Did NOT solve front end problem...there is still something loose or has play in the front) 2. Thermostat Replaced. (Problem Solved) 3. E Brake Pivots replaced. Apparently were binding? This is what tech says was making my crunching sound when...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    50w ballasts create a ton more heat than a 35w. So while its brighter, you run the risk of damaging the light housing. So it comes down to, what is more light worth to you?

    A bang then grind?

    An update. A new thermostat has been ordered as the truck is overcooling. The computer output during the drive showed that my temp was moving ALL over the place. During the drive with the tech, who was a great guy by the way who I will schedule to work on the truck for all things moving...

    A bang then grind?

    Wanted to update this. Driving home today I noticed my temp gauge changing about 1/5 of the gauge toward COLD while coasting down hills. Then it would go to ABOUT normal when pushing the gas. So upon getting home I popped the hood. To my immediate surprise I find the cap for the power steering...

    I was thinking this.

    A bang then grind?

    Of note. No grind this morning but more sounds like there is play on the front end and more like a crunchy sound. Happened only on my first left turn leaving the house. Afterwards it sounds like something with play in it. I can hear most contours of the road now as I drive. Then as the truck...
