    Startup Procedure - truth or myth

    Yeah, even within the KC area there is so much BBQ debate. I like them all! Everyone’s big on Q39 or KC Joe’s these days, but LC, Bryant’s and Gates hang in there. My last trip to Gates on 40 by Arrowhead was a complete sh##show, horrible service. Shame, Gates BBQ is still spicy good!

    Startup Procedure - truth or myth

    Yep, this is correct - I was asking if it was possible to force oil to the top of the engine components without cranking - in other words a pre-start type pump. Other threads or forums alluded to this as well as some of the post on this thread (maybe). Smarter, wiser posters have convinced me...

    Startup Procedure - truth or myth

    For once a KC guy and a STL guy agree on something.

    Startup Procedure - truth or myth

    @Sozzy12 I remember seeing it on one or two of the hundreds of post on cam phasers - as I recall some folks did it religiously and their were a few complaints that it couldn't be done remote starting. I did a quick search but didn't find them, but I know they are out there. To be honest I was...

    Startup Procedure - truth or myth

    Searched the forum but didn't find anything but references about this. I have read in a couple threads that when starting a Gen2: pushing the gas pedal to the floor & holding it pressing the start button for 5-10 seconds steps above force oil to the top of the engine First, I am curious if...

    Prospective owners looking for custom Raptors

    Very dramatic music, I thought maybe the truck was going to storm the beaches of Normandy or something. Probably not cool to dog on anyone’s truck... it’s very well done, looks high quality and I suppose I would call it beautiful. But that’s the problem for me - it’s a “beautiful” truck.

    How you know your wife likes your truck...

    A woman driving a Raptor can be highly attractive. Anyone getting preachy about my vices is never attractive. BTW - I am in favor of this forum being open to anyone and everyone and all opinions related to the trucks should be welcome.

    Opinions on Treadlife & Noise Experienced on Toyo Open Country MT ONLY - on a Raptor

    I am very happy with my Ridge Grapplers. I have seen many comments about lack of grip in wet conditions, but personally have not had any issues. So far been through a couple of Midwest winters, rain, snow and ice. They have been quiet and reliable. Plus they look badass. I did lose about .5...

    How you know your wife likes your truck...

    My wife thinks it’s too big and hard to fit in tight places. I told her maybe try backing it in, but she’s hesitant she could damage something.

    Plastic Antenna Base Cap...

    That’s really bizarre. Of all the parts on my truck I fear getting stolen, not sure that one makes the top 500. So what happens to someone’s antenna base that they need to replace the original anyway???

    Which Tonneau Cover?

    BAK MX4 for me, too. I love em, and sealing the tailgate I have really eliminated dust and leaks (the driver's side back IS a challenge). I am on my second, first was on my 2013 F150 and I used it for 4 or 5 years. I think it was actually not an MX4, but some earlier version. I upgraded to...

    Bought the wrong truck

    Yeah, say what you want about Ford corporate but they didn’t take the bailout and that means something to many of us. Ford stock has been great lately.

    Bought the wrong truck

    So watching the Chiefs game and see a commercial for the Chevy Trail Boss. In fact a couple of them. Curious how it compared to a Raptor. Found this link below. See, when I bought the Raptor I didn’t know the Chevy was a MAN’S TRUCK. That’s their best shot...

    Chirp sound, shortly after startup

    Well, dropping the truck off tomorrow so the tech can have a listen. Showed the video and the SA first reaction was “it’s just the injectors making a noise”. But then the advisor said I had a ticking that could be the phasers or a tensioning belt. I told him we just did the phasers, plus the...

    Gen 2 Raptors values starting to climb.

    You nailed this one. Even if I could make $5k selling mine, then what? Mine is my DD, plus I know what I’ve got. I could wait for a Gen3, but what’s the price gonna be on those, $85k?

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Installed a LVJ Motorsports harness (purchased from Nick at Apollo Optics) to my Baja Designs reverse lights. Now I have upfitter switch control as well as reverse light triggering. The harness is very well made, it survived me pulling the Weathertech connectors through the frame rail and the...
