Enjoy the Ram, would have been nice to meet another Ontario Raptor guy, hope the truck gives you tons of luck, those v8's are super tough. Get her crowned and you shouldn't have rust issues. I have seen way older ram's hold up better than my Raptor up here. But, the main drawback I see is...
a majority of the valve train tick on the 6.2 is injector noise. However, if you beat on your truck even modestly, you can collapse a hydraulic rocker arm. Did that earlier this year, word of advise, let your oil warm up before you give her the nuts!
x2 on waiting for the 6.2, you will have a ton more fun with it. Some small issues that the older raptors had were the driveshaft clunk, a transmission electronic input seal leak, and depending on where you are looking to purchase, LOOK AT THE ROCKER PANELS!!! They rot out pretty badly and the...
As Verrukt said, get a tuner. For the Gen 1's, the main problem is the horrific shift strategy that Ford gave the Raptor. The Commander helps with initial response, but the shift points are still trash. I went 5 star and I have a pedal commander that I have not used it since I uploaded 91...
Just an FYI this doesn't work on supercabs. There is a blob of silicone in the seal up by the upper latch for the rear doors, and you have to remove it. Problem is, you cant remove it without destroying the weather seal. Best to buy new stuff. TASCA has a super cheap deal on...
Honestly, a tuner would be my top priority. The shit points on the truck are abysmal, literally infuriating. Get a 5 star tuner/tunes. The truck will hold its gears longer, be far more alive, and way more fun to drive. Partner that up with an intake and youll be smiles for miles!
All lubricants should be replaced at that time. I found water in my front diff when I did mine. Transmission is not necessary (dealership sid tis to me) but my opinions is i would rather put new oil into oil that isnt completely dead. Do your spark plugs as well, They suck but you will be...
Been checking out this site for years regarding all issues related Raptor. I have a 2010 6.2 Supercab and she has been a blast! Not many huge upgrades as the offroading out here isnt very high speed oriented. Methods, Geiser front springs, Borla muffler, pedal commander and just recently a 5...
