    Raptor weird noise

    I would start with an extensive washing after it drys spray it down with a big can of WD (not the paint) . If it’s still there check wheels ,drive line anything that moves when the noise is happening or my personal favorite blast over some heavy bumps on road at high speed to break it loose .

    Found this site searching for torque specs Gen 1

    One of the big discrepancies I found was the spark plug torque from YouTube to the R Forms discussion range from 150 to the 106 on the chart .

    Welcome and sweet truck. I lived in Pa for a bit and definitely don’t miss the snow or taxes. Keep the truck clean the salt , calcium and magnesium they use on the road destroys everything. I usually did a WD spray down once a month kept mine almost perfect. I’ve owned a lot of trucks & 4wheel...

    2011 Misfire

    Welcome !!! Don’t take your gen 1 to dealer they suck . Very bad dealer experiences at three different ones for simple jobs. It seems they do warranty work only anything else is a waste of time and money mine came out twice worse than it went in . We should have a bad service department story...

    Are the Rough Country fog lights good?

    I would put the rough country at middle of the road . Lighting upgrades can be expensive and just because the price is high doesn’t necessarily make them better. How they will be used is more important . If your throwing salt spray at them or live in the rust belt choose accordingly. Personally...

    High mileage owners please check in

    Two bolts through a plastic-rubber bushing. Some cut it out some loosen the bed bolts & raise the bed to get the bolts out . Fords part schematic has it listed as a Transitional Underbody Resonator Dissipater or T.U.R.D. For short .

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    As far as the pan not fitting ? I had no problem except one or two bolts needed a different tool to install and weren’t able to torque to spec just a guess. The 7 qt is more like 3 or 4

    Transmission updates - aftermarket pan and dipstick?

    I got the same pan fluid change is simple it’s definitely a HD build I know they had some quality issues so check it first before you install mine was fine . The climbing under to check the level is a pain just get some gloves and a wrench don’t burn yourself like I did trying without it. I...

    Can’t figure it out

    I had a similar issue with a jeep never do auto zone again . Did you properly use dielectric grease ? And the way it was intended? The error codes can be misleading sometimes and send you down a wrong road . I would start the basic trouble shooting from the beginning of our known gremlins...

    Natural gas smell in cab

    Well if you can rule out pissed ex girlfriend, jealous neighbor or friend that likes to play jokes and works for the gas company with access to mercaptan or rotten eggs then it might be a bad or dirty cat . Don’t get me started about ford dealer service departments most the techs road the short...
