    Dodge is trying to compete with the Raptor!

    I have a real good idea what you have been going thru & yours is worse than mine. Hang in there Bro. You deserve your Raptor! I am half way thru chemo, 3 more sessions to go!

    I was wondering when the sprinter was going to end, apparently it's now.

    My Raptor Sent Back to Factory....Secret Recall????

    As mentioned before, what I have heard elsewhere is the current fix is to lube the slip yoke where it goes into the transfer case. Apparently Ford has some grease that gets along with the lube in the T case. This fix provides mixed results, some owners report it works, other report it only lasts...

    Lets Talk Fuses: You're going to want to know this before you need to know it.

    Thanks for all the research guys. Looks like I gotta look thru & update my fuse inventory.

    5.4L engine, trans, and controls TSB

    No No No No I am never that lucky, so now I am worried about what is going to go wrong that doesnt have a TSB. Also- thanks for the info.

    My Raptor Sent Back to Factory....Secret Recall????

    Well, at least it's Friday.. You have my sympathy- that really sucks. But at least when you get it back it will be right. Whatever the problem, Ford seems to be taking it seriously; it's got to cost a ton to pay for the return shipping on all the F-150's. Good to hear the dealer is being...

    White Lettered Tires

    Come out west, run around in some of red dirt we have in the sierras & you will have red letters like it or not. I prefer the black wall look, plus you will play hell trying to keep those letters white if you actually take the truck off road. White letters are OK for mall crawlers.

    Paint Codes, Bumper & Fender Flares

    Thanks for the info NoCaDiver, but to further cloud the issue here is what I have found... Supposedly, the official “Ford” color & code for the bumper is Sterling Grey, Code UJ. I think the Ford part # for touch up paint is PMP-19500-7205A (cant read my lousy writing). In a professional...

    One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

    I was going to include a snapshot of my excell fuel spreadsheet but the formatting got all wack. What I have found is that the computer tends to give a little better result in the mileage, but that could also be a result of inconsistant fueling. The overall difference since I got my Raptor is...

    Consumer Reports Names Chevrolet Avalanche as a Top Pick for 2011

    Yeah, but it was engineered & designed here.

    Recovery Gear

    Thanks for the detailed list. Thats one of the many great things the Raptor has over the Jeep- you can actually bring stuff. I really had to scale back my packing with the Wrangler, now I can bulk up again.

    Consumer Reports Names Chevrolet Avalanche as a Top Pick for 2011

    Boy-that's a surprise- they picked an American built vehicle, usually they are wild about the Japanese vehicles & seem to hate everything that comes from Detroit.

    Did I make a $42.5k mistake??

    Hmm, interesting I dont have the nav and I can feed 6 of 'em into mine...

    Did I make a $42.5k mistake??

    A lot of it is are you happy with the Raptor? From where I sit, you did OK on the trade. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have the Sony system & I thought that they (Sony) all came with the 6 disc changer.

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

    I have a '10 and it has the clunk-intermittently. I will mention it when I go in for my next service but I don’t hold a lot of hope in getting it actually fixed,(based on the results reported here). I had a '99 Ranger that had everything replaced with "updated" parts in attempt to fix its...

    The differential explained

    I have seen vids done with CAD /CGI and I think this actually gets the point across better. But then, I am old.

    Death Valley Presidents Weekend 2011 (Saline & Eureka Valleys)

    Yeah-what a story. Thanks for the write up and the pics. Even if I can't go, it's nice to hear about those who can.

    2006 Jeep Wrangler, heavily modified, will consider Ford trades

    Nicely done Jeep. You didnt cut one corner, but I think your going to have a hard time getting someone out of a Raptor for it. Wish I had the resources to buy it- it would look great on a trailer behind my Raptor- Ready for anything- the best of both worlds!!

    Another new guy

    After lurking here for a while, I figured I ought to chime in. Some may have seen me on the other sites (or not), as I tend to not say much unless it's worthwhile.. Got a '10 in June & have no real complaints or mods, liking it as it is.

    I want a new Traction Control off indicator

    Great idea. I really like your icon idea after the 10 sec push. Actually that would probably help Ford with any lawsuits- All they would have to do is show that icon to the jury and tell 'em "Hey could we make it any more clear?"

    What is Ram Planning for the 2011 Chicago Auto Show?

    The best thing they could do is display a rebadged F-150.
