Next year???? Is this a Gen II?...... Regardless-- stop in Reno, we can give it a shakedown.

Yes, but you have to change the rear springs, add a floater rear axle and upgrade the ft axle and brakes--Oh, wait, you just built an F 250..

Better late than never- good thing is you have time for mods before next season's runs start.

Yeah, Noah is right you can run pretty fast on Hwy 80. I usually run 85 with little to worry about- just slow down a bit around towns. I have done 50 fairly recently, and it's not as fast- lots of little towns to slow you down. Plus on 50 you will be tempted to take some alternative routes, not...

If you want no fuss no muss take 80. 50 is speed trap-land. 80 has a speed trap, it's Elko, the speed limit changes to 65 and they mean it. Beyond that, Battle Mtn, and such aren't to bad. Rooms in Elko can get scarce, so if you plan on stopping there, make a reservation or plan on a flea bag.

OK, now we are getting somewhere....Good that they found something.

Long shot, but have you tried Hoblit Motors in Colusa? They are off the beaten path, but understand the need to sell vehicles.

Wow, lots of things going on here... Since the engine doesn't seem to get worse when revved up, i am going to discount an out of balance cause there (torque converter / harmonic balancer). First, verify tires / wheels are properly balanced & true. And that they are not installed by some over...

Is the vibration speed sensitive? If you rev the engine while in neutral/ park can you make that vibration increase? These trucks have lots of harmonic dampeners- these are the chunks of iron that you can see under the cab, there is also one right above the spare. Anyway, if you lost one or...

My memory is fuzzy, but I am thinking If you have a trailer plug, it might have a brake wire taped to the harness just behind the plug. Might be worth a poke around.

Zero interest. I either drive or someone else drives. People are not good at "monitoring" things like self driving cars, they get bored and watch movies. We know the eventual outcome.

My guess is the relay contacts are bad (excessive resistance), which explains the low voltage.

As I said, it might have very well changed. Years ago a friend bought a new truck from out of CA and they made him weigh it, but...he had douche tendencies, so that might have been it.

Unless things have changed, you might have to get it weighed as well (because truck), if the DMV accepts the weight on the MSO, then take it. My experience has been the weight on the MSO tends to be light.

One of the factors of an axle load rating is the suspension- and if you haven't noticed, Raptors have a unique suspension, so yes - "Because it's a Raptor" does make a difference. Axle ratings are not calculated in a vacuum, the entire package is considered. Several guys here have broken...

It's not just the axle assembly, you need to factor in tire capacity & springs as well. it's rated lower than a max payload because it's a Raptor, not a max payload truck. This is the same as saying a Clydesdale and a quarter horse both have hooves, so both should run just as fast. And the...

Come out here to Nor NV, our trails will chunk the hell out of your BFGs.

This prankster is walking a fine line. How he hasn't ended up as a greasy spot on the road is beyond me. Try that with just about anyone I know and it wont end well for the "prankster"....at best a trip to the ER, worst would be a chalk outline.

First off, thanks for manning up and taking responsibility- we all screw up from time to time. Glad that no one was hurt. Anyway, i would have it fixed- assuming you can pick the shop and as mentioned previously- supervise the repair as it progresses.

I fault Ford for spending my money (shareholder) developing a product then leaving money on the table for the blood sucking parasite dealers to make the money. If a vehicle is worth 20K over MSRP, then Ford should price it as such and let the dealer make their usual profit, not some huge...

Welcome. Glad to see another NV guy, getting tired of having the only NV plates out on the trail.

From NPS Site: Scotty's Castle Scotty's Castle is CLOSED until further notice due to flood damage. Please contact 760-786-3280 for more information. Scotty's Castle - Death Valley National Park (U.S. National Park Service) Also, expect more than usual amounts of people, as there is a...

If you have a vibration when coasting, I doubt its the tires, as how would a tire change between load / coast? Although balance issues do tend to be speed specific... My guess is you have a U joint going. When you are coasting there is little load on the driveline- hence the slack in the joint...

if you own Ford stock you can get X plan as well. IIRR it only requires 100 shares, which isn't all that much. I see the first Raptors going for at least $10K over MSRP, as that's what I found way back in '10.

Better than sleeps with the fishes.
