    Gen 3 to Gen 1 consideration

    Exactly. Each individual case has it’s own attraction. That creates a market situation where they become more desirable, based on nothing more than a unique situation, which can create a nostalgic market for it. I would love to own an 07 Duramax, or a 5.9 24v Cummins. I love the way they...

    Gen 3 to Gen 1 consideration

    Nostalgia, for whatever reason, can absolutely inflate the market price of a vehicle. Have you shopped for an older diesel platform lately? An H2 hummer? A GMT400 truck? 2 door k1500? Heck, even a low mileage gen1 is pulling crazy money at the moment. I never said anything about cylinder...

    Gen 3 to Gen 1 consideration

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, right or wrong. You could have certainly responded and debated without sinking to call someone “stupid” and insult and ridicule them. I think that’s what all the backlash is about. I prefer older platforms to their newer counterparts. If given the...

    Do we wave?

    If someone is so snobby that they can't wave to someone else because of the gen they drive, they need to be euthanized. :cool: At that point, you aren't a truck guy or gal, you are a poser (is that even a term used these days? lol) Not saying anyone has to wave, but if your reasoning is because...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I was suprised by how inexpensive the parts were! The same trim panel on my wife’s expo cost me damn near 200

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    From day one, my plastic grill sounded creaky as hell whenever I opened it. My hood struts made noise, but some lube silenced that. However, I found that the grill support, on both sides, was contacting the plastic grill. There’s a 10mm adjustable bolt (pictured) that you can loosen, and push...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Ordered the drivers seat side trim, all three pieces (main, seat belt cover and switch panel). I guess the PO mangled and broke all the clips/connectors and I finally noticed it, it was all loose as hell. I also changed my wife’s rear brakes on her expedition last night, used the rotors and...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Used that egg crate foam I stole from my pistol case, and jammed it up in both window switches, and took down the overhead console and foamed that mfer up Too… and put in f150leds in there I am not playing with these plastic interior rattles anymore, it’s all getting foamed!

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    noticed that with the ignition off, I have a "clunk" noise when I shake my steering wheel side to side (anyone else have this?!)... buddy crawled under the truck and said it sounds like it's coming from inside the rack, so there might be some play in it. Also, informed me that I had a leak on...

    Steering wheel makes a rubbing/squeak noise when turning

    I have a noise in my steering column. It sounds like it is right behind the steering wheel. I lubed up the firewall pass-through area and no dice. It’s not suspension or anything outside of the cab, it’s right behind the steering wheel. Anyone ever had a bad clock spring make a squeak noise?

    Was There a Time When…

    I see all the crazy builds, and I get jealous, but then realize that I will NEVER utilize my truck in a way that would make those mods worth the money to invest. I guess my goal is OEM+, make things better, improve existing things... I have noticed that MOOG appears to have dropped a few...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    That one is 300ish, the white stitching is 200, and according to tasca… the textured one that came on the raptor is 625 I think I’m good LOL

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    This one was 9L3Z-1506024-CC I wasn't aware there was one with black stitching? I probably would have went that route. However, it looks good in there to me, my "eye" doesn't catch details like that. It doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like red, or green or orange... still looks factory IMO.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Installed OEM leather arm rest. Swapped over my latch assembly to easily keep my keyed lock assembly.

    Was There a Time When…

    It's funny that this was bumped, as I was literally just thinking about how "slow" the gen1 forum sections seems. I was active on forums back in their "prime" when PerformanceTrucks.net was popping... that had to be mid 2000's. I was excited when I got my first gen 1, and wanted to join and...

    Ford performance filter and oil

    I changed my oil last night, went with M1 filter and 5w-30 Penzoil Platinum. I haven't had any cold start tapping, but I WAS having an issue with hot start tapping for 5-8 seconds after startup. I was running Motorcraft 5w-20 and a motorcraft filter, but since my truck is high mileage and new...

    Driver door switch rattle FIX

    Mine looks exactly how you would expect a truck that has 143k would look. It wasn’t mudded or abused, the story I got is one of the previous owners traveled for work, so it’s a lot of highway miles. Honestly, she looks better than I would have expected. It’s not the cleanest and pristine, but...

    Driver door switch rattle FIX

    The driver door switch rattle was driving me crazy. You can literally shake the switch inside the housing trim. So, I grabbed some expanding foam from an old pistol case, cut it into slivers of varying sizes for testing, and used a small flat blade to jam it down into these gaps (both sides)...

    Those look awesome. I need something, feel like occasionally I drive around looking like I’m winking.
