I would 'Like' to use Shell Rotella T6 15w-40 in, well everything! I want it in my Raptor and in my Explorer ST. I feel the higher zinc content and higher viscosity will improve engine life. Ford has lowered the viscosity specification in order to improve milage ....a tad! At the cost of...

I did a search and most E85 threads here deal with gen2 and goosetune. I tried chatting with Ford Performance and "Tom" had no idea, saying they only deal in parts....great. The manual doesn't say chit, so the question is, can you use E85 and why would you want to? I have seen rumors that say...

My dealer just took a 2019 in on trade with 20k miles on it. Ingot Silver. This dealership has been awesome with me and I have purchased several vehicles from them. here is the link if anyone is interested https://www.legacyford.net/used/Ford/2019-Ford-F-150-478b1e330a0e0a9317e6dcb2730d2f20.htm

Beautiful car for the wife and she is in love with it. Like the Raptor, it really gets up and goes. Feels very solid on the road and all the Bling one would expect from SVT. We are planning on attending the ST SUV Experience – Ford Performance Racing School in Park City, UT. B&O sound is great...

It took on a real funny glow at first then it would randomly do blinking and flashing. Finally, nothing. It had water in it. I took her in expecting a warranty replacement but about a week after it was replace, the service manager called with bad news that Ford could not warrant it as it had...

My Raptor randomly reduces the volume while listening to Spotify via Android audio. Any one else experience this or know why it does it? I do have speed compensated volume activated but this event happens when the speed is constant. This does not happen when I play Spotify on my phone and cast...

While replacing my grill that was damaged....no idea how or when. I had to remove the upper rubber air dam covering the top of the radiators. I found that the top of my AC condenser had been slightly crushed. This would have had to be done by one of the service folks that have worked on my...

The other day I was washing my girl and noticed a fist size hole in my grill. WTF? I sure don't remember hitting anything. Not even a bird or rock. Fine! Off to my dealer and order another. Dealer:"Nope, can't order the top grill. Have to get the entire front facia".....to the tune of $1100...

15k miles it is! Have loved every minute of it and plan on 300k more!

Last week I started getting a "Drive modes not available, service required" error on startup. Using Forscan I was able to determine a communication problem with the left front shock. On inspection I found the shock control wire was rubbing against the CV joint boot and had worn the cable in two...

While driving by yesterday I noticed my dealer has a used Gen3 black Raptor sitting out front for sale. I don't know any of the particulars but she is pretty. Things I did notice. No tailgate applique, 35 inch with rim locks. Other than that, call 'em if your looking for one. It's called Legacy...

This was me in 1986 learning how to get "things" unstuck. Not shown, one was up to the main gun in Kentucky mud. Glad I was not on the "dig" crew for that one. I got the clean end, the pull now end!. To right one of these 60 ton beasts takes three other tanks and lots of coordination.

This went through our local media a few months ago. What started as a routine recovery ended badly. The long offset hitch was a major contributor to this tragedy. Learning from the mistakes of others may save your life some day. from Road & Track

So here is the deal. 2021 Raptor 801a and at 700 miles the rain sense stops working. Dealer following Ferd's diagnostics, first checks the rain sensor in the mirror. Found and removed foreign bodies. No change..replace rain sensor....no change.....replace SCCM computer....no change. Now here is...

Fathers day looking over the Grande Ronde Valley Daughter and wife (grin!)

Jumped in the Raptor this morning for a town trip and 100 feet onto the main gravel road I hit the goo. I was another 50 foot into the goo before I realized WTF! My neighbor had "dust abatement" applied to the county road for about 100 yards and this crap is still fresh, only hours old. It is...

Shortly after I took delivery of my Raptor I found this little blue clip on the drivers floor mat. My service manager has no idea what it may be from. Anyone here?

This just came out last weekend. See Fordtechmakuloco's video for details

Just got off the phone with my service manager. He called to ask me to bring in the Raptor for a recall and in addition Ford was paying me a $795 credit. The credit I assume is for the blue cruse prep package. My concern is if this recall is associated with it and if so, do they try to remove...

More details to follow when I get home and can post photos but 173 miles from Bonneville salt flats to Twin falls, Idaho in 5 hrs 14 minutes. This included several stops for photo ops and lunch. All back country roads and dirt. note! Salt, mud and cow pie!

We climbed up the face of the mountain on the east side of the valley to watch the sunset. Took some photos then high balled it further up the mountain were the road were...well not as nice (grin) the road in the photos ends about 1/4 from here. We ran about another 10 miles in then back...

I know there can be many variables so lets keep it simple. A ramp up with a smooth transition that ends on a table top. No decent ramp. This setup should be about the same as lifting the Raptor with a crane a dropping it. If I have an idea of what it takes to bottom out the suspension i can...

Poor Raptor! Seems she did not like Baha mode much today. Took her to a nice desert play area, ratted around trails ranging from crawl to 80+. Total time about 30 min. She performed better than any rig I have ever owned (and that's lots over the years). Pictures to follow. But just before...

Headed out of town today with only the rear windows down. I have encountered wind buffet harmonics in many other vehicles but the Raptor takes it to another level! When I hit 60+ mph it was so bad the entire cab shook. Steering wheel was shaking and I though something was about to explode! When...
