    2012 Raptor 6R80 larger fluid pan

    It’s lower than the oem pan, I’m not sure how much, but it’s not as low as the frame cross member just in front of it, it’s not the lowest thing on the truck

    2012 Raptor 6R80 larger fluid pan

    I just installed the AFE pan, was very happy with it, hold 7 quarts more than oem (was the biggest increase of any after market pan I saw), it fit in no problem even with my kooks exhaust and green cats, I did it the same time I installed a B&M transmission dipstick and saudi trans cooler.

    Found an area of rust, question

    Yeah that’s probably what I’ll do, grind out the edges with a die grinder to clean metal, make a small metal patch, epoxy it in place with 3m automotive structural epoxy, then seal it all up. Just have to see which 3m epoxy would be best, I know a lot of them are stronger than the base materials...

    Found an area of rust, question

    I’m not too concerned about the coating. I’m more curious about this area. Is that the front corner of the footwell into the cab? Trying to decide how to best repair, whether to cut out an area and weld in a patch, or cut out an area and use structural automotive epoxy to attach a small patch...

    Found an area of rust, question

    I am currently cleaning the underside of my truck, applying rust inhibitor, and then coating it with cosmoline. Ive done the rust inhibitor every couple years and have kept the truck mostly rust free in the Northeast and figured adding coamoline as a coating would help as well. The area with...

    Help picking which deavers to run

    Im wondering if I should just start with geisers on low and +3s with a drop shackle that was I could always switch to mids, and take out the drip shackle in the future, unless there is a downside to running the +3 with a drip shackle with oem shocks. But I just don’t know whether SD or HD...

    RPG bumper

    Does RPG not make any of their bumpers for the gen 1 anymore? I’ve always been wanting to get a trophy line front and race line rear at some point, but I’ve been watching and all of their bumpers have said out of stock for a long time now.

    Aftermarket gauge question, aeroforce interceptor

    The truck does monitor intake temp after the intercooler (iat2) and can be seen on the aero force interceptors with just the obd-II hookup, you wire in a new pin to a blank slot in the pcm plug when you install the whipple. The truck doesn’t monitor boost/vacuum pressure, i installed a pressure...

    GEN 1 Whipple Kit Install :D

    Yes I just reused the factory clamp, I just ordered some breeze worm gear hose clamps, going to have to take the blower and alternator back off to change the clamp. Hoping it’s leaking from the hose on the barb, and not where the new barb goes into the block. Don’t know how I’d fix it if that...
