    Thanks for the correction.

    Just Bought This Gen 2

    The 594’s are the updated 542’s. The M-12405-35T’s are good plugs also. Those are the colder plugs that Ford sells. You should be good no matter which ones you use.

    Just Bought This Gen 2

    You are good. I believe the ones you ordered are the updated version of the ones I put in.

    Just Bought This Gen 2

    Good deal. Was the oil pan leaking, or are you just changing it for preventative maintenance? I changed my plugs to the SP-542. It was a noticeable difference.

    2019 Transmission assistance

    Was the component they mentioned a solenoid? Since this is intermittent and given the fact that it seems to be weather/temperature related, it sounds more like a hardware related issue to me. I have heard of the software relearn fixing some general rough shifting especially when going from...

    $7.50 gallon gas

    Accounting for inflation, that is equivalent to $2.27 today. I feel like that would be a fair price for gas.

    FSA 21B10 - Cam phaser update?

    That video is 3 months old. Here is the latest. YouTube It looks like the procedure was updated yesterday (July 15) to take into account for the transmission shudder. It still sounds messy in my opinion. I’m going to reschedule and wait a few more weeks to see how this all plays out.

    I scheduled mine for Monday, before it disappears again.

    How To: Clean Upfitter/Aux Wiring Fuse Block Install

    I printed a bottom plate to mount the fuse box and ground terminal to. It’s not something you have to do, but it made it easier for me to attach everything to the top of the fuse panel.

    How To: Clean Upfitter/Aux Wiring Fuse Block Install

    That is a great write up. I finished installing all of my lights and cleaned up the wiring a little. I also redesigned the 3D printed mount to fit all of the gen 2 Raptors, not just the 17-18 years.

    Aloha

    Congrats! I used to live in Mililani. Several years ago I tried to buy a Vette on the island. I saved money by flying to Orlando, buying it there, and then shipping it all the way back. Even took my family to Disney World. Hawaii’s dealerships are the worst.

    GEN 2 Raptor Lean?

    I would definitely take it in now while it is brand new. If the dealer tells you to wait and let it settle, so be it, but at least it is documented. If you wait then you run the risk of the dealer blaming you for something. I really don’t think this is something that will “settle” over time.

    GEN 2 Raptor Lean?

    Definitely not normal. I would take it in. They might do something since it is brand new. Otherwise they would just tell you it’s within specs and brush you off.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Does anyone know if the Pioneer TS-A6990F would be similar sounding to the TS-A6986R? I have the 2017 Sony system. Thanks.

    Rear view Mirror Trim Removal

    Never mind, I got it off. It's hard to see in the pic, but it appears to be the adhesive melting a little bit. I find this kind of odd. It's the original windshield, and the truck is always kept in the garage out of the heat. As for the dome lights, I still don't have any idea. It's a 2017.

    Rear view Mirror Trim Removal

    Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the trim from around the rearview mirror? I feel like it's going to break when I start prying on it. I am seeing some oily liquid leaking out from inside of it and I wanted to try and find out what it is. I don't know if it is related, but my dome...

    Raptor Assault Highlights!

    Great Video! I went in 2017, but they didn't have the "jump" section added yet.

    Offroad Alliance Fog Light Kits

    Does the Triple Bezel Fog Light Kit block any of the light? The design of it makes it look like it might create a shadow in the front center of the truck. I'm trying to decide if I want to go with the kit or not. Thanks.

    Upfitter "Patch Panel"

    Quick update. I added a ground terminal, and 3D printed a plate to attach everything on.

    Upfitter "Patch Panel"

    The pass through fuse block that I bought works, but it isn't the best quality. If anyone knows of a better 12 port fuse block please let me know: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07193R681/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 Grounding Terminal: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WV486BS/ You will...

    Upfitter "Patch Panel"

    This probably fits under the category of totally unnecessary, but I think it might make things easier for me in the future. I am planning on installing a bunch of off-road lights, and I was thinking it would be nice if there was more of a plug-in-play type installation scenario. It would also...

    GEN 2 Steering alignment off or road crown?

    My steering wheel was off centered from the factory as well, although the alignment was fine. I had to take it back to Ford 3 times before it was right, they kept over correcting it. Very frustrating. Once they got it fixed, it’s been fine ever since. Our highways in Washington State have a...

    Triple Bezel Kit from Offroad Alliance (pics, short review)

    I’m about to buy the same kit, except with the Baja Pros. Have you had any issues running the KC Hilites at night blinding people? Are there better options to have on all the time without being too bright?
