    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Ahh, that explains it. I have had a few cars setup with thick yellow film from Lamin-x over the fog lights or headlights and it gave the color I was looking for. I just didn't place it in that photo. I have some projector headlights I was going to modify, this may be a way to go with them. Thanks!

    I like the DRL/led yellow instead of amber. What brand/model are the headlights and tail lights? they dont look like morimoto XB headlights. Thanks -TP

    High mileage owners please check in

    232k miles, I have been chasing a intermittent TSS sensor fault that was causing erratic and harsh shifts and causing the transmission to hang in second or third gear. I replaced the transmission valve body control unit and added a performance automatic deep transmission pan and a dipstick kit...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    thanks for the input, the thing I am really concerned about is how bad/loud the drone will be when I tow my travel trailer. DD it is mostly only me in the truck and I can live with some but towing is the whole family and it may cause an issue.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I do have a valve on the top, looks like a 2.5psi but the cap is not drilled. I used a derale cooler from summit. It was more stout than the gj cooler option and was able to fab similar brackets and I wanted to use AN fittings throughout. I ordered a small catch can from Amazon today, I hope...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I made my own kit with the Kartek reservoir and a different style cooler and completely bypassed the factory cooler in the condenser. The cap on mine is not drilled and it pukes a little down the side and makes a mess. My plan is to drill the top and add a small catch can that will catch the...

    2010 6.2L horrible engine noise

    100% agree spending some money on a good truck you already own is better than having a 1K/month payment on a new one.

    GEN 1 Air Conditioner Issue -

    My A/C would blow cold for about a minute and then warm, airflow was terrible and blend door actuators were toast. see the post here I found a layer of dirt about 1/4 inch thick on the evaporator that was causing the compressor the "short cycle" and the humidity sensor would always think it was...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    hah i was almost there too, as soon as I found the broken studs I was contemplating having it towed to a mechanic but since the wife is working virtual I was able to steal her car and drive my land cruiser to work instead. lets just say my land cruiser's mpg makes me happy to be driving the...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Replaced the passenger side exhaust manifold, gasket and extracted the two broken studs causing the exhaust leak. I would rather remove and replace the a/c evaporator core again instead. -TP

    The important question is will it fit through the Starbucks drive thru? or the McDonald;s drive thru since its a Gen1...:D

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I started Saturday morning, worked on it for about 8 hours got it all disassembled and cleaned and back together Sunday afternoon after about 4 hours. Then about an hour or two to charge the system Monday after work. -TP

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    it was the one on the bottom between the floor and the HVAC box that the claim was made it could be replaced without removing it... not happening. At least not happening with a flow through center console and the floor vent under the front seats.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Yes definitely, the temp actuator was already making noise, so I replaced all of them even if they were still working. I have seen a couple videos claiming that you can replace them without removing the dash... it looked unlikely (without hacking it up) to me. -TP

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    not today but I replaced the evaporator and condenser, think O found out why my a/c wasn't working. This truck spent the first half of its life on a ranch and the dust and hay behind the dash show it. The Air conditioning works great now and blows 48* air out of the vents.
