    2017 Ford Raptor Torsen front diff failure.

    To the OP: The Torsen units are pretty strong...my last truck (2wd) had a custom install but has lasted for over 100,000 miles and no failures...and I was hard on it...smoking the tires across intersections when every a Dodge Hemi got too froggy...

    SDHQ Chase Rack Review

    The extra MAC straps do keep the tires from wobbling... I'll have to check and see how much room to get hands and bolts back behind the vertical plate... I've got 2 Baja trips on this rack and about 1,000 off road miles with several Raptor groups and not a single issue with the rack....

    Oem BL wheel owners-remove beauty rings for new tires?

    The bottom line is every guy who DOESN'T remove those rings will be hitting himself in the head when they do get scratched at a shop....

    Oem BL wheel owners-remove beauty rings for new tires?

    That's me....I do the R&R everytime for tire removal/change. I use my 3/8" drive M12 cordless and T40 driver, I crack them loose with ratchet and remove with the above gun...I do use anti-seize and run them down with my gun, but not too tight.. DON'T loose those bolts....could not find exact...

    Quick Question - Oil

    That has to be a first....a dealer refusing to service a vehicle early.....unless the oil changes were under some sort of service/warranty package...

    Quick Question - Oil

    That's about what I've been doing and feel comfortable with that...Fords recommendation of about 10,000 miles is a pipe dream in my opinion. Several good oils out there, but I would not run anything NOT fully synthetic...I run Redline, but again there are others... PS...have about 30K miles and...

    Need new tires, maybe wheels too

    You could always call your local Malls and see what they recommend...I read somewhere that some people buy a dual wheeled F-450...but don't actually tow anything....wonder why that is?.... Ha...ha...just razing you a bit...:)

    Tire rotation

    I've been doing fleet maintenance for about 36 years, and spoke to many veh and tire reps over those years....and asking what they recommend for tire rotation: Pretty much all said about 3 to 4 thousand miles. They were pretty much split over how to rotate. Simply rear to front on the same side...

    Gen 2 Torque Specs?

    I know this....bottom front shock mount bolt spec is 430 lb/ft.....and a lot of guys tighten them up after some type of work and don't get them tight enough and wind up with a front "clunk"... I'll keep an eye out for some more info and of course share what I find..

    Any setup that can safely tow my 5500lb tractor?

    Up until now my advice/opinion has been just "theoretical" but that has now changed... I just placed an order for a somewhat custom 8.5 x 20 x 7.5 cargo trailer to be built. It's rated for a GVW of 7,000 lbs...right at my comfort limit..Empty I think I'll be fine, but anything heavier then a...

    GEN 2 Is additional skid plate armor worth it?

    Of course and our trucks have more then just about any truck out there...however Mr. Diff didn't get much love in that area so tohers make them. Again it's if you need one or not, it's if your off road use is such that one really should be installed...and I'm now convinced for my usage it's...

    Heading to Foutz Motorsports..any questions?

    Well I am NOT Greg....but we could have a fun conversation over a couple of rum based cocktails on this one... One of my first off road vehicles was a 1973 F100...of course set up for prerunning. Never dwelled much on the structural strength of the cab but because I COULD build my own cage I...

    I really hate it when new car dealers had a bunch of crap on that I don’t need or want

    Like many I ordered just what I wanted....no decals, no Moon roof, no lane control....and yeah no "extra" N2 in my tires...
