    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    I think this is the result of one of the recent OTA updates. I don’t have the Ford tune but mine started doing this a couple months ago. It did not do it prior. It eventually goes off or locking the truck with the key fob seems it shut it off.

    Water dripping inside - Dealership says normal

    When you say “behind rear seat” do you mean against the back wall of the cab? Not just behind the front driver/passenger seats? Saw some videos about the cabin vents on the rear cabin wall (between bed/cab) that can leak water to the interior.

    PPF on rocker panels?

    Yes, ppf up to that lower body line on the doors. Also followed that line and did the bedsides. Those areas take the most rock hits especially off-road. Cheap way to protect the paint. Not sure why some wouldn’t think it’s a good idea to protect.

    Aftermarket lighting/battery issues

    Lot to unpack here. Pretty common for a dealership to just blame the aftermarket lights (mine did the same but it ultimately was solved by replacing the faulty original battery). 1) Aux 1 was used to control the factory fog/off road light so whoever installed the new lights probably used the...

    Planning trip to Alaska and have a question about comms

    If there’s Starlink service up there that might you’re best bet and would allow you to use your regular cell phones normally. I actually just got a Roamsat starlink setup for my truck. Pricey but it’s best of the best. Allows you about 8-10hrs of use without needing to be powered by the truck...

    Battery issue, Charging issue or BMS issue?

    For those interested, I installed an Interstate MTZ H8 battery in my truck today. Fits perfect without any issue. It’s their top of the line battery and has some significant power spec gains over the stock (and most of the batteries I’ve seen listed). Always had good luck with Interstate and...

    What Tire Jack do you travel with on your 37?

    I haven’t tried but I’m pretty sure the jack would fit without the carry case that it comes with. I have mine mounted on a built right panel in the bed. It’s been mounted for about 2yrs without issue and I have full use of the bed. No problem carrying lumber, motorcycles, etc.

    WeBoost Antenna run with VHF Radio Antenna

    I have both run off a bulletproof brake light. Haven’t run into issues using a kenwood 5700 radio, not sure about on the weboost side as there isn’t really a way to test/know. You’ll have to come up with the correct connectors to transition from the NMO cable to the SMA on the weebost. If you...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Yes, I dropped the spare and did one side at a time. Jacked up one side by the axel and supported with jack stands. If you do it this way, you’ll need to carefully raise the truck by the frame rail during the last step to gain enough clearance to slide in the bump stop into the bracket. No need...

    OEM G3 Rear Under Seat Storage Retrofit Install

    Out of curiosity, is there a reason you couldn’t just use a bolt from the top to secure the storage unit into the threaded holes? Instead of the stud and nut setup done at the factory?

    What’s going on here? Middle mud flaps?

    Mid flaps like that are pretty common on offroad race trucks. Helps to protect undercarriages from being rock/sand blasted. The correct way to do it is with a soft/flexible rubber sheet that will freely move and not be snapped off easily. Ps, not saying this is a racetruck but probably where...

    What Tire Jack do you travel with on your 37?

    Pro Eagle CO2 jack is in my opinion the best option if not going for a full size floor jack. Can’t beat the size, speed, and ability to also use it to inflate tires.

    How to strap this down?

    Don’t have a parts list but I sourced the L track online and cut it to length. Used stainless bolts, the largest fender washers doubled up and stainless locknuts. I think i posted about it before, you might search for it. If I were to do it again, I’d see if this angled track would fit flush...

    How to strap this down?

    L track might be the best thing I’ve done to my truck.

    Installed 37's on Gen3 35 Raptor - no issues.

    Maybe for the rear but the front bump stops are integrated in the shocks. Ford/Fox has installed an additional rubber bumper on the shock shaft of the 37 trucks (on 35 trucks there is only a single rubber bumper). There’s no Gen3 specific shocks yet but I’d assume there will have to be...

    Installed 37's on Gen3 35 Raptor - no issues.

    He’s saying that 37s on a 35 truck will hit the fenders at full compression. Those running wheels with more offset from factory will be even worse as it pushes the wheel further out and will have even less clearance at full compression. This is because it pushes the wheel further out which...

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    I completed the steps posted by Goose but am getting a “vehicle not supported by AP” when reinstalling. For those with @COBB Tuning you might want to turn off auto OTA updates until this gets sorted.

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    @GooseTuned thanks, glad I asked. When you say attempt to reinstall the AP, is there a possibility we might run into an issue doing so?

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    @GooseTuned any idea if the latest OTA update 23-pu1009-ss-ns will affect the tuning on these trucks? Seems a google search shows others complaining off issues because it is a PCM update. I’m turning off OTA until we can get confirmation from you or @COBB Tuning Anyone else here with a Cobb...

    Recurring Suspension Squeak

    So far, 2 weeks and squeaking hasn’t returned. After listening to the squeaking for months I’m extremely glad it worked. Try to grab a bottle of the WD40 PTFE dry lube from home depot and hit all the pivots while you’re at it. Hope it fixes the issue for you too!

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    SVC bump kit installed. The kit was just released so no instructions but it’s pretty straight forward. Ground down some of the frame welds that were protruding and painted. The band clamp on the passenger side exhaust needs to rotate but has a tack weld that needs to be ground to allow it...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    I opted to go for the Reviver digital plates on this truck. Really happy with it. Paid my DMV registration through the app recently and it was easy, fast, and my tags updated within minutes. Cost is about the same or less than going with any of the optional plates available from the CA DMV...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    I know a couple CHP and they said they’re actively pulling people for this alone. It’s considered forging a plate so not a simple fix it ticket.

    Front diff size? And fluid capacity and specs..

    I believe most use 75/90 just like the rear, although that is technically not the exact spec listed by Ford. If you’re doing it yourself, you will need to extract the oil out of the fill plug. Easy job if you have the right tools. I used a brake bleed vacuum pump. There is no drain plug on the...
