    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    At 80K I felt like mine were still great. Great ride, handled off road well. After the rebuild though? Damn. Mine were worn... I certainly had forgotten what it should feel like.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    I bought at 76k with no belt change in the history as well. I had the stealership do it at 99,995 when it was in for cam phasers. I get this annoying squeal after rain, even after the belts were changed. I assume it is a pully.

    $1.62 = less mess oil changes

    Of the 20 oil changes I have done on the Raptor, I did it without ANY mess. Once.

    AERO6-DM Direct-Mount Truck Front Brake Kit- 2020 Ford Raptor

    Are these likely to fit under the stock beadlock rims?

    Who actually likes their aftermarket exhaust?

    This with the SPD catted downpipes is my plan. I am just concerned about drone. Let us know how you like that combo and how it compares to the sound clips.

    Geiser +3, Deaver +3 SD, and TSW rebuilds

    The shock center nut was loose on the drivers side. Got a good turn and a half out of it. The other was tight. That took 90% of the sound away. Now I have something that I think is a inner tie rod.

    2019 - Final Gut Check Before Fixing Broken Rear Shocks

    I have a 17. TSW did the shock rebuild a few months after I got the truck (70k I believe is when they were rebuilt). Now with almost 110k they are 100% in need of a rebuild again, probably should have done it at 90K. I am not nice to the truck though.

    Gen2 Catalytic Converter Availability

    I am looking at these too. With the trombone and HX muffler. My concern is my next door neighbor is the king of *********, so I can't be too loud. Nevermind, I don't care if I wake him up.

    Gen2 Catalytic Converter Availability

    I think one of my cats is bad, at just under 110k miles. I am getting a slight shudder at high load high RPM. Troubleshooting seems everything is fine. Previous owner was a 87 octane only guy with unknown driving habits. Aftermarket downpipes with cats might be a better solution than waiting months.

    Bed side storage

    I am curious if there is anything like this available for our trucks. I guess you can get them right from GM on their trucks. Built Right is a great idea for when you’re off roading, but not just for carrying things daily. Don’t care for traditional need toolboxes.

    4A mode: Pulls way to hard to the right

    I have been having this problem lately. Would always torque steer under hard acceleration. But now any throttle at all and it is pulling hard right. Nothing changed, no new tires or rotation. Just suddenly started. I am assuming one of the IWE is stuck disengaged. One thing I have noticed is...

    BAMF Rock Sliders

    I was doing some dumb stuff off road and bent the drivers side step to the point I had to climb out the other side and jump on it a few times to open the door. Now it just doesn't look perfectly straight... I would like sliders just as a peace of mind thing.

    Wiggle? or shake?

    Deaver +3 with rebuilds and its 90% better for me. Then tire pressure adjustment is what got it really under control. Every once in a while now it gets a little shimmy at highway speed around a corner with a dip from a drainage grate or terrible road repairs. But not sketchy like it was when I...

    Power loss after running

    I have the same problem. When the truck is warm but not hot it makes ample and smooth power. When it is hot it makes very little power until 5000 rpm then it pulls hard. Definitely a boost leak, but odd that it suddenly starts pulling way later in the powerband. My thought initially was the BOV...

    My dash cam footage of a neon driver with a death wish

    I used to have a Neon SRT4 back in my younger and dumb street racing days. Was sitting around 440 wheel horsepower when I was done with it. Traded it on on something slow. I actually haven't seen one on the road in about 10 years, probably because they are all highly modified and driven like that.

    Bedside decal peeling

    My drivers side bedside decal is peeling at the points of the lettering. Anyone have success sticking them back down with anything? Not sure what adhesive would be best due to South Texas heat and humidity.

    Front timing cover leak

    I had my 17 in for cam phasers recently. Was at 99,900 miles, so I figured while they are in there, change the water pump, timing chain, and guides/tensioners. I was told the chains are on national backorder with no ETA, but mine were good. I figured since they were in there, labor costs were...

    Socal run??

    I will be in SoCal June 5th - 15th if you all have something planned then, I might join in.

    2018 802 with 71k Miles - Risky or Safe?

    I bought my 17 with 69,900 on it for a decent price. Not great but decent (pandemic pricing). I am owner #3, but the truck looked great with maintenance records. But NO recalls or TSB's done. Was a "Ford Certified Pre-Owned" so I got a great warranty to 100k, but that mileage has come and gone...

    Front Suspension Pop/Clunk Noise

    Can the top nuts be accessed easily? From the engine bay or wheelwells? I have this same knock after having the shocks rebuilt.

    Road trippin'

    Me too. Twice so far, and again in a few weeks. Haven't had a problem yet, aside from the odd/dirty looks from Californians seeing a Raptor with Texas plates. 85mph cruise set the whole way, only stopped for gas. 24 hours there, 26 hours back every time. Admittedly at 65 it would have cost way less.

    Built Motor

    E85 I think? 700 in a Raptor is the ideal amount of fun. But if I were to go built, I am shooting for 1000 or more. One day, when the wife OKs my plans.

    Built Motor

    RMB Motorworks makes a few stage kits that are pricey, but seem pretty overbuilt. I believe even a 4.2 stroke short block. Though I haven't seen one in person yet.
