    Good Bye Raptor Hello Bronco?

    Ha we must be twins! I have the raptor and the LR4 for the wife I agree if you own a house you will always need a pickup, even though the raptor is more then enough for a family hauler the wife loves the land rovers when we go on road trips. As for the OP, the bronco is pretty small, it’s the...

    2011 Raptor 216K - Thoughts?

    Ha, parts aren’t that expensive. Most of the cost is the shock rebuilds. I could have avoided paying $500 by not having my mechanic drop in the ball joints and pinion seal. Each ball joint is only $50, pinion seal and nut is only $20. Rear diff fluid $90, oil and filter $45, tf fluid for power...

    2011 Raptor 216K - Thoughts?

    Don’t get too put off, def talk him down! I just got a 2013 with 244k miles I stole it at $14k. 2 owners here in the NE, both drove it insane amount of miles a year30k/20k respectively. Def extremely well maintained or it would not have lasted this long. First owner used as fleet, second owner...

    WTB : Gen 1 Stock complete front shocks (rear too if included)

    Cheaper, easier and costs much less to ship if you remove your springs. Spring compressor tool is only $30 on amazon. If you leave your springs on shipping will cost another $30-50 minimum.

    2 or 2 1/2 leveling kit for my 2011 Raptor??

    Mid perch on front, and get some 2017-2018 3.0’s for the rear. You will sit at 42 1/2” on front and rear totally level. I read conflicting things about the 3.0 rears in the gen 1. If it’s a pavement princess, should be zero issues with them on the rear. However I have seen people put deevers +2...

    Valve spring repair cost?

    That’s outlandishly expensive! Here in NY where mechanics are notorious for ripping people off would only charge $2500/$3k maximum. For $5k you might as well buy a low mile motor for $3500-$4500 with a 40k mile warranty and have any mechanic drop it in for around $2500. If 1 spring went bad...

    Possible blown head gasket? (Solved)

    @MTF I have a Costco near me and I picked up a few cases of mobile 1 5w30 high mileage full synthetic ($30 case of 6). I also stocked up on a few of the ford performance filters as well. @Ellison3 That’s pretty much what I’ve been reading. I’m sure it didn’t help this truck was sitting up in...

    Possible blown head gasket? (Solved)

    Can mark this thread as Solved! Ford dealer near me had a pcv valve in stock ($9.11) I checked the oil cap when I got home and there was only a drop of that milky oil on the cap. Cleaned it and popped the new pcv valve in. Took another drive 40-50 mile round trip and and checked the cap and...

    Possible blown head gasket? (Solved)

    I'm not losing any coolant at all, also no sweet smell from the tail pipe, or anywhere in the engine bay. I also let the motor come up to temp again and removed the oil cap and saw some smoke/steam (when it wasn't at temp there was nothing. Also looking down into the head the oil looks perfect...

    Possible blown head gasket? (Solved)

    I will definitely have that done this week when I bring it in for the lower ball joints. I will be changing out the pcv valve and oil cap in the next day or so. Reply just hoping it’s the pcv valve.

    Possible blown head gasket? (Solved)

    Ha yeah, blue devil is one of those things. You have to first flush the coolant out with fresh water, add the sealer, run the engine at temp for 20 mins. Then let it cool and take it for a drive a few hours later. That stuff does work and I’ve used it in the past on a friends car. Honestly after...
