    Truck value

    Mods don't add any value, and often decrease unless it's somebody that really knows about these trucks. Mileage plays the biggest factor on enthusiast vehicles and you will be taking a hit for this many. Anything close to $30k is all I see here.

    Cracked valve cover got me @ 82k

    It's a well documented common problem. They will all do it sooner or later, left side was 50k and right was 110k for me. They are pretty inexpensive and not too difficult to replace if you DIY. Some just have a minor crack that can be JB welded and carry on. If you had cam phasers done the...

    BF Goodrich KO3

    Just to add another data point with the KO3, I've been riding KO2s in C but desperately needed new tires. Since it was black friday they had a deal with a few bucks off on the KO3. I was hesitant to pull the trigger because of the F load range and have been very satisfied with the KO2 in C, but...

    2017 Avalanche with 13k miles and a lift in GA. Anyone know this truck?

    He definitely bought a hunk of shit, that is why "buyer beware" is a saying. It's easy to see by looking at the picture, but also such low miles and being sold so many times. Hopefully its not a flood or salvage truck. Sometimes people need to make their own mistakes. Up to him to learn from it...

    GEN 2 I need some help from the experts. Potential Oil Starvation.

    Yeah, this will most definitely have engine damage with that amount of loss. It sucks, and I'm not ******** on you or anything but this is why its only DIY or Ford for lube service since these trucks are so expensive. I hope they cover it for you, but if not you have to go the lawyer route which...

    BF Goodrich KO3

    I am only seeing the KO3 in a F load rated. I'm pleased with the KO2 in C load range, worried about a worse riding tire on pavement. Are the F comparable?

    Gen 2 High Mileage - Transmission

    If you have already been changing the fluid I wouldn't worry too much there are lots of reported high mileage examples over 200k. Yes lots of reported issues too on the 10r80, its really a gamble on how long it goes but if you maintained it well its probably fine for a good while. I'm well over...

    Anybody have a independent shop recommendation in the DFW area?

    Thank you, not too far from me either!

    Anybody have a independent shop recommendation in the DFW area?

    On my 2018 Raptor I have a intermittent click/clank sound that sounds like its coming from the front drivers side when turning or going straight. The truck is stock other than downpipes, and I don't believe its related to them. Anyways with a new kid I don't have time or patience to be dealing...

    Is it my tires?

    No clue why people say that either, Gen 2 rides great for a truck and its my favorite truck by far to drive daily, but is in no way comparable to an escalade or other luxury SUV. These reviewers and such hype shit up too much, or have never driven a true luxury vehicle.

    Goodyear Territory MT

    Yeah that F rated tire is a no go, no idea why that is the only one available. Was looking forward to new tires this fall, but will wait or go with another brand

    Storm damage advice

    43k is a really good offer for it, so I don't think there is a bad way to go. I would just buy it back and keep the leftover money and drive it until it falls apart. Maybe fix a few minor things, but I'd live with the damage if its mechanically stellar. I like trucks with battle scars that run...

    Exhaust? Caliper?

    I had a similar rattle at one point around 50k, I put new sway bar end links on and it did not resolve. It actually ended up being the caliper bolts, not the bracket bolts but the slide pins. When I removed them and cleaned/ re grease it went away and has been fine ever since. There was little...

    180000 mile 2017 raptor?

    180k can be many different things, its really a case by case basis. I'd avoid if its been beaten and not serviced well, however if taken care of there is still likely tons of life left. Just may have to do some minor repairs that pop up. There are many high mileage ecoboosts out there...

    Adaptive Cruise Control RetroFit

    This would be quite difficult to add after the fact, there are cameras, windshield, sensors, wiring, control modules, steering wheel controls, etc that all have to be updated or added. Likely cost prohibitive if it can even be achieved to work nicely, likely cheaper to sell and buy one with it...

    P to D jerking

    Mine will do this on rare occasions also. I've had other make trucks do it as well, nothing to really be concerned with unless its happening every time. 100k+ and no issues related to the trans.

    2H vs 4A?

    Depends on the type of work they were doing on your truck, they may have needed to put it in 4A to verify correct operation. It is a 4wd vehicle after all, not going to hurt anything. But driving in sunny San Diego I would use 2H around town. I'm always 2wd in Texas just driving around normally...

    gen 2 eibach labor cost

    $600 doesn't sound unreasonable to me in today's market for a spring removal and install. Labor rates have gone up a lot, $200/hr depending on shop/market. $300 would be extremely cheap in my opinion for a quality shop. Not saying it cant be had, but few and far between

    Pads and Rotors Recommendations

    While gm is horrible in many regards, brakes are generally one of their better areas. AC delco makes parts for nearly all manufactures. Akebono is a supplier for most Japanese manufacturers. My factory brakes were horrible after 30k, no reason to stick with ford in that regard for a factory...

    Pads and Rotors Recommendations

    I've always had good luck with Akebono pads and AC Delco rotors if looking for long life, both are improvements over what comes factory in my experience

    Gen 2 maintenance 60K

    I really didn't do much preventive maintenance until around 75k other than oil and filters etc, at that time I replaced the spark plugs, trans fluid, brake fluid, coolant, 4 new shocks. Since you have a 2018 I would just put new shocks in instead of a rebuild, Its barely more $$ if you stay OEM...

    Gen2 Catalytic Converter Availability

    I started throwing p0420 codes around 75k, I tried to get my dealer to cover new cats but they wouldn't budge. I also almost always use quality fuel and truck is otherwise stock. OEM ford cats were too expensive for me at the time, I thought about going aftermarket with SPD downpipes or similar...

    Cruise Control buttons not working after steering wheel replacement

    Just an update to this if anyone else has a similar issue: The cruise control switches that come with a new OE wheel, are not for adaptive cruise control, which I needed. The cruise control switches needed for ACC have different part numbers depending on year even though they look the same...

    Any tips on how to prevent vehicle theft?

    Yes This is the case. Even if it is sounding nobody cares in a public environment.
