    GEN 1 2014 SVT Raptor Speedo cluster dies and vehicle wont start

    Sounds like a wiring problem replacing the BCM isn’t gonna fix anything. First verify you have a healthy battery, go through check all your fuses. Thoroughly! Don’t assume it’s good. Check your door sail area wiring verify there isn’t anything loose or wires chewed up look for signs of it in the...

    In case anyone wonders why techs tell people to not follow your oil change minders. Here’s my 64k miles on OG phasers. Replaced my valve cover due to a crack in the front area. Oil has been changed every 5k with Full synthetic.

    GEN 2 Morimoto Marker Lights

    I did all mine including the grille with Morimoto kit. I posted some tips on my instagram about doing the grille. Absolutely no power tools on the grille or ratchets finger tight and you can always do black hot glue to make the lights more rigid. Or if the stud breaks.

    Gen 3 Software Update - Bricked Raptor

    Unfortunately things are not as easy as you think. Once a certain data set is corrupted it can interrupt communication on the CAN network honestly, as a tech I am not a fan of OTA for these reasons. My theory is Updates should only be applied with a wired connection to the vehicle.
