    Gen 1 Raptor vs. SD Engine Swap

    Way late to the party here and I understand the numbers match plans etc. However, for anyone interested I recommend you talk to the owner Walter of https://aftermarket-hq.myshopify.com/ . Raptors is his speciality and they have 7.3 godzilla motor package to replace your 6.2 that sounds very...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    That's impressive but my brain wires would short out until I cleaned everything before being able to get anything else done. My first thought was I gotta get to this guys shop and clean that up! Lol *ptsd from engine building daddy beating it into me.*

    PPF Buyers Remorse + I'm an idiot = I'm lost

    So unfortunately I am starting to realize that a lot of the UV protection claims made might be complete BS! I watched a dude on youtube compared different interior products on clear glass slides and using a UV meter on the other side of the glass slide. All the products failed to block UV and...

    That's the cushion effect you guys get from all the cash in your back pockets as compared to someone who drives a 2014.

    Raptor sighting

    A couple of years ago '23 and me' enlightened me that I have a son back in Texas. He sent me some pictures from his college days in Texas. This one told me he was in fact my son.

    PPF Buyers Remorse + I'm an idiot = I'm lost

    Get the mistakes fixed by the original dude. Drive it for a few weeks and then decide. It looks like the pff is not covering the entire top of the fender flares? You can't see that from the side but that might drive me to remove it and then have them repainted or sell them all as is and buy...

    Be careful what you wish for... they might be the beginning of the end of that special place. We have watched Nevada sink with the same plates showing up.

    6.2L gen1; Name this noise please?

    With the heat out here I will probably hear the noise again but hopefully not that loud. It's my understanding the cheap one was working though loud asf. Gotta love the epa! 16 plugs is awesome

    2024 Initial Thoughts

    I was at the dealer picking up a purge valve for my Gen 1. I saw a beautiful metallic red 2024 outside on display. Very cool, state of the art though the interior all black was lame. I then saw the price at 82k plus a market value mark up of 23k for a grand total of 105k. So my Initial Thoughts...

    Weird spot on paint by sunroof. Any ideas?

    Hate to think it but that could be a vinegar (cleaning solution) stain from a spray bottle the tint dudes set on the roof. Probably not but you did mention work being done recently and it would've been clear and not noticeable until it had time to penatrate. Hope you get it fixed.

    Weird spot on paint by sunroof. Any ideas?

    That's a nasty stain. You would need to cut it(cutting pad) out of the clearcoat before it makes into the paint if it already hasn't. Hard to tell from the picture but a compound or cutting agent using hand power might remove it.

    6.2L gen1; Name this noise please?

    Welp I swapped it out with the Motorcraft valve and zero thumping so far. Autozone gave me my money back too.

    6.2L gen1; Name this noise please?

    It's the purge valve thumping. Yes you can feel it without a doubt. I can't believe how loud that is from something that appears to not have much internally. I am looking at the Ford one now for $54.27. Hopefully the new one knocks out this sound for a bit. Thank you all for the time and solution.
