    2014 gen 1 performance mods

    Funny you post this because I originally thought 30% was the correct drive train loss. That makes a lot of sense to me and I actually looked up the generally accepted drive train loss for a 4wd before I posted to avoid this. I know for a fact changing tyres changes the gear ratio of the total...

    5.0 swap vs building the 6.2

    Um… how do you think they got 6.6l out of a 6.2l. The rods pistons are new units. The crank cams and heads are modified factory. Only part that is stock is the block but I believe they modify that as well because they delete the oil squirters. So yes it’s expensive but they do a hell of a lot of...

    2014 gen 1 performance mods

    Your drive train loss seems a bit high. In 4wd it should be no more than 20%. Also you don’t get 411hp without both off road mode engaged and 91 octane or higher in the tank. Perhaps that’s where the low numbers came from. Likely 330 to the wheels is more accurate. Unless not in off road or...

    Fuel Reading 3/4 - connections?

    The sender has a potentiometer, seems like the contacts are worn. I would replace the whole unit before the pump goes out.

    Lack of aftermarket options with stock offset?

    Yeah bought my set of five on here for a decent price. Got luck I guess. Shipping was pretty expensive because I was on the other side of the damn country!

    Lack of aftermarket options with stock offset?

    My vote is for the bottom set, but they may be a pain to clean. Why not go for the factory 09-14 forged headlock wheels? Stock offset and forged is stronger without much weight penalty. Also most here would agree they look fantastic.

    Number 1 Toyota Fanboy just took the plunge

    Welcome, and congratulations on owning a real truck. Glad you swapped out your Camry with a bed for the raptor. You will love everything about it except parking it in cities.

    Recommended radiator?

    I would go with full race. I have used aftermarket CSF radiators for years on my track cars with absolutely no issues. They do what they claim and last a long time at a great price. Now if I was trying to build a Baja runner perhaps there would be something better out there? Haven't gone into...

    New owner NVA 2010 6.2l

    That’s all common at these mileages and age. You got one hell of a deal in my opinion. Now you can just upgrade without lying to yourself saying you “need” it. Lol

    New owner NVA 2010 6.2l

    Just curious what too much is? I paid 30k for a 13 with 135k miles about six months ago. Thought that was a lot!

    SOLD: 2014 SCrew, Blue, 82k miles - MI

    Sad to see you move away from the gen 1 but love that you got a ranger raptor! This was my initial first choice, but with all the mark ups, it hardly made sense. Good luck with your new ride, I’m sure it will be awesome!

    Gen 1 as the daily?

    Welcome, and nice colour choice! I too recently purchased a gen1 and although not as stock or clean as yours, I love it. It is also my one and only ride and has been super reliable mechanically and with how often I need to refuel it! I too looked up all the years of raptors, and initially the...

    What could be bad? Wheel influenced by minor rocks and bumps while offroad

    Check wheel bearing play. If you lift the truck off the floor, grab the tyre and shake it by hand. side to side and holding top and bottom shaking again. There should be no play at all. From what I read, and understand about the condition you’re describing. Tyres out of balance could also be...

    Lead Frame Recall 06-14-2024

    Can’t do the update without wiping the SC tune. Need to get with your tuner or supercharger company. Well you can but the update wipes the SC tune. That’s why no one wants to touch them. Without the tune the SC could blow the engine.

    Az Newbie-2012 always something build

    That’s a fantastic price, honestly the only bummer is lack of AUX panel. The rest is actually preferred spec imo. Personally, I would trade the moonroof, Sony, leather, and sync for 12k! Sounds like this is the perfect project truck and your using it properly, continue to enjoy and post up some...
