    Transmission Drive engagement when cold

    It’s hard to describe.. when putting it into D for the first time in a cold start (with your foot against the brake and after the truck idled down), it drops into D and engages firmly (no grinding or weird sounds other than the sound of the firm engagement into D and slightl lurch forward)...

    Transmission Drive engagement when cold

    Transmission fluid (and filter I assume)changed at the dealer approx 25k miles ago when previous owner owned it. I checked the fluid condition last night and it’s not bright red, it has a darker red tone when the fluid is put on a paper towel but it’s far from being dark red or black

    Transmission Drive engagement when cold

    14’ with 80k miles, no open recalls When starting up cold, say between 30-60 degrees, I will let the truck idle until it atleast idles down the rpms before shifting to reverse. Seems to shift fine into reverse, then when I go to select drive it sometimes has a firmer engagement that can be...

    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    I’m seeing that rock auto now wants around $450 for these shocks that were sub $400 earlier this year. Do they run discounts or has the price just increased permanently?

    Light bump Steer?

    Dig some digging around and talked with Shocks by Hammer. Says guys call in all the time with my same issue and every time it’s the work out shocks not keeping the tire in contact with the road/dirt and making the steering go soft because there not consistent contact with the road/dirt I knew...

    Light bump Steer?

    Bumping this back up. On a recent road trip where there was a winding hwy at 65mph where there were bridge transitions/expansion gaps and I could definitely wheel the steering wheel tension lighten up and move easily for a brief second. A little unnerving… Have the ford dealer (I bought an...

    Coil Spring Settling?

    Newer to me 14’ with 80k miles. Front driver fender measures at about 40” which from what I can research is normal. Passenger side is .5” lower. This side has a shock that is slowly leaking and does need to be replaced. I don’t believe the strut would make a difference in ride hide. Do I...

    Removal of front shocks?

    Do you remove/loosen the axle nut in the spindle? Or is there no concern of putting pressure/pulling on the axle?

    Removal of front shocks?

    Looking at buying new shocks and selling my current OEM fox shocks. From the videos and reading I’ve done I understand I need to: Remove UCA joint Remove tie rod end Loosen sway bar But where I get stuck is I’ve read a little bit of people disconnecting the IWE vacuum system. Also saw...

    Light bump Steer?

    Thanks for the info. They did bring me into the shop, shook the tire while I looked at the inner tie rod that I could see some movement in When hitting bumps or potholes on the highway or at speeds above 35mph, do you get much feedback (like light bump steer)? Light steering is one thing but I...

    Light bump Steer?

    Shop got it up on the stand and showed me that there is some movement in the inner tie rod joint/end. Outers seem to be fine. The shop suggested aftermarket for about $800 in parts (SVC, RPG) plus 2 hours install plus alignment. Or the factory replacement parts are super cheap. I plan to use...

    Light bump Steer?

    I talked with a local offroad shop that is somewhat familiar with 1st gen’s. They were thinking it may be a caster issue, which could make sense with the light steering feel I have been feeling at speed Taking it to them in a few days and they said they can check the alignment and inspect the...

    Light bump Steer?

    Thanks for the info. Yeah I doubted the true pressure was the issue. When you say 38/34-36, is that the e rated BFGs or the C rated? I did a quick once over of the front end components and no glaring issues. Grabbed the front tires and tried to shake them in and out and got little to no...

    Light bump Steer?

    Saw one post where a guy had similar tires pressure as I’m running and pumped them up to 52 psi (max of 65) and his light steering went away. But I have e rates tires May give that a try. Steering is not light at slow speed just at higher speeds, and then some bump steer when hitting potholes...

    Light bump Steer?

    I say light because I’ve been in soild axle vehicles like a wrangler that had bump steer and death wobble. When hitting a normal pothole at speed (say above 30mph) the steering wheel will feel like it softens up a bit and will turn one way or the other, maybe 1/16th-1/8th of a full rotation...

    Light bump Steer?

    I have a new to me 14’, everything is stock (I think shocks are somewhat newer or rebuilt). At higher speeds on highway/freeway I get some light bump steer when hitting bumps/holes in the road Similar issues when off-roading at speed as well. This is my first raptor but I’ve owned a lot of...

    Roush CAI - Better Filter?

    For anyone that’s also curious, I received this email from Roush when I emailed them: We do not sell a filter for this cold air intake that is dry. The only filters designed and tested for this year is the oiled filter.

    Ceramic vs PPF?

    For preventing rock chips / scratches from bushes while off-roading, which would you pick and why? I like the idea that ceramic coating would make the vehicle look good all the time but the PPF would be a much better protector This is on a 14’, paint is in good shape but has some light...

    Gen 1 as the daily?

    My truck came with the roush CAI. Wondering about a replacement filter, mine is still in good shape but not a huge fan of air filters that need to be oiled. Are you aware of any dry filters that fit the CAI?

    Roush CAI - Better Filter?

    I don’t mind buying a new Roush filter but not sure I should stick with an oiled filter if I’m going to be in dusty areas

    Roush CAI - Better Filter?

    Recently picked up a 14’ truck with a Roush CAI. Typically don’t install these on my vehicles because I’ve heard they don’t do a lot benefit and can result in additional partials getting into the intake/engine. Don’t know that I want to go back to stock but not against that. The current...

    Gen 1 as the daily?

    Haha yes the shine is STRONG! The detail company that does their cars used waaaat too much. Even whipped off the extra Currently doing research on a tire cleaner I can use in a regular basis because this truck will see dirt roads so the tires will get dusty quick
