    Alright, talk me into it…

    I am in the exact same boat, but with my 2014 Gen 1. Shocks are wearing, truck is near paid off (bought in 2017), and at nearly 80k miles. Have a dealer willing to do MSRP on a 37 edition...but who knows when it would show up thats the concern I have. You get a decent trade value now, but...

    Ticking at idle

    My GT350 has an exhaust rattle with its active exhaust if the temperature is below 50 degrees. Goes away if I open the valves or the exhaust heats up. My wife's ecoboost explorer also have a slight rattle upon startup. Goes away pretty quickly. Random find though, her car had another...

    New OEM suspension parts-Which ones to replace?

    Make sure they actually have all of that in stock before you're confident the work will be done. I've heard backorders on the shocks several times.

    GEN 1 Any 1/18th scale Gen 1 Raptor models?

    I have a Mattel 1:24 scale raptor, but my daughter loved it so much, she abuses it in the sandbox. At least its doing raptor like things.

    Do Gen 1's fit in car washes?

    Most of the automatic ones around me will not fit it. Furthermore, with the high pressure water, i'm concerned if it will damage the matte vinyl on the truck. Best to do the manual ones or wash it at home.

    Not detecting trailer

    I had the same problem. Everything worked great, except for the fact the truck never saw the trailer as connected

    GEN 1 ESP expires this month May

    As was mentioned above, there is room to negoitate the ESP. Don't think for a second that that is the fixed cost. Personally, I plan to extend my ESP when it expires. Truck just puked a second heater core after having it replaced just last year. I find a lot of relief in going "meh...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Speaking of the rear window trim, does anyone know if you can replace just that trim? Mine was damaged when I bought the truck and have always wanted to replace it if possible.

    Forged Offroad Silicone IWE Lines

    I can't seem to get clarity on how the silicone is THAT much better than the factory vinyl

    GEN 1 Engine runs too cold?

    The thermostats that they put in these trucks are junk, I've had one expire every 30k miles. I'd buy a new thermostat and gasket, swap them and try again. It sounds like the one you have is stuck open.

    Would a Gen 3 V8 kill Gen 1 resale?

    I guess if thats your cup of tea. Raptor sees the snow....the cammed camaro sits under a car cover all winter :)

    Would a Gen 3 V8 kill Gen 1 resale?

    All of your comments apply, if you live in a climate where calcium chloride and brine are NOT used. For those of us in the north, you fight not only mechanical wear and degradation, but also chemical warfare on your frame and body, which can eventually ruin even the best cared for vehicle.

    Would a Gen 3 V8 kill Gen 1 resale?

    I often think the same thing, but then think, why would I want 2 of the same vehicle. Gotta mix it up. Wear the Gen 1 out, say you had your fun, move on :)

    Erratic Cooling

    I had the chance this weekend to replace the thermostat. I saw people on other F150 forums say that changing a thermostat was like a 35 minute job. I wanna know how rapidly they are moving, because on my first try to replace this, it took me dang near 3 hours with the first air purge. I found...

    I agree, that would be a thermostat at 30k miles and now at nearly 60k miles.

    Erratic Cooling

    I think thats what I'm going to do. Did you just remove the hose downstream and just lost some coolant onto the the floor? You didn't drain the entire radiator, right?

    Erratic Cooling

    I gave that a try. Used an extremely steep driveway, sat there with the heat on for 10 minutes....no avail. Still doing the same thing.

    Erratic Cooling

    Its interesting that you mention that, I had found a few other F150 forums mentioning the same thing. I will see what I can find.

    Erratic Cooling

    Just noticed this in the last couple days. Its about 30-40F outside. Truck will heat up normally, but when I start coasting anywhere, the temp gauge will start going back toward 'cold'. On typical coasting, it will come back enough to uncover the temp symbol. On a big hill, it will come back...
