    Gen 1 cv axel broken

    It’s a 2011, it’s time, the iwe’s are not that expensive. Unless you are planing on dumping the truck, while you’re in there, replace them! (Especially if you live in a rainy environment) Consider the ball joints too. It’s a giant pain in the a$$ when your IWE fails during winter, when it’s...

    Raptor R - I want one, but when should I buy one?

    Bought a 2012. Still have it and as you can imagine it’s getting a bit worn. After the arrival of the eco boost I waited, and waited, and waited some more. Picked up a 23 R, no sun roof this time! I wasn’t sure about it at first. There is a lot about it I don’t like, all the clicking though...

    How touchy is Ford warranty and oil type?

    Are you saying Mobil 1 ESP 5W-50 Full Synthetic Super Car Motor Oil is not to spec for the R?

    Do Better Ford

    1998 f250 SD, still driving it over 100k miles, other than the crap exhaust manifold bolts that snap off it’s been a good truck. 2012 svt screw raptor that I bolted a Whipple on to, still driving, 92k miles, had to replace the integrated wheel ends, no other issues that I didn’t cause. 23 R 7k...

    Moving a large boat

    Towed a 2802 bayliner on a triple axel galv trailer for years w a blown gen 1. Not pretty till adjusting boat position, i.e. toungue weight but it towed like a champ. Performed way better than my old 99 f250 w v10 in regard to power and breaking. Rear springs are not ideal but it works just...

    Would You Buy a 2024 Raptor Without Sunroof?

    Have a gen1 with a sun roof, that leaks. Took a long while to find a 23 R without a sun roof but I found it. So yes, I would and have ordered one without. Don’t think I’ll ever order one w/ a sun roof ever again. That said we get a couple 13-15 feet of rain annually.

    BFG K02s Mileage

    ~50 k on the OEM 5 tire set, rotating every 7-10k. 80% blacktop, 20% shot rock roads, blown 6.2 with mostly reasonable driving. They were not on the wearbars but smoked for winter/ snow driving. Lost function in my IWE’s about the same time, no fun.

    Whipple Installed - Couple minor issues

    Embrace the surge, comes with the package. No clue on your clank. You can flop over to manual shift to avoid the bone crushing up/down shifts.

    Shake, shutter and rock and roll

    opening the rear slider helps a bunch.

    Gen 1 running board covering unpeeling?

    What grit? 60 or lower. I bought 2 new but held onto the old ones thinking I’d refinish. The top is thick. Looks like a pain to strip.

    2012

    I’d recommend you do a search on here of independent wheel ends, IDE. Get your Google on, watch a little YouTube on ire’s. I’ve same vintage, similar drivability issues, it appears to be a pretty common thing with Fords. My particular issue was moisture getting into the tubes, gravity taking...

    GEN 1 Daily Driving with Supercharger

    2012, whipple, daily driver since new, blower went on ~4 months after purchase. When driven apples to apples, on road, in a legal fashion I don’t think the fuel consumption is significantly different pre/post forced induction. If you drive it like you stole it, yes it burns significantly more...

    My gen3 vs trx comparison

    I checked it a couple times in the few months before and years post whipple. It always seems to be pretty close, within tenths of a mile kind of close. I’d assumed the bigger injectors were unaccounted for in the math and and figured if I were towing long distances or spent longer times under...

    My gen3 vs trx comparison

    Not same same but in a gen1 blown 6.2 pushing a smidge over 12 psi I’ve similar numbers. Closer to the gen 2 six banger than the dodge. After the addition of the whipple I can’t even imagine going back, even if the 6 is twin turbo. Waiting impatiently for the R.

    Ticking or clicking noise on hard accelerations

    What you’re describing sounds exactly like what my boosted gen 1 does with 89 octane under hard acceleration and is pre detonating…..

    Drone free, really?

    Ditto on what KOBRA2848 said. Corsa Extreme, I.e. no resonator. No drone. Sharp brap on cold start, quiet when you want it to be quiet, nothing but blower wine and good sounds when you want it loud. Beautiful stainless, quality product.

    Forced Induction with Frame Cut Bumper

    This may help with what to expect.

    TheStraightPipes review released today.

    Hard to beat a gen1 screw, 6.2, with a whipple, that’s paid off.

    Puddle of water on my driver side floor mat

    it drips out the bottom section of the passenger side grab bar is why it’s hard to find.

    Why 8,200 lbs tow?

    this is not entirely true, trailer tow does not increase with truck length. fords ratings do not support that argument.

    Ford Gen3 Raptor and it's future- R's in greater #'s?

    What trigger fish said! There’s a z06 in my garage because of the Sh%# show roll out of the new GT 350 back in the day. People will leave.
