2011 Raptor 300k issues

[The Car Stereo Company]

I can't speak about any raptor after 2010, but I disconnect my battery lots because it just sits lately, I throw the battery cable back on and fire it up and let it run, never reset anything yet. Interesting learning about the newer ones though, everything is getting more complicated.

i didnt know the older trucks had a bms. i know they have one that shuts down the truck if the radio or lights are on too long, but nothing to actually monitor the battery as in depth as what we are finding out. and like you, have never reset anything. this is all new to me. i have never heard of this. hoping we get more info

Or use forscan, or go to your local autozone,advance,oriellys, they can all reset it, as long as your buying a battery from them.

thanks. so the article is the same as i read. after the battery change, leave the vehicle off for 8 hours to reset the bms. is that what im reading?

Ok guys yes after the battery was changed out it had to sit for 8 hours anyway till they could put a new alternator on it..Everything is charging and working beautiful..BUT now we have a leak in the radiator..guess this is what happens after 300k miles

radiators are fun. have changed mine out 3 times now. not hard, but a bit time consuming. there was a thread with a video of mishimoto radiator installation process. it did not work for me. i couldnt get the old one out. so i pulled the headlights and the front brace to get more room
