And 8th transmission and 4th motor?

Well, simple math would suggest that, if Mr. Car Stereo Company off roads his truck a fair amount, combined with lots of high mileage, that his shocks would need rebuilt roughly every 25k miles, maybe even sooner depending on how intense of off-roading he's doing. Say his truck has 250,000 miles on it, with shocks getting rebuilt every 25k miles.....that would be 10 total rebuilds. So this hypothetical scenario would then indicate, that he very well could be on his 7th rebuild, and have never replaced the motor or trans.

And yes, if your truck is a daily, or your only vehicle, definitely would be beneficial to keep them, or if you simply don't care, there is a market for them for sure!

Do these trucks last long enough for 3 sets of shocks? I don't think so.....

The Gen 2 engine life won't require that many sets. Gen 1s will be fine at 250K+.

Too bad the aluminum body Raptors have such unreliable engines.

Hopefully the Gen4 Raptors deliver a reliable V8 to the masses.

7.3L FTW. Let's go Ford. Pull your heads out of your ass. There is money waiting to buy them.

7.3L makes the front end vehicle dynamics suck. way too heavy.

How do we get an LS3 option with a t56 manual?

Ford already has a v8 option available right now. It’s put up or shut up time, whiners.

4th motor and 3rd trans. my shocks usually last 6months to a year.

Dude you know the last time someone called him “Mr.” In here? He won’t know how to respond to that type of kindness! He’s probably read that and is still passed out on the floor I’m sure when he wakes he will respond in like kindness.
