first day in the raptor and i have some questions

[Gsteve]

So far I'm having a blast. Just wondering a few things
- when going over cracks in the road , joints etc there is not one quick bump there is one followed by maybe 3 more ever decreasing bumps . These are very quick of course but feels odd. Is this the massive sidewalls of the tires?
- what air pressure is best
- can i shut off the seat belt buzzer

I'm sure ill have more later

seat buzzer?

 

[IronRakMike]

I'm going to assume he's talking about the noise the truck makes if you are not wearing your seat belt while driving?

 

[Gsteve]

seat belt alarm , yes

 

[The Car Stereo Company]

you could cut the speaker out thats in the guage cluster, but then you wont have any warning chimes. i wouldnt drive around without a seatbelt on though

 

[NickPic83]

In the manual there is a method to shut the alarm off.

Welcome, yes you can shut off the seat belt chime, if you do as each of this forum, you will find out how. 44 psi. Go mid perch, it's such a better ride.

- sometimes the suspension will feel like it is bouncing when going over many road joints in a row. It's more the springs than the tires.

- 44 psi is the recommended tire pressure for on road driving.

Look in the manual for the seat belts, it was a sequence of plugging and unplugging, i was able to do both while Yukon was getting gas one day

Not to hijack but I'm in the same boat, first full day in my Terrain is today, I'm wondering how much does the mid perch raise the front end in inches from low perch, and does it negatively affect the IWE?

Also, the truck came with nitrogen valve stem caps, are the tires really full of nitrogen from the factory?

Also I have beadlock wheels, does it come with the beadlock ring? My dealer couldn't even give me my owners manual because somebody took it. So I know they don't have a real good clue, are the rings something you have to buy later? Or are they functional on the stock beadlock wheel that I paid for ?

If the OP wants me to start a new thread instead of asking newbie questions here just say so and I'll jump off his thread!
