So I’ve been ignoring the wheel noise and chopping it up to just the new tires.

Spent some time today, added 2 bottles of seafoam to 1/4 tank, sprayed a can into the intake, and cleaned MAF sensor. Idle is pretty smooth, every 20-30 seconds, you’ll feel a slight shake. Reading through the forums this seems to be normal. Also some slight ticking when idling, also seems to be normal and just injector noise.

Finally got around to reading codes, only have 2 for my TPMS.

B1182-00
B124D-02

Tires and wheels are brand new, wheels are actually the 17s off Gen 2 raptor. So I assumed they may have just never reset it. Pressed the hazards 3 times, got into the learn mode. No go on any tire with the tool or letting air out.

Possible the entire system is busted or would a tire shop be able to reset it?

I'm not a fan of the orange stuff. Apparently its a similar blend of what GM used on their trucks that would cause sludge over time. I only know because Land Rover used an old GM block for ages and thats what they used as well. Google dex cool sludge for more info.

Plugs are worth doing as a preventive measure, but not required if you don't have any misses at this time.

Quick question, I noticed the differential oil you recommend has the friction modifier. Is this needed? Is it going to cause damage?

I ended up putting in the royal purple and then saw a post that it could stop the locking diff from working properly.

I have that stuff in my Jeep and my Raptor. I would trust it no questions asked. I wouldn't worry about specific formulations. It would be another issue all together if you had added the Ford Friction modifier. I've never seen anything saying it would stop the locker from working. I have air lockers in the Jeep and obviously we all have the e-locker in the Raptor.
