Is it all in the wrist?
I'd say about 60% wrist, 20% arm, 18% hand, and 2% lower back and hips. It takes many years of constant practice to become a true professional.

WHen the gen 3 comes out, you can swap the steering rack in that one, should solve all problems since 37's will be the new norm from FORD!
I was being facetious, the whole electronic steering worries me for an offroad truck, another reason to keep my Gen 1. Maybe the Raptor R will have mechanical steering again.last time I checked, there were 3 different, concurrent part numbers just for 2018 raptor steering racks.
When you swap an incompatible part into the truck, it will let you steer, but the modes don't work and the dash lights up like a Christmas tree, even after initialization/programming.
I highly doubt that a gen3 rack will work.
yes, I have damaged a steering rack and had to replace it. yes, it was my fault.
This guy is a con artist. He modified his truck, beats the living hell out of it, and then wants his issues covered under factory warranty? He even admits that when he brings it to the dealer, he swaps back to to factory tire size so they don’t know he’s running oversize tires. He’s blatantly commits warranty fraud and films it. I hope he not only loses in court, but ends up with a stack of legal bills. Idiots like this guy are what drives up the cost of vehicles for the rest of us.
Yeah, the whole premise is stupid. Dude is mad he can no longer game the system. Boohoo, I'll make a video about it and show how dishonest I am to the entire world.To play devil's advocate, Ford has changed out nearly every hard component in the steering rack for him (some parts multiple times) and the issue still exists, FWIW I think he may be onto something that it's a computer issue that's reading small steering angle deflections and over boosting the steering wheel. For that and that reason alone I think he has a case and it is at least worth the cost to reflash or figure out what's going on w/ the electronic side of the steering rack. I cede my time to @FordTechOne if that's even an option or remotely possible. I just think it's strange that issue isn't more prevalent with similarly modified trucks (eibachs and 37's being very common mods).
The flip side is that this IS NOT LEMON LAW nor should it EVER be covered under warranty. His attempts to go back to stock and to get Ford to foot the bill for $1000s worth of hard components and labor is disingenuous at best and fraudulent at worst. Documenting it on the internet is also a smooth brain move. If I were him and you really wanted the issue resolved you have to level with the shop doing the work and be prepared to foot the bill. Simply passing the buck (literally and figuratively) impacts all of us, creates more stress on the already limited availability of parts and forces Ford to pass those costs to you and me.
I've tuned my truck. You know what that means? If a piston goes through my hood I'm buying a new block, I'm paying for the labor to fix it, or I'm buying a Coyote crate engine and converting it AT MY OWN COST because that's the responsibility you take when you modify out of spec. It's disappointing that a creator with as much online persona as KIDOR/Helio has cannot take responsibility for his modifications and seems determined to take Ford down to cover his mistakes.
