Hey, im new here. And have a few questions about my raptor I've recently purchased. It is a 2014 screw, terrain, truck has had quite a few mods done at some point. I bought it from a dealer who had no info about it at all. I know it's been in Texas most of its life, but from what I can tell, it's got a whipple, 3.25 pulley, (thinking about putting a 3.50 back on it) American racing 1 7/8 headers, corsa extreme exhaust the rest of the way, ATI fluid damper, some ADD bumpers (I didn't like them at first but they are growing on me) and now for the mods I don't like and will probably change, it's got a mid perch. And a little lift block think above the front coils, going to remove that. Some black rhino wheels, they are 20's. And tow mirrors lol.
But anyways, who should I go with for a tune? I've got no tuner or nothing and would like to get one just to know it'll be safe, jdm seems good right? Also does anyone know where to get some oem power fold mirrors? Thanks everyone. I've done some very extensive research before buying this one. And so far couldn't be happier. Also, does anyone recognize this truck? I'd like to get some history on it if possible. Thanks!

Can vouch for JDM. Can’t go wrong there. I bought my roush preowned and changed all the fluid immediately.

Welcome to FRF! Nice Gen Juan.

Oem mirrors might be on ebay, minus the body color cap. 09-14 mirrors all plug up

I'm pretty sure it has to have a tune to accept the s/c. Just dont know what it is

Welcome to FRF and happy new Raptor day.

Definitely start looking for bumper and wheels. What size are the tires? It might just be a front end leveling kit. With that much work done, truck might already be tuned.

The tires are 285-65-20. I definitely want to put a 17 or possibly 18 on it back with some 315's. And it has a mid perch. And those little spacer things that bolt between the top of the coil and the coil bucket. I am more then likely going to remove the little coil spacer first and leave the mid perch since it is popular and see how I like that. (With a alignment of course) and down the road get some of those aftermarket coils and go to low perch, and im not quite sure how I feel about the bumpers yet. I seen the truck countless times while looking and never thought to look at it. Because the pictures the dealer had was so bad. But in person it's actually not too bad, obviously the little squat going on mixed with the tow mirrors and 20's don't help. But the bumpers are growing on me. I think it may be tuned. I asked jdm but they said they don't keep vin records. Kinda surprising to me. But without a owners name I can't find out and I literally have zero prior owner history.
I've been looking at mirrors but it seems like to get some oem power folding ones. I'll have to get them from different people but that's ok. I can have caps painted terrain or maybe even vinyl wrapped in the terrain to look right. Thank you guys so much for the awesome replies. And not hating on the truck like others. Definitely not my cup of tea currently but I've only had it a little under a month. And have been extremely busy. I absolutely love the terrain color though! I catch myself just looking at it for a while sometimes. And imaging how good it's going to look with a few things changed!

Welcome..!!
I have the 2014 with the Whipple....all done at the Shelby Factory......its got 70K on it now and still grin from ear to ear every time I hit the gas and hear the whine of the Whipple......your gonna love it...!!!
I have not changed anything from the Shelby factory......so not much help there....only thing I've heard is oil pump failure....but think you have to hit it hard a lot...and make sure Fuse 27 fix was done....
Enjoy it...I have mine and best truck ever..!
