What did u do to your raptor today?

[Wilson]

Could be lack of sleep or pain meds that are making me over think this or under think it.
How would a fuel leak or removal of fuel affect the mpg's? I would imagine the "miles to e" and the fuel needle itself but not mpg. when I'm on E I still get 13mpg.
I just got a headache.

it's all calculated to gather the miles to empty and E how much fuel is left. unless there is a flow meter wich I bought.

Drove it on the 24 mile long Rattler in NC. While staying at this cabin.

Not sure why this has plummeted..

Well by looking at the picture, engine is running and you are not moving. MPG is plummeting because you are idling too much, that will kill your MPG readings.

Pretty much had everything done and installed last Thursday. Huge thanks to @Kmandoske of LVJ Motorsports as his work is top notch and he is easy to get ahold of should you have any questions. His detail to the entire setup, labelling and wiring protection was amazing and made everything very straight forward to do. I also have to say thank you to @scarrjack for his pictures and write up with his install of his overhead switch panel that Keith also made, also helped me, especially with cutting into the headliner. Today I finished it off by adding the extra speaker (thanks to @TheJoker for the idea and pictures). Only thing that I might still do is add a speaker mesh screen so sound goes through it easier but I will try it with the kick panel as is for the time being and see how it works first.

Thanks @Zeke555, I really like how mine turned out. Like you know, I also wired my factory center channel speaker into my external speaker. The result was amazing, the sound is clear and loud enough to hear over music playing, or others talking in the cab. You should consider this as well, it basically cost nothing and takes very little time to do.

im curious how these will work out too. The problem i see with basically sleeving the axle to the hub is first off, gas mileage will suffer. And depending on how much you drive, the front driveshaft is spinning all the time. While this may not seem like a big deal, the fleet i work at has a lot of dodge trucks that use a similar system. The front diff & driveline are always engaged and shifting to 4wd is done at the transfer case alone. We had one front driveline come apart at the u joint while driving down the highway and it was ugly. It totaled the truck! And the dodge (ram) front driveshaft u joint has a needle grease zerk, raptors dont. And few of us mechanics even knew about it. In fairness, we only had 1 come apart, but you can bet they had a campaign to get them all inspected & greased.

It may not be an issue at all, the u joint may hold up fine. But no doubt your gas mileage will drop. Please post a follow up when you have run these for a while. I would personally rather see a better, stronger version of the iwe made. I seem to recall one of the vendors that post here was working on a better iwe. Any word on that ?

There is a thread about it.
