What did u do to your raptor today?

[bruiser]

and how did you manage this?

Honestly no idea, I was just driving to work, ran fine, no signs of any issues, then pulled away from a stop sign and boom, big shudder, coasted into a gas station, started it up and sounded like rocks so killed it as fast as I could and towed it home. But apparently its fairly common to break valve springs so idk, hoping for the best when I pull the head.

hope its not a common problem. the way i beat on my truck the last thing i want is a dropped valve. i just had catastrophic failure on my quad motor rebuild. dropped a valve and toasted the head, piston, and all sorts of fun stuff. rebuilt it and blew it again..... can only imagine if i have to rebuild my truck engine. haha. dont let a car audio installer rebuild your enging i guess......

I didnt think it was but when looking up possible cause of my issue I seemed to find quite a few broken valve spring threads. Granted im not easy on my truck and I just turned 115k miles on it yesterday.

Hoping to have it fixed this coming week just placed a order with rock auto, and now I'm looking at oil pump gears since I have to get in there anyway

Got the custom Evil MFG Hellion bumper powdercoated and mounted up. Still have some adjustments to make but I love it. Also need to get the BD Squadrons wired up that mount to it

You also added some Gen 2 exterior parts.

Explored the Giant Rock area in Landers CA. Also drove past the Integatron. Day Trippin’ in the desert.

Getting the two extra air filters setup for winter.
I do this early so the oil weeps through out the entire filter and gets tacky, usually takes about a week.
Throwing it in right away only creates a problem if you have to drive in the rain right away,
this leads to the oil possible contaminating the mass air flow sensor.

I just got a pre-filter because I'm gonna head back out to the desert next weekend.
