What is that sound?

Hi everyone, Since purchasing my 2014 Raptor SCREW almost a month ago, I've been chasing various sounds and rattles trying to resolve them. I took off the driver side door panel to fix the rattling lock mechanism, that was pretty quick and easy. I've also adjusted my shocks (King 3.0's) to...

Holy that sounds all too familiar! I'm going to have to look into this since I have an AFE CAI as well, may just end up replacing it.

I used carb cleaner on my 98 to clean it up many times, I even took a dremel to the inside and bored it out, then polished the butterfly

Think I will just stick to carb cleaner, lol.

Cleaned the throttle body and starting on the engine.

How difficult is it to remove that panel on the passangers side next to the navigation? The one with the vent. I need to replace mine.

You have to pull the center console (easier than it sounds).

-Directly under navigation bezel is a small trim piece that pulls right out.

-kick plate on passenger and driver side covers a bolt (8mm)

-then move seats forward, bolt either side of console in rear (8mm)

- put truck in neutral and lift up trim around gear shift. 3 wire clips underneath

-2 wire clips on passenger side behind kickplate you removed earlier (have to do these after shifter bezel otherwise you can't shift).

-There will be 2 more bolts at front top of center console after removing shifter bezel. (8mm)

-Slide center console back, bolt at bottom of trim next to nav. (7mm I believe)

-Disconnect battery and drop glove box, wait 30 minutes

-3 bolts (believe 8mm) holding airbag in directly above glovebox

-pull passenger airbag cover, copper screw holding in trim in top left (believe 7mm)

Now you can pull out the piece you're talking about.

(Edited because I accidentally read driver side first)

All of that for that one piece?!?!?

Yep, just because of the one bolt thats hidden by the center console, and one hidden by the airbag cover

Yeah haha, finding a place to get it done here is the challenge, for some reason vicksburg and Jackson have nothing.

Nevermind, I'm a little slow, just ordered the repair kit

I did mine awhile back and it was pretty easy. If you can do your dash, you can do this!
