What did u do to your raptor today?

Hoping I fixed that darn rear brake squeal. Had the lower right pin stuck and the upper left pin stuck as well. Used my shotgun cleaning kit, wired wheel, and a few choice words to get it cleaned up. I’ll probably buy new caliper brackets if it still squeals during low speed braking. Nothing says look at me like brake squeal rolling to a stop sign or traffic light!

Yeah that’s annoying. Mine only does it when in reverse after its been sitting awhile after that theyre fine. May be just the crap off the road and cold hopefully lol

I really did not find it on my own. The repair kit was in the center console when I bought it so I figured I would investigate and found that. It was not bad actually just pulled the cut wire out of the fuse box so I would have more room to solder and shrink wrap. otherwise not to bad.

Guess i did it the hard way

I just hope that the last thing to do for a little while, I have been changing things on this truck every week since i got it to get it where I want it. bumpers, painting, exhaust, springs rustproofing for winter, etc.

Yeah i hear ya. Ive had mine about a month now and am in that process, im not going to far past stock. Devers and the tod tcase(pending its compatible) is probably going to be the biggest thing i do. Most other things i do are just maintenance upgrades like shocks, power steering, lighting, bed racks for gear and If im lucky sync 3 lol. I really like the factory look of the gen 1. Dont get me wrong these bumpers etc look great too lol

 

[roush_14]

i like the factory look also, that is why i took off aftermarket stuff and went back to stock. All the lights, bumper and winch are off.

Nice. Did you have any "clunking" in the front end? If so, did it quiet it down? I want to do this to mine. Just need to find something to tighten it with.

There was some vibration, too much play, with truck on ground with assistant (oldest daughter) cycling wheel through it's play side to side with the driver's side inner tie rod boot pulled back, you could see all the play was in the rack... All gone now, smooth as butter...

I kind of meant the axle nut, but your solution sounds more interesting, lol.

LOL....I didn't pick up on that because the nut wasn't an issue. The cap just came off....
