What did u do to your raptor today?

[CoronaRaptor]

Well @CoronaRaptor guess im not getting the rad hoses on myself, i tried. Maybe ill see if i can use a lift or just pay them $80 to do it lol.

You should be able to do the top one yourself, no? I've never done them, is there something special about the top one? Or did you try the bottom one and give up? Don't worry, we won't make fun of you, just need more info, might help the rest of us if we need to do this.

Found this video, it looks depressing to do at home, lol It's not for the Raptor, but same concept I think.

Yeah the top one is not problem, i was having trouble with trying to figure out how to get at the rear part of the lower hose. Oh and I wouldn’t care of y’all do make fun of me im good natured and can take it lol. I just cant find any instructions or videos that help.

The lower front is a quick connector so thats not the same. Ill do more research and will conquer this !! Lol

Sad that the days of simple automotive repairs are gone like radiators with one hose in and one hose out and simple clamps.

It looks like the same procedure or am i seeing things? Yours has a tab that is up, that should be down, doesn't it and yours twists off too? I'm asking here, not telling fyi, lol. On a side note : If I had to guess here: Ford has that quick connection between the 2 sections to help stop the rubber hose from heat shrinking onto the radiator. Should we ask Fordtech to help on this? It's your call, lol. I know I would of already, ha ha.

“Good natured” goes a long ways when attempting “New to you” PITA projects. I could use a little extra from time to time ha !

I really dont know. If its supposed to be down (old pic) that could’ve been the reason it’s leaking hmm. The level has been good for a few weeks now so maybe it seated itself. If my driveway wasnt all crappy right now id go check lol.

Installed the sync 3 upgrade...what a difference! Got the complete kit with Nav from Carlos on Facebook. Ordered on Saturday received on Thursday from coast to coast. Super easy instal...hardest part was taking off the trim panels and everything works flawlessly, although I haven’t tried the front camera yet. Im super pumped to have Apple CarPlay back because I drive a lot for work.

Finished the interior mods with led's for the dome lights and ambient lights.
Next to install the Stifflers long bars to kill the wheelhop. Then washed and gave it some love. Yes, they are 22's put on by the previous owner so they stay for now.
