What did u do to your raptor today?

Do you think you will reuse the stock trans line fittings given their getting to be prone to breaking? I saw “Fordtechmakuloco “ video he did recently about them and it’s made me want get some “T bolt clamps” and snip the stock ends off.

Everything from the trans is being replaced or rebuilt. New oem cooler lines, & those cheesy plastic line clips, a mishimoto cooler, the trans mount, and a rebuilt 6r80.

When I looked at the fittings it occurred to me that if anything broke offroad (and you stopped in time), a sharp knife, hose clamps, and some tubing would fix it. So that will be included in the gear box.

Provided you caught it in time and didn't torch the Trans due to low/no line pressure

In that case I'd set the f#cker on fire and report it stolen (allegedly).

Lower radiator hose is off. Tough job... the access was tight. I had to remove the exhaust manifold heat shield (2) 5/16" bolts before I could get a vise grip on the hose clamp on the motor side of the hose. Good Times!

I remember I was flying in a Seahawk and we started getting some pot shots and I asked where they were coming from... the other guy in the bird replied "probably from below us"

******* thanks bro.

I was in a c-130 from Kuwait, into Iraq. All of the sudden the plane starts making maneuvers like the pilot is having a seizure… then the sky lights up from counter measures… ******* has never been the same from that pucker… nothing like riding on a floating roller coaster with zero control of your death

I thought about replacing this hose with my coolant drain… I guess I’ll think harder now lol

I added a 12V connector in the wheel well to power a tire inflator. I got tired of people stopping and asking if I was okay with my hood open so I could attach the Viair directly to the battery. I was concerned it would get dirty/dusty, but I tested it out in one of the muddiest areas I've been yesterday and that area stayed plenty clean.



Also did a couple hours of off-roading yesterday with the truck loaded down with around 1000lbs in the bed and 5 adults in the cab. It was the first heavier trip I've done since installing the rear bump stops and they definitely put in some work. I still need to fine tune the PSI(if anyone has any recommendations, on that let me know!).
