Truck is at 110,000 miles now so I did a full 100k maintenance over the weekend including:
- Front diff flush
- Rear diff flush
- Transfer case flush
- Coolant flush
- Oil change
- All spark plugs
- Tire rotation

When I say flush I really mean a drain and refill.

Before I bought it it was a one owner who had all maintenance done at the dealer. Came with all the receipts. As far as I can tell this is the first time any of these items have been done (except for the oil and tire rotations obviously).

After reading some posts on here I was a little worried about the spark plugs but I honestly didn't have a single issue with getting them out, including the one behind the passenger shock. I almost found the bottom ones easier than the top because at least I didn't have to balance on a ladder the whole time.

Had to go out and buy some wood because my floor jack and jack stands were just not tall enough for the tire rotation.

Ruby Red Scabs are the epitome of first gen Raptors. Gorgeous truck!

This past weekend I got sync 3 installed. Best upgrade for a daily driver in my opinion.
Love the apple carplay.

Ooooh man first run of Orange Scabs too. I don't like them as much as ruby red but I think they're just as iconic!

You're biased.

You're biased.

Possibly

The og orange is sweet though

Molten Orange was the color Ford did all there limited advertising on the Raptor when they first came out. It was available for only the first two years of production which really makes it epitome by definition. Ruby red is nice, but it first came out in 1939 on Dorothy's slippers in the Wizard of Oz.

Well my A/C compressor (clutch?) went out today. When I turned it on this morning and it didn't sound right. I stopped twice running errands and both times it sounded rough on start up but I wasnt sure where it was coming from. Finally got home and it was still making the noise and decided screw it I'm gonna take it into the shop. Get to the shop and of course when I try to show the technician the sound it didn't make it... but he said he definitely heard the scraping noise associated with that issue.

Hopefully its just the clutch and not the whole compressor. I don't know what the difference in cost is.

Clutch (only) means removing the belt then 20min to R&R a $50 clutch. A brand new oem compressor is around $400, but at the same time you might also replace the $150 condenser, 2 hoses ($80), then recharge the R134.

The labor to R&R a compressor is a lot. It's behind and below everything, hard to reach the hose fittings, and 1 of the 3 bolts that secure it has to be fed in before you mount it because you run into the crossmember.
