That's a gen 2 melted, this is a Gen 1 thread, fyi.

Ordered the Sync3 upgrade for my 2013. Hoping it helps lift the feel of the interior out of the stone ages. It'll be nice to have functional bluetooth alongside CarPlay and Android Auto.

I upgraded my 2014 this past winter, it made a huge difference to modernizing the interior and it was pretty easy to install. That mod, along with the leather console cover, made it feel new. The blue background on all of the sync features also matches nicely with my blue trim, so it looks like it was meant to be.

I was used to Android Auto in my '19 Lariat and as much as I told myself I didn't need to upgrade the Raptor to have AA, that lasted all of 6 months LOL.

Short-term update on the RCV IWE eliminators. 400-500 mile road trip, zero issues on the interstate going 80. Slightly (and I mean like slightly) more steering effort, a little diff whine from the Torsen up front only noticeable at low speed when coasting (none at any other speed), 0.1mpg less (14.4 vs 14.5), instant 2/4wd engagement/disengagement. I was on the fence after initial install but Torsen's fine, CV's are fine, F those dam IWE's. I'll post them in the "Pay it Forward" thread, anybody need them or want a spare set? I pinched the vent tube on the driver's side, hence the 4wd engagement issue leading to the RCV's heh.

Interested in seeing some long term feed back. I was wondering about the Torsen and the axles being engaged.

Yeah same. So get to driving BenBB lol

Haha yeah just rolled over 192k, was hoping I could swap those valve springs before then, well before 191k when I tried the first time and broke the damn tool, and then go to TRR in May and Wyoming with @The Car Stereo Company in July/August, that'll rack up some miles if I can swing it...

Did you ever ask your dealer how much they would charge to replace your valve springs, or would they want to remove the heads?

I think this will be a good preventative measure for those over 200k, seems the valve springs break, shatter the valve and it drops through the piston, then the rod doesn’t go up, it goes sideways through the block!
