What did u do to your raptor today?

[Gryphon313]

Replaced all of the vacuum lines from the IWE’s back to the solenoid on the cowl. The SVC Smurf bumper sure made that way easier than if the stock bumper was still in place.

I did mine yesterday. My other truck is my daily driver, and when it started making that horrible grinding noise from a cut vacuum line, I removed the Raptor lines and zip tied them to the old lines. It took the USPS a week to deliver the new lines because of course.

Did you guys go with factory replacement lines or is there a recommended upgrade available?

Oh hey! I know you from ExPo. I went with Ford parts. Found it on Amazon. Was ~$50.00

These guys have been killing me lately.

This guy. Apparently, there is one version that fits regular F150 models as well as the Raptor version. I had to cut about 2" of rubber hose off of the original Raptor set that I swapped onto my 2012 ecoboost.

For the price and ease of replacement, it's hard to beat. The only problem is nobody seems to have them on the shelf, so an emergency repair kit would be useful, but I haven't found a repair kit with the specific size tubing, fittings, etc. For now, I'm just going to use split loom electric tubing to prevent chafing.

Forged off road has the silicone kit. Pricey lol but may last longer? https://forged-offroad.com/product/2010-2014-ford-raptor-silicone-iwe-replacement-forged-offroad/

One and the same.

I've seen the Forged Offroad one that @Gen1TillDeath mentioned. I'm still working on my mod list before I move again. Radiator, Plugs, Sync 3, Rear leafs...

Dude I'm terrible with money. Before I left on deployment I put a deposit down on an icon stage 4. Only reason I backed out is that I got no reassurance that all the parts would come in before I am set to move here soon.

Just means you gotta 4-Link it when you settle in. Thems the rules
