What did u do to your raptor today?

New AC compressor & Rebuilt torque converter are back on. The trans jack was seizing up and wouldn't lift the 6r80 & converter. So I hung the converter first (new nuts at 30ft/lbs), and it turns out the cordless impact just needed the bigger battery to spin the height adjuster and lift everything. So a Happy Ending.

How did you verify the converter fully engaged into the front pump? If the converter isn’t fully seated you’ll tear up both the converter and pump.

Got the touchup paint in and tackling a few little chips, also that odd bubble on the cab corner. It looks way bigger in the pic lol. Kinda confused on how it happened but its solid so i guess thats a win lol

I would take that over it being rotted out any day. BTW, what method are you using to address the rock chips? I recently starting applying a generous amount of paint around the chip, and dragging the paint over the chip with a credit card. Man, it works AWESOME. I can’t even tell where the chip was after a couple of coats. I have to mark the area with painters tape so that I can find the chip when I go back to apply the clear

Just cover the place a couple coats and wait till its dry then do a light wet sand and buff. Takes awhile and come out decent. Gonna have to try your way though

Coolant “flush” and swap.


That dye in the orange coolant is strong!

Drove up to @Gumby ‘s and replaced all four shocks with my original shocks I had rebuilt. Had them done in less than three hours and enjoyed the company! @Bozz did an excellent job supervising, LOL! Rides like new again. It was a great meet up (aka man date) but I now need a shower as I got pretty dirty there, Haha.

Enjoyed it! Total elapsed working time was probably closer to 90 minutes. Did my Fuse 27 after you left. Had the kit riding around in my Raptor for the past 30 months. Well..... @Gumby did it in about 15 minutes. Since he did @mwaite09 Fuse 27 a few days ago, it was still fresh in his mind box. Thanks, Dude!
