What did u do to your raptor today?

[pcs]

my old cooler seen better days so decided to retire it.

I finally installed the Rpg drop shackles that were sitting around. It leveled out the truck nice and improved the ride quality. Figured I would post if anyone is on the fence like I was about getting them.

I used drops also but it didnt level mine out. Looks factory though.

Geisers on low/deavers +3 w/camburg drops.

Idk rides good either way lol

Took it on a 10 hour drive and it rewarded me with a mystery fluid. All I can think of is the topped off power steering fluid somehow made it down here.
Oil is fine and this doesn’t look red enough to be trans fluid.

Looks like very used ATF.... front pump seal maybe?

Trans was drained and filled about 5k miles ago. It almost matches what’s in my power steering reservoir. Slight pink and odorless.

There was a few times during the drive I had to push the pedal down further than I’d ever like to.

LV fluid looks dark after short use. cut and past from ford:
21138 AUTO TRANS - MERCON LV FLUID COLOR
SOME 2008-2010 VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FACTORY FILLED WITH MERCON LV FLUID (PART # XT-10-QLV), MAY EXHIBIT DARK COLORED TRANS FLUID THAT MAY LOOK BURNT IN APPEARANCE. THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS FLUID AND WILL NOT AFFECT TRANSMISSION FUNCTION OR DURABILITY. THE MERCON LV FLUID IS A DEEP RED COLOR, COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL MERCON V BRIGHT RED FLUID, AND THE COLOR NATURALLY DARKENS AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE. IN SOME CASES, THE FLUID MAY APPEAR TO HAVE A GREEN TINT DUE TO DYE USED TO CHECK FOR LEAKS AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. TRANS FLUID COLOR SHOULD NOT BE USED AS SOLE INDICATOR FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. REFER TO THE CORRECT VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR WORKSHOP MANUAL AND/OR MAINTENANCE GUIDE FOR DIAGNOSTICS, REPAIRS, AND/OR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.

Swapped out my old and clearly blown shocks to a better condition used set with Geisers. Now to send off these old things to be refreshed so I can play the swap game again.

I had already gotten my front windows + windshield tinted, but yesterday I finally got my back and rear windows tinted, completing my tint.

XPEL XR Black Nano Ceramic was what I picked.

Full windshield: 70%
Front windows: 35%
Rear windows: 5%
Back windows: 5%

The full windshield is barely noticeable, so no chances of getting a ticket. Plus, I can actually see at night (I have 50% on my Camaro and it is tough at times). The 35% in the front windows, combined with the factory windows, add up to 25%, so it meets the minimum legal requirement in TX. I have no issues, other than I have to roll them down when backing up in the pitch dark. With 5% I can still kinda see the rearview mirror in the day, but at night, if a car doesn't have their lights on, no chance I can see them.

Will post pics later.

I have the exact same leak on mine. In my case, it’s dark on the outside of the bell housing, but if you check behind the inspection plate, there’s fresh red fluid.

When I had the new motor installed a couple of years ago, it seemed like a good time to rebuild the transmission. After 4 return trips to the transmission shop, it still leaks and they never could figure out where it was coming from.

They used an aftermarket front seal from the rebuild kit. On the last trip, they finally replaced it with an OEM seal and it still leaks, so they basically washed their hands of it.

It’s not my DD anymore, so I decided to just live with it until I have the time and desire to remove it myself and figure out what’s going on with it.
