What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[Donovan]

Pure s3x.

 

[K223]

New big brake kit.
Alcon (Roush) 6 piston brakes up front.
Rotors, calipers, pads, and brackets for around $1000. View attachment 339766View attachment 339767

That seems like a lot cheaper pricing than the Alcon kit. Do you know if this kit fits under 17” wheels as well? How’s the stopping?

Since I picked up my Raptor Saturday, yesterday I did the following with Forscan:

DRL Parking and Turn only (looks so mean)
Autofold Mirrors Lincoln Style
Global Window
Double Horn Honk Disable
Driver & passenger seatbelt minder status off
Fake engine noise disable
Heated & Cooled Seat Icons AND Heated Steering Wheel on home & climate screen
Disabled the three "doo-doo-doo" start-up chimes from cluster
IPC Quick Boot (No Ford animation shows on cluster)
Engine temp & Transmission temp shows above gauges (8" Clusters only)

Finally found a spare beadlock with tire. 7 hour round trip to pick it up though. But deal was worth it as beadlocks were the only option I didn’t get that I wanted on the truck. Strangely, if we are only talking looks, like them better than any aftermarket I’ve seen.

Tip - the wire clips on the calipers are supposed to be on the BOTTOM, not the top, ask me how I know. Also, if you did NOT use thread locker on the caliper bolts go do that now, again, ask me how I know.

Looks like a nice setup. Looking forward to hearing about your experience with it. This setup looks very clean, but not sure I would like to give up some of the hard buttons. It may depend on how good the UI is on the tab. Being someone who likes tech, I learned to value simple controls too.

OK...As promised...I was able to get it installed this weekend and I really like it...I like that you can customize the screens too. UI is very responsive, and amp seems like it may be a bit stronger than stock. Overall pretty easy process...Only complaint I would have is the instructions...well suck a bit. Could not get the USB Hub to work...and after reading everything, watching videos, and looking at photos, I saw a 2 wire plug that was not mentioned...plugged in and all good now! Some photos below of the unit, before and after, and my custom background I made with Photoshop to replace the start up...I have since added NovaLauncher so the interface is better as well, and more customizable!

Requires a new Mic...And I hate those things clipped on visor...So I drilled out a Blank button cover and put the Mic there and took the foam off and put it in the center...Looks like it belongs

Before:

Unit - With Wiring


Unit Connections

After Install - Great fit and finish...Matches OEM Perfectly

My new Boot-Up Screen Made with PS...I have several now to choose.

Looks great, more screen shots please…keep us posted if there are a lot of crashes or reboots…does it do CarPlay?

It’s the exact same kit that Alcon offers in red. It was an option for 2020 Roush Raptors. From what I can find you can’t buy the Alcon/Roush kit anywhere, I just lucked out and found someone on eBay selling a few sets.
The stopping power is twice what it was before. Took a little work to break them in, but I couldn’t be happier with the performance.

Clips are on the bottom
Thread locker on bracket and caliper bolts
Caliper bracket bolts torqued to 145 lbs
Caliper bolts torqued to 80 ft lbs
After reading about this kit making lots of brake noise, I used some Liqui Moly brake paste and haven’t heard anything yet

Took it in to the stealership to get the frozen door locks taken care of and one door lock actuator that had a mind of its own. Got there at 7 like requested and then took off in a loaner. Was told it would be done by 4. Turns out they didn't even start working on it till 2, which means it wont be finished till tomorrow.

So I requested an interior detail due to the inconvenience of having to drive back to pick up my stuff that I needed after work. They complained a little, but then agreed to do it. I didn't think it was asking for too much. I'm out of my truck for an extra day, when they clearly knew their backlog that morning and should've told me it wouldn't be done today. Would've saved me the hour and extra 60 miles I had to drive today to get my stuff.

Oh well. At least the interior will finally be clean after snoball.
