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

[The Car Stereo Company]

Had to buy a Budget Floor Jack. Couldn't justify spending even more for what some of you have when I lift my truck once or twice a year. Plus my last Harbor Freight lasted me like a decade and still works. Problem is whereas it would lift my 2018 XLT 4x4 with a 4" lift it won't get my 2020 Raptor off the ground. This should do the trick though.

i got the 4ton jack. funny thing is snap on tried to sue harbor freight because the jack looks just like snap ons jack with minor differences. snap on lost though. but the reson i bring that up is a lot of the components are made by the same manufacturer(s) i got mine on sale for $160 a year and a half ago. compare that to snap on and their $700 pricetag for basically the same jack.

dont get me wrong, i have a lot of snap on tools. $15k for just my effin toolbox ...... but sometimes budget friendly is nice. especially when someone points out my cheap harbor freight tools in my expensive snap on box, and realizes that cheap tool did the job perfectly well

Finally got all the recalls done and she's running great. The door latch was a PIA because they didn't hook the inside handle up at first and I had to to make an appointment to bring it back in.

Easy?

Drain and replenish? Or Drain, change filter, open it up, buy new pan, oil, filter do a dance and reset some bullshet?

Super easy, easiest fluid on the truck to change. Open fill plug (to make sure it comes off) then open the drain plug, let it drain out. I used about 1/2 qt of new fluid to get more of the dirty fluid out. Replace drain plug and pump in new fluid. Calls for 1 1/2 qt but I just kept adding until it started dripping out the fill plug. Once it stopped dripping replace plug. Both plugs added some thread sealant. Actual fluid was just over 1.5 qt. That fluid change was at 20,200 miles/5 years interval. Kinda dark in my opinion but ATF changes quickly anyhow.

Should I turn the turn to power, not turn on, then move it through gears dry or anything? OR do this after driving for like 10 15 minutes to warm it up?

I didn’t get it warm, ATF flows pretty easily
