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

[Javi]

I went to the Ford Dealer to rotate my tires and 3 of my lug nuts broke in half one of my aftermarket rims. The Ford Dealership told me the only way to remove them is to weld the lug nuts and my rim will get damaged during the process. I know they torqued that hell out of my rims because I was not able to removed them earlier. I told Ford since they always do my tire rotations and they need to pay for any damages because they are over torquing my tires. I was informed that they are not going to pay for the rim because the rims are aftermarket and I did not provide them with a specific torque during any of my tire rotations.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can report this issue to higher authorities?. I have been complaining to the manager and nothing is happening.

Torque specs aren't based on the wheels you have. It's 150ft lbs no matter what rims... what a bunch of jokers.

Washed exterior, cleaned and conditioned leather with Chemical Guys “leather in a bottle”. Buffed out several surface scratches with Chemical guys clear cut and polish. And sprayed in some Chemical Guys “new car smell”. Truck smells like a leather store and a new car. If y’all haven’t tried the Chemical Guys products, check them out. I started using them when you could only order them, now they’re sold at Walmart

I just bought some Chemical Guys products from Amazon I’m hoping they work well. I got the VRP Protection for the interior and exterior trim. The Nonsense invincible cleaner and sprayable leather cleaner and conditioner.

I’ve replaced all of my detailing products with Chemicals Guys. Everything is fantastic.

I cleaned out and lubed all the uniballs and heim joints on the front end. I used CCR Power Lube with PTFE to coat all the joints after cleaning all the grim out. I know a built front end will never be quite like OEM, but it sure is much quieter and smoother now.

I took those swapbay adapters off and cut a 1" hose I had laying around in half about 1.5" long and installed on top of the swaybay, slid the adapters back on over the runber and tighten it all back down. No more clanking as the rubber hose filled in the gaps on the adapters.

I loosened the Borla Atak exhaust system as it seem to have small exhaust leaks at every connection point (black soot) cleaned everything up and reinstalled all the pipes and tighten everything back down. I can't hear any leaks now.

Checked and blew out the rear axle vent tube hose. I could barely blow through it before I blew it out with compressed air. Now it's free flowing.

I need to replace the lug nuts as they have surface rust and look to be OEM. Any suggestions for replacements other than Gorillas?

The video in the first post really put a lot of testing into additives. It's why i am running XPD.

I also need to keep this truck for the long haul. Maybe @Old-Raptor-guy can give us a good recommendation on a diesel fuel system cleaner.

Do you have pictures, also lots and lots of wet rags will protect the wheels, i have had to weld a few lug nuts to get them removed.

Threw on SDHQ Kevlar/Steel brake lines, and the usual every 5k oil and 5 wheel rotation.

Drove it for the first time in 3 months after I picked it up from the dealership. New cam phasers, water pump, IWE's, front diff, new brakes all around, new belt and a few other small things. Feels good to be out of that 2.7L XLT loaner they had me in.
