What did u do to your raptor today?

Quick question- I took my truck in and got a transmission rebuild (long story) but when I left the dealer I heard a strange noise, took it back and they decided that the transfer case was messed up.

It wasn't messed up before I took it in to them and they want me to pay 3,600 out of pocket for something that only became a problem after I had it serviced.

Am I crazy for thinking that should be covered by the dealer or ford?

Here is the link to the rails, I cut off about 6 inches to get it where I wanted it. Used stainless steel nutserts, stainless screws and the rails came with Loc-tite sealer to put under nutserts.

Without a doubt I would contact @FordService either on here or twitter or facebook and see what's up.

How many miles did you have? I have 51k and am really considering doing the exchange program.

57k miles right now. The fronts came of my 2011 that I sold with 46k miles, was easier to switch the coilovers versus redoing mid perch again.

For sure get them done. This program is great. Contact Paul. Get yourself on the list.

Rigid reverse lights are in. Super happy with them they throw the light at 180 degrees versus spot lights. Flush mount is the way to go.
These things rated at 1500 limens each.

Rotated tires, cleaned some rust off my shocks and applied boshield. Also discovered I have 1/4" spacers on the rear axle! The 3.5s are a tight fit with RPGs rst16 and these spacers are needed for tire clearance. Not sure how I haven't noticed these in the past year.

Boshield does not discolor the shocks, correct? I used AMOIL on my old shocks but it gives a yellow film discoloration

Got her 3rd oil change at 15k miles on a 2014 and again I took her into the dealer. I really don't like them working on the truck because you can't see them working on it. I usually do the oil on all my cars but for me it comes out cheaper to have the dealer do it at 48bucks. Everywhere I read I see that people pay less to do their own oil change, what am I doing wrong? The 1st oil change I did on my own came out to be almost 90bucks. Reason I just bite my tongue and let them do it
