    DIY - Stock Raptor 2.5 Shock Rebuild.

    Hey Glenn... I am no expert, but I have a pretty good idea of what is going on inside the rear shocks now. I still haven't done my fronts. We have done more difficult mods to trucks in the past...this just takes patience, focus and a clean work area (and keeping it clean). With your garage, it...

    DIY - Stock Raptor 2.5 Shock Rebuild.

    I got my rears rebuilt and re-installed with m3dragons (I had not seen his name posted in this thread, so I am not using it) assistance and patience in answering all of my questions and sending me some of the rubber pellets and bleeder screws. I could not have done this without his video and his...

    DIY - Stock Raptor 2.5 Shock Rebuild.

    m3dragon, thank you for answering my questions. I had my tools made per your comments and what I saw in the video. A weld shop that I know of was able to make the T-handles and extend my pick tool to 16 inches using actual tool grade bar stock that they had. Cost was $20 and I gave the guy...

    DIY - Stock Raptor 2.5 Shock Rebuild.

    OP, great job on putting all of this together. I am putting together my parts/tools together and I had a couple of questions. In the parts list you mention "2 Grade 8 bolts to be used for spanner 1/4 24 bolts". I can't seem to find a bolt this size, I find a lot of 1/4 x 20 but not x 24. Is...

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    Crystal I have 43k on the clock. I need to get it back in to the dealer to have them diagnose this problem. ---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ---------- with 43k on the clock there is a high probability that my shocks are toast. In fact I was...

    Draive train / tranny issue?

    kolibri, did you have any uneven tire wear because of the IWE engaging?? It seems like the tire might "bounce" down the road on that side with it being partially engaged?? I have some really weird tire wear that I can't explain (what I call paddling, every other tread wearing away, so your tire...

    Raptor towing my Airstream...towing ****

    Bryan, it looks like you guys released this thing at the wrong time from what I understand (right before a major recession)...how about telling Airstream to come out with a Basecamp II??

    Stock shock blown, replacement backordered?

    Tech's need to be educated more than just following flow charts and looking for TSB's. Holy crap, I swear if the problem isn't staring most of these techs in the face waving a friggin sign that says "I AM THE PROBLEM".... they miss it completely and write you up as "Unable to Duplicate". This...

    Mods vs warranty

    If you don't have the stomach for dealing with the dealership and calling them on their BS, then I would say don't mod. If you have a stomach for dealing with the dealership and just don't know, stick to basic mods that are easily undone in the event that you need to go to the dealer and until...

    Hail Damaged Raptor

    Make a deal that the dealership cover paint costs... here's what I am thinking. New glass fenders front and rear to run 37's covers most of the side damage. You look around and find a hood off of a wrecked Raptor, along with your driver side mirror.... you should be good... then turn it over to...
