Maybe it’s a southern thing but most other raptor owners wave back. Hell even when I’m not driving the truck I find myself waving or nodding to other raptor drivers. They must think he’s crazy.
SP542s are the best OEM plug, especially if running a tune. Unfortunately they can be difficult to find these days. Last set I had to piece together from local auto stores and ebay sellers.
I had the same issue and disinfecting/flushing my AC/Heater core solved the problem. I followed this guy's solution and it worked great on truck, so great that I used it on all of my cars.
I ran Cobb OTS Stage 2 & TCM tune, both are excellent and I've had no issues. But I've heard great things about Goose. Just make sure to change your spark plugs more often and try to find colder plugs.
For peace of mind change the battery every 2-3 years and increase the cold crank amperage. When the battery gets weak our trucks show strange behavior. From my previous BMWs living in the south with hot summers, the batteries are the first thing to go.
I agree, the stock brakes are the weakest link on the truck. I wanted to keep the stock wheels so I built my own upgrade kit. Stoptech slotted rotors and hawk performance lts pads. Braking feel and performance were improved, only down side is that the pads are a little noisy. But I’ll take that...
As our trucks reach higher mileage it’s important to remember these are performance cars and preventative maintenance is critical. At 50k I serviced the diffs, transmission, new coils & plugs, and swapped the shocks with a new set while the originals were getting rebuilt. Truck was out of...
Unfortunately this issue is still plaguing our trucks. Ford cheaped out designing and manufacturing these critical parts and did their best to avoid issuing a recall. I have an early 2017 which had this issue, and sorry to see newer trucks are still affected by this.
Did the math, in 5 years spent ~$17k on fuel for the raptor and enjoyed every fill up. Owners aren’t concerned about fuel prices and values are stable.
Like shooter65 I've been checking this forum since placing my order in mid October. I was able to customize the first allocation from my local dealer and played the waiting game. I ordered a Lightning Blue SuperCrew with the 802a package, tailgate applique & step, moonroof, heated steering wheel...
