    Looking for best tune on my new '19

    Ran MPT/91 on my '18 for at least 1 year. Took it off the other day for a service call. I would sell this truck tomorrow if I had to drive it stock. What a difference. I had forgotten how good the MPT tune was. I did not reset the KAM after tune removal...that might help but it is sluggish...

    2018 802a rearview mirror re-install

    *** Update Had the Safelite guy put it back on. It was a simple push and twist according to him. I tried for 2 hours and failed...thats why he's the pro.

    2018 802a rearview mirror re-install

    Had a windshield replaced and the rearview mirror cover/housing was poorly reinstalled. Today I grabbed it to remove and realign and the whole mirror popped off. The base plate is still attached to the windshield but I cannot get the mirror to snap back in place. It has some type of 4-point...

    GEN 2 MPT Tune available for 2018 Raptors

    Don’t think so...but, MPt will assign parameters to the driving modes. Sport mode will get a more aggressive profile than normal. I had the throttle response adjusted more aggressive in sport and backed it off in normal. The overall tune is global to the ECM but the individual modes are where...

    SP542 Thread

    I have zero doubt that when I swapped mine it ran smoother and was quieter. I likened it to the same sound you get when you change your oil and first start it up...you can just hear its smoother. Didn't notice a performance gain but I do have a tune and small performance changes aren't that...

    2018 with ADD 2" front level kit

    Holding up really well. Watch Youtube...plenty of information there. I used 4 cans to about 25% left in each can. I waited 30 min between coats and did very little each coat. I recall about 5 applications done very thin each time. I finished off with a can of metallic sparkle. It appears...

    Loose at high speeds

    My toe was out after perch collar install. Once I had the toe aligned it was solid...not as solid as before but much much better at 80mph than before the alignment.

    Warning about Whipple tune

    Agree. This forum was overwhelmed with the group buy and people's excitement. Been a little quiet since then. Somebody mentioned the 4-to-5 hard shift. I have MPT (on my 3rd version based upon user input) and I had 4 to 5 shift the other day that made me think something broke. My wife...

    2018 with ADD 2" front level kit

    Update after alignment: Toe was out big time. Camber was fine. Very common after a level kit. Both tires were toed "in" (.4 positive appx). Tech reset back to spec and truck drives much much better. Did a high speed run on the interstate The wandering is basically gone. There is still...

    2018 with ADD 2" front level kit

    I can see your point. 3 @ $80 per hour was fair to me. $240 and done correctly is a fair value. I've heard of others paying $300 with alignment so not too far off the mark. My alignment is going to be $80 at Firestone...so I will be about $320 into the install not including parts.

    2018 with ADD 2" front level kit

    Had Addictive Desert Design folks in Arizona install their 2" front level kit. It's basically the only size perch kit they sell. I wanted 1.5 but they only sell 2 inch. Quick job and awesome folks over there. 3 hour labor charge for the work. Initial thoughts on looks: The truck sits...

    What is a fair price resale price for 2018 Raptor

    saw one in Phoenix yesterday that had "0 above MSRP" written on the windshield in paint. Funny thing is I think it is a '17 they couldn't sell because it was $15k ADM. Last October I offered cash MSRP they said no. I flew to Texas that weekend using airline miles and drove one back @ MSRP for...

    GEN 2 MPT Tune available for 2018 Raptors

    You didn't ask...but I have the 91prx (no 93 in Arizona). I mostly drive in normal due to keeping the RPMs lower when not stomping on it. Sport mode might have you doing 25mph at 4k rpm...normal mode will drop that down to much less. My right thumb can call up sport mode without looking in a...

    Brake Upgrade Options?

    IMO the quickness of a tuned raptor feels light and sporty. This is dangerous since the brakes are not up to the task of the sporty feel. I put my brakes almost to the floor exiting an off ramp recently from highway speeds (plus a little). Brake pedal application was smooth and continued to...

    MPT Tune Version 4

    I loaded the 91 performance tow this weekend. Truck still pulls strong but isn't as aggressive. Normal mode reminds of stock revs but with a stronger pull. Sport mode had more responsive throttle and pep with slightly more seat of the pants pull. I will reload my 91PRX and use that until the...

    Throttle stuttering on acceleration

    Not sure it is even remotely related but starting about 1 week ago I started feeling a stuttering under very light throttle when motor is mostly still cold. Tonight was the first time I noticed the mpg flutter at the same time I can feel the motor stuttering a little. The stutter reminds me of...

    my 2017 raptor exhost system upgrade

    I kind of liked the end result with the resonator. I'd like to add a little more volume to mine also, even if it sounds kind of lame. Its almost embarrassing to get nice complements on the truck and then start it with the stock exhaust...really underwhelming.

    MPT Tune Version 4

    I never had an issue and went ahead and loaded the new tune just in case. I just completed a 500 mile roundtrip from Phoenix to Las Vegas. Used ACC most of the time and made sure to use it on the steep grades and had zero issue. I was in normal mode. I should have tried sport. Keep us posted.

    MPT Tune Version 4

    Was told by MPT that the boost comes on a little later on the new profile and the off the line should feel slightly less than before. Said overall power isn't any less just the initial onset. Off the line can be throttle gain boosted if you ask them. I have ran back to back test of my...

    SP542 Thread

    My torque wrench is in storage. Do you think a good tight snug is good enough? I've been working on cars a long time and have never torqued a spark plug to specs. I just didn't know there was such a thing. Yeah I get it...$75,000 truck without a $25 torque wrench in his toolbox.

    Installed them today on '18 @.25. It reminded of when you first change your oil...it seemed to run smoother and quieter. My son asked why the truck was so quiet today while sitting at a light.

    MPT Tune Version 4

    I received revised tunes for my '18 today without ever asking for them. I have yet to see any errors with my current tunes but they were kind enough to send me updates today to ensure I was protected against the A.C.C. issue since I do have the Raptor tech package. Have been extremely happy...

    Does Anyone actually buy a Raptor at MSRP?

    I live 10 minutes from Peoria Ford and they wouldn't come off the markup in NOV...I flew to TX...what a shame they lost local business from me. Jordan Ford in San Antonio sells them for whatever price you see on the website and that is usually MSRP. I would imagine 500 below isn't out of the...
