    General Tire Satisfaction Guarantee

    I just got a set of X3's. The road noise is a little louder than the OEM BFG's. Mine balanced out well, but I do have the tracking issue you mention at highway speeds. It almost feels floaty at speed, and it doesn't take steering wheel input, almost like the steering box is loose? -Satch

    Alarm going off

    My alarm went off while I was mowing the lawn. It was tough getting it to turn off. The app never gave a reason or even acknowledged the alarm was triggered. It happened again about 10 minutes later. Hasn't done it again! I just chalked it up to "Ghosts in the Machine". -Satch

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    Just got mine back from the cam phaser warranty work. Replaced all 4 phasers. Had the parts in 2 days. I was the second Raptor in line they had there for changing them out. The first one needed all the timing components too. Took 2 weeks. Actually less because I dropped the truck off 2 days...

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    I had originally voted "NO" on this poll at some point in the past, but I just recently got the DREADED cold start up rattle. Just under 20K miles. Always changed the synthetic oil at every 5k. Changed Break-in oil at 1k. Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil. Zero mods. So, I guess it's time to get...

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

    Strip washed and Adam's Ceramic Waxed it. This truck is a BIG SUMBITCH! Almost used an entire container of wax on it. -Satch

    C&D Test: Premium 93 worth it in F150/Raptor HO?

    20 less wheel horsepower when down grading from 93 to 87... 1.9 peak boost pressure less as well. Fuel mileage ticked up .6 mpg when running the 93. I think I'll stick with the 93 grade, Thank You! -Satch

    Wheel + Tire Weight

    I let out all the cable, how would I remove it from the top? I probably should have looked in the manual, there is no doubt that I am missing something here. -Satch

    Wheel + Tire Weight

    WOW! 95.5 lbs. I just dropped the spare tire to pull the tailpipes to powder coat the tips. Lifting the spare with one hand while attempting to get the mount perch pushed up through the center of the wheel is not something I would ever want to do on the side of the road! I also took this...

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

    Mounted up my Baja Design S2 Reverse Lights. Decided to pull the tail pipes to powder coat because my passenger side tip was flaking off and rusty. Needed to drop the spare in order to get room to pull the pipes. What a job that turned out to be. Trying to get the spare tire carrier mount...

    Does your pipes look like piece of s*%#?

    I wouldn't do the POR-15... It doesn't fare well to UV rays, doesn't stick very well either. I bought some semi-gloss engine paint I was going to use, but I think I'll have them powder coated when take the tailpipes off to add my BD backup lights. -Satch

    GEN 2 Hitch bump step

    Can't say for sure, because I don't have one, but my WD hitch sets off the sensor. -Satch

    rattle in 2wd

    It's a confluence of small rubber hoses with a check valve on the firewall directly in front of the driver. The part number is FL3Z-3A788-B. I ordered 2 of them from Tasca Parts as spares just in case I ever have a problem. They were $7 a piece. -Satch

    Brand new 2019 SCrew stolen within 24 hours of picking it up

    I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I've been buying Ford trucks since 1999, and I've always specifically looked at buying trucks with the keypad door entry. I would regularly leave my keys hidden in the truck, so as not to lose them if I were traveling. The push button start/fob...

    19 Recaros - Would you take this back for warranty?

    I have alcantera Recaro seats in my 2014 Shelby GT500 that don’t look this bad, with almost 20,000 mile on it. The seat pictured is totally unacceptable.
