    Gen 3 fender flares

    I also had issues with all of the flares on my 22. I just polished them out tonight and they look great! Looks like I polished off almost all of the paint drip-looking issues!

    Exhaust rattle on cold start?

    I had my exhaust fixed under the TSB. The rattle came back 2 weeks later. I have resorted back to unplugged exhaust valves.

    Gear indicator?

    Bump! Someone please figure out how to allow visible gear indicator in Forscan! I would like it to always be on in normal mode as well!

    Help on color

    CO is a very bright color, and fits the Raptor very well. I decided to go with Atlas Blue on my ‘22 to be a little more subtle. I own a construction company, and didn’t want to be the guy showing up in the brightest/flashiest truck around. A guy in town has a CO 37 with the graphics pckg and it...

    Exhaust rattle on cold start?

    Yeah. Mine noise was clearly coming from the exhaust valve. I even climbed under the truck to hear it more clearly. Maybe you should open the hood and record, as you move your phone around the engine bay. You should be able to hear the noise get louder, as you pass by that part of the engine...

    Exhaust rattle on cold start?

    Just had my exhaust rattle fixed last week. It was under the TSB and they got the parts in 3 days. Just needed to replace the exhaust valve springs!

    Exhaust Rattle - Cold Start

    I read on the other thread that is was just exhaust valve springs that were supposedly replaced. Maybe they ordered replacement valves that have the same issue (built with the weaker springs). Anyone else, please post the part numbers that were used for the fix. I may have to order the parts...

    Exhaust rattle on cold start?

    Any of you that have had the rattle fixed with the TSB, please post a pic of your receipts or the part numbers needed for the fix! My dealer says they can’t order parts for a TSB that they can’t find on Oasis… I still have my valves unplugged, but would love the have the exhaust working properly...

    Headlights aimed too high?

    OP said he was on a road trip. Was there any luggage or extra weight in the bed? My toolbox was enough to get flashed by everyone. I adjusted the headlights down (about 2” on my garage wall from 30’ away. That worked! No more flashing headlights and I see great at night!

    No sound from VTA mod/blow off valve??

    You have to quickly get off the throttle while in higher boost to really hear anything. My 2019 seemed more audible than my 22. Do this while under load (driving), not sitting in neutral. You should def hear something! Try a third gear pull. Manually select third, accelerate to build boost and...

    5 Star Tuning

    I had 5 Star tuning on my last truck (2019 Lariat 3.5EB). Tune was great and truck ran awesome! Only problem, was when I went to trade the truck in on my 22 Raptor, the tuner errored out and I could not return to stock. Did all the software updates, didn’t work. Contacted them a few times, got a...

    Should I Buy, or Walk?

    I can tell you first hand, as I have a 22 Raptor and my father has a 22 Tundra Capstone. When we picked up his truck, I instantly noticed how cheap and flimsy ALL of the metal and plastics were on the Tundra. Ride quality was average and the seats were very stiff/uncomfortable for the four hour...

    Loud Exhaust Rattle - Currently no fix from Ford

    No. I tried that first. The valves seemed to shut under hard acceleration. I plugged them back in, initially, then unplugged them while the truck was NOT running. Sounds much better and the valves sound like they are staying in that position! Ill try to attach a video…

    Airbags?

    I had the air lift inside coil bags with the small onboard compressor on a previous truck (Ram 1500). They worked great! Kept them aired down for daily commuting, then just aired them up, right before a load of lumber was dropped into the bed or a trailer was hooked up. I would get them for my...
