    Roush boost gauge dimmer fix

    I found the Roush boost gauge really annoying at night, way too bright. According to Roush there are only white or blue backlight light options and they can't be dimmed but I decided to dive in and see if I could somehow make it less annoying.

    Raptors under 45k?

    I'd like to go through and change all the fluids on the truck and go ahead and do the lead frame while servicing the trans but I can't find any OEM lead frame parts currently available.

    Raptors under 45k?

    I’m a new member to the Forums and joined to research a Raptor purchase. I’ve always been a Ford SVT enthusiast. I own/have owned several Lightnings, Cobras, and my DD “beater” is an SVT Contour. I recently purchased a smaller enclosed trailer (20ft, 7k lbs fully loaded) for taking my Cobra to...
