It’s lower than the oem pan, I’m not sure how much, but it’s not as low as the frame cross member just in front of it, it’s not the lowest thing on the truck

I just installed the AFE pan, was very happy with it, hold 7 quarts more than oem (was the biggest increase of any after market pan I saw), it fit in no problem even with my kooks exhaust and green cats, I did it the same time I installed a B&M transmission dipstick and saudi trans cooler.

Yeah that’s probably what I’ll do, grind out the edges with a die grinder to clean metal, make a small metal patch, epoxy it in place with 3m automotive structural epoxy, then seal it all up. Just have to see which 3m epoxy would be best, I know a lot of them are stronger than the base materials...

I’m not too concerned about the coating. I’m more curious about this area. Is that the front corner of the footwell into the cab? Trying to decide how to best repair, whether to cut out an area and weld in a patch, or cut out an area and use structural automotive epoxy to attach a small patch...

I use Krud Kutter The Must for Rust, it’s primarily phosphoric acid based and reacts to neutralize any rust. https://www.rustoleum.com/-/media/1330EA1F3BDC428BAFA74897CDE13445.ashx It does a good job of stopping and surface rust I’ve seen starting then I’ve painted over it with rust oleum, this...

Looking at pictures of a truck with the fender off it would be the area I indicated with the yellow circle. Just want to figure out how best to do the repair.

I am currently cleaning the underside of my truck, applying rust inhibitor, and then coating it with cosmoline. Ive done the rust inhibitor every couple years and have kept the truck mostly rust free in the Northeast and figured adding coamoline as a coating would help as well. The area with...

Been thinking the same thing, wanting to get a set of those lights, but the mount for the 2010-2014's and the m rack have both been discontinued, if you find something out there that works to mount them let me know.

Im wondering if I should just start with geisers on low and +3s with a drop shackle that was I could always switch to mids, and take out the drip shackle in the future, unless there is a downside to running the +3 with a drip shackle with oem shocks. But I just don’t know whether SD or HD...

I currently have a 2014 raptor that I’ve installed the 700+hp whipple kit from JDM About 50,000 miles ago with factory springs on mid perch but everything else on the truck is stock. I’m about to replace the shocks with new oem but am looking on upgrading the springs at the same time. For the...

Does RPG not make any of their bumpers for the gen 1 anymore? I’ve always been wanting to get a trophy line front and race line rear at some point, but I’ve been watching and all of their bumpers have said out of stock for a long time now.

the idler pulley bolts are 18 ft-lb

Anyone else's whippled truck have trouble starting when it's very cold out. I finished my install back in march or April and we had a mild winter so it never got too cold the rest of the time and the trucks been running fine since. This morning after some snow last night while it was 25...

What he said, I did their 700+ whipple kit with headers and installed the oil pump gear at the same time when my truck was at 60K miles, now at almost 70K and all is great. Removing the oil dipstick tube was a pita, it was seized inthere good and wouldn't budge, tried PB blaster, has another...

I’ll get picks tomorrow morning, I installed the barb fitting in the same place he did in the manifold, but I used a 12v pressure sensor, I mounted it up under the plastic at the top of the firewall behind the hood, I ran the ground to the one at the passenger top firewall ( I would’ve used the...
