I was doing 15k as per service manual but was changing to 10k upon advice on here. So comment was based on 15km services.

I'm well aware of that!!! But getting another in NZ isn't that easy and I've got this one the way i want it. Could be looking at a new crate motor or something I think.

This is an F150 Raptor that I've owned it for 2.5 years and the same Ford Dealer has done the servicing. I bought it with 40km (25 miles) on the clock so had done practically nothing. It doesn't have any oil leaks but uses a bit of oil but nothing unusual. (maybe a a litre or so in between...

Hi. Have had am interesting problem. My local Ford Dealer did a service on my 2017 a few weeks ago and put the wrong oil in it. They put the 20W5 that the Ranger Raptor takes. Anyway 4,000km later it goes into limp mode due to low oil! Took it back to dealer and they did another service and put...

Hi Unfortunately in New Zealand they have basically no listings. Even Ford don't so I need specific part numbers to find anything. The joys of having an imported truck!

Don't suppose you have the bearing numbers? Wouldn't mind getting some so can replace them without having to go to the store after pulling it apart.

15km as per manual.

Probably different useage but I got mine revalved by local Fox agent who basically just racing shocks. Will put a few things in perspective. I have an off road race truck (desert truck but we don't have deserts!) and I rebuild and tune the coilovers and external bypasses myself. Discussed doing...

Yeah unfortunately zero support from Ford in NZ. Literally the local dealer can't even fly parts in for me and is forced to sea freight. It's kind of shit! Hopefully later this year when Ford starts converting them to RH drive in Australia that will change but for now... nothing. But you recon...

Hi All. Is anyone having oil usage between changes? Mine seems to be using oil. No signs of leaking so just wondered if it's a common thing as doesn't seem to be any other problem. (and either I can't use the search properly or nothign has been said about it!)

Ok so some progress. I've gone to 4" where the Corsa, AFE etc join just after the cross member. From there I went to a 4" straight through resonator then back to the factory rear pipes. This was pretty good and got rid of the rattle but was still too 'tin canish'. But much much better than the...

Hi All. I'm having a battle with my exhaust like a lot but being on the other side of the planet buying parts becomes problematic. I've just put a Corsa muffler on and lets just say it's sounds like a tincan full of stones as soon as you hit 2500 rpm so I'm extremely disappointed with it!!!! The...

I need to replace factory rear bumpstops but getting them in this part of the world isn't easy!! (3 months by slow boat via Ford!!!) Has anyone got a factory rear bumpstop they can give me some measurements of and tell me what the thread is? I'm trying to find a generic aftermarket one to fit.

What pressure do you recommend them to be at?

I'm just about to order some Icon and Eibach springs and will then tune the factory shocks to suit. (2017 factory shocks) My question is what have others done? Not looking at changing the shocks just making these work better. Seems silly to me to change them when there is a huge amount you can...
