    2024 Raptor Order MSRP

    Reading everyone’s comments, i contacted my dealer about orders since I am placing an order for a work truck and they said they would take my Raptor build and get it in the system while they wait for allocations. Thank you all. Glad I didn’t wait until nov or December to start asking.

    IWE vacuum system upgrades

    I had the grinding effect due to the vacuum leak. I replaced the front hubs and vacuum check valve with the solenoid since I have 170,000 miles on the truck. Come to find out I still had a grinding sound...I figured it out to be the vacuum reservoir. Capping off the hose going to the...

    Any option for Gen 2 shock rebuilds in Florida? TSW Off Road exchange program seems like a good option

    front end rattle

    I had the same rattle. It was the brake pad was moving around. The clip was missing. New clips and problem solved. Luckily I was due for an oil change when I figured it out and Ford installed the clips at no charge.
