    Nailed my mailbox

    I once looked at getting my flares wrapped in carbon fiber look and I remember it did not seem too expensive. You might look at that route. It was a kit on Amazon for all 4 flares. Worse case it looks dumb and back to the drawing board. Or it could look groovy. There was several options besides...

    Strange Engine Bay Sound on My Gen 2

    This is wonderful. Mine 2020 just started doing this same sound right after offroading and going through deep boggy mud. I had quite a bit of mud trapped ontop of the skid plate that I cleaned off but I did not squirt the fans well enough. Mine only makes the sound when its at idle and with this...

    Strange compressor sound

    I just started having a sound inside the truck that sounds like a small air compressor. It only seems to happen at first start up or if I am idling for long periods. It does not change if I rev the engine or if I go into neutral. It sounds like it is coming from the front drivers side, but I...

    4wd no-no’s

    I found it interesting that the last time I got stuck in the mud and was rocking the truck out a message came on the dash asking if I was stuck and would I like for the truck to take over. I clicked ok and it started gently rocking on its own. It didnt help but I have never seen that message pop...

    Has anyone tried any oil additives in the 3.5 l EcoBoost and heard or made any actual difference in the performance and longevity of the engine

    I bought this Raptor after the last one burned down. I have had it for 6,000 miles. I had a trip out of town so I just logged it with the cruise set between 70-75 after a few hundred miles. But even with my other Raptor I never got 19 mpg unless I was coasting.

    I have been using S3 oil additive for quite a while in my diesels. I actually just wrote a review on Amazon for this. I do mostly hwy driving and usually get about 17. With the S3 I was getting 19 doing 70-75 mph. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KQJMDD7/?tag=fordraptorforum-20...

    Insurance: What the Fr*ck!

    USAA is so less expensive for me that when I tried to use my parents St. Farm agent he called and said his rates were double what USAA was and that was after my first Raptor burned down. They were pretty good to work with on that claim and even paid me 20% above actual cash value once it was...

    Gen 3 finance rates.

    I found that USAA had the best rates when I bought mine. Their rates are posted on their website.

    Rolled my 3 day old truck

    My Raptor burned up and I had not even made my first payment. USSA took about a month to settle but it was because the adjusters could not make it out to the countryside where it was. But when it came to numbers I did my homework and they were only a few hundred dollars off of my estimate. I...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    I strongly disliked the stock chrome wheels. But before I spent a bunch of money on aftermarket I decided to see what it would look like pastidipped. Also, finished the off road lights on the hood and bumper. Love the backlight look.

    Once their numbers came in they were only $300.00 off from where I was on my figures so I didnt argue. The biggest issue was that since it was over $50,000 payout, it had to keep going to a supervisors approval. And there were errors 3 times so that added an additional two weeks.

    Sorry, just now seeing this. USAA took their sweet ass time. Just over a month for them to do the investigation and send funds. But to be fair, the truck was way out in the middle of nowhere. So it took forever to find an adjuster to go take a look at the crispy frame. I did have the feature...

    Painted stock wheels and Fog Lights

    I strongly disliked the stock chrome wheels. But before I spent a bunch of money on aftermarket I decided to see what it would look like pastidipped. Also, finished the off road lights on the hood and bumper. Love the backlight look.

    Rigid fog light backlit

    I just ended up running them to my aux 5 switch. Bummer cuz now I only have one switch left for the grill light bar.
