    trans. temp warning @ sustained high speeds?

    I purchased the truck less than a year ago at around 39k miles and it’s at 47’ish now. Transmission was serviced in February, at around 44k miles along with an oil change, and some other recommended maintenance.

    trans. temp warning @ sustained high speeds?

    The following scenario is a fictional/hypothetical scenario and his being used for educational purposes. Once upon a time, a man was driving his Gen 2 raptor from Dallas to Austin one weekend. During the drive, our noble hero was blessed with a few sections of wide open road, with very few...

    Best replacement for OEM speakers...

    Sincerely appreciate all of the responses... I clearly don't know, what I don't know, which seems like a @#$%! ton at this point. If at all possible, I was hoping to keep the cost in the $1,000-1,500 (max) range. Don't know if that means I'm generally SOL, or there are options that would be...

    Best replacement for OEM speakers...

    Posting this because I perused the "speaker upgrade' thread and didn't see an answer to what I'm hoping is a fairly simple question. If I'm not looking to upgrade the entire system at this time but I'd like to get the best sound I can out of the existing system/head unit by only replacing...

    New Gen 2 Owner - Day 1 problems...[resolved, hopefully]

    I'm glad they did as well... super refreshing to have a business operate that way and they'll definitely get future referrals/business from me as a result.

    Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating

    Is there something that provides superior protection from the elements, namely the sun? Given the truck will mostly be outside, I just wanted to make sure I do what I can to keep the paint from getting hammered by the sun. Thanks!

    Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating

    Have some fitment issues with the truck and my garage. Not sure if I'll be able to remedy them well enough for day to day use so the truck will likely live in the driveway and be pulled into the garage only during hail/ice storms. With that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to get the...

    Pain Correction & Ceramic Coating

    I'll price out the cost of ppf on the front end as well. Any thoughts on the price range for the services I mentioned?

    Doggo owners, what’s your front to back seat barrier?

    This is an old thread but I found this tonight and thought other people might find it interesting. This is the only one I've seen specifically made to work with the seats folded up in the back...

    New Gen 2 Owner - Day 1 problems...[resolved, hopefully]

    Haha, appreciate the warm welcome... so far so good on the repairs. The truck seems to be running well. Drove it a bit Saturday and Sunday and had some opportunities to get on it a few times and didn't have any issues (knock on wood). I will drive it a bit as is and make sure it's stable...

    New Gen 2 Owner - Day 1 problems...[resolved, hopefully]

    Wasn't looking for the headache, but it WAS looking for me. If you have time to read through the thread, you'll see where I stand at the moment. Apart from the original SNAFU of not knowing about the tune before ensuring me it hadn't been tuned, they've handled every single thing (that...

    New Gen 2 Owner - Day 1 problems...[resolved, hopefully]

    Sincerely appreciate the insight... hoping that's all it was in this case and the issue is resolved now. The truck got 6 new spark plugs and two new coil packs this afternoon. Dealer handled the bill, which was just over $700. Here's hoping she runs like a champ now.
