    Heavy Console Lid

    Yup. If it becomes a safety issue it has a chance for a recall. If your children get their fingers smashed because the lid fell down, call ford and complain.

    Ford letter about Front Axel Pinion Damage

    Definitely an updated cover. Wonder if they'll make that available for purchase?

    Shelter Green 37PP YouTube Video

    I've watched a few different videos and almost everything they changed appeals less to me than the 23. Glad that I picked up the truck I have now, especially paying over 6k less than a 24. Updated shocks are the only thing I find interesting. As far as colors go, every color available on...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Aren't automotive windshields designed to do this anyway? All other windows are designed to shatter and fall out for emergency exits in the event of an accident. My buddies BMW had the rear window shatter and if it wasn't for tint the whole thing would have ended up in the back seat, but I...

    Electrical battery issue or what?

    What your raptor is trying to say is drive me more! Take an alternate way to or from work and enjoy the ride. Better for you, way better for the truck.

    Electrical battery issue or what?

    My wife's truck does the same thing. Usually after sitting several days and if it has seen a couple short trips with high electrical loads and not enough run time to properly charge the battery, usually in the winter. Truck has never failed to start, cranks normally.

    Oil question??

    What makes this a better filter than a standard fl-820s? Just curious if anyone has looked into it. Wouldn't a racing filter be more about volume and flow at the expense of finer filtration and lifespan? Personally, I run the fl-500s. Always run motorcraft for all my fords.

    Another IWE thread

    Torsen diff can cause pulling in 4wd. Too many scenarios to spell out, it just lets you know it's there, even in auto4 it tells you it's there. 99% of the senerios are normal.

    Another IWE thread

    If the system maintains vacuum at all times driving, try jacking up the front tires and see if the wheels turn independently of the axle while the truck is still idling and vacuum is still being applied post solenoid. My experiences with iwe's is they start to engage while driving due to...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Attempted to install my baja mode decal today. This is what's left: Then I did something controversial and swapped my running boards. Had to see for myself. I made up a small mudflap to help reduce the amount of material that comes up through the holes in the boards.Finally, I relocated the...

    Preproduction Mule - 2025?

    Between the headlights, taillights, grill, front bumper paint, price increase, ugly graphics (across the board), and options I don't want, I purposely seeked out a 2023 and I'm way happier and saved over $6k up front, not including what I would have lost on trade waiting for it to come and...

    Graphics or no Graphics

    To each their own for graphics. For the most part, I like the graphics , but the R graphics to me were just making fun of the v8 rah rah people . I can't afford an R so I'll never have to worry about it. But have you considered the idea that maybe those bedside graphics may be saving...

    2023 Raptor R Chimes no longer come from the speakers?!?!

    I should try charging the battery like you said and see if that changes anything. As far as motorcraft batteries go, I've had nothing but outstanding service from them. Last time I changed one was due to its age and figured I should change it. They were lead acid batteries though, not agm.
