I know this is an old thread but confirms what I ran into today. Tire dealer mounted new tires without removing the trim rings like I told him he needed to do. machine ran around all of them taking off the finish. He thought thyey were fake bead locks and the ring was part of the wheel. Anyway...

has anyone had to order and replace one of their factory trim rings on the wheels? Not the actual Beadlock rings that have 24 bolts but the ones that come on the truck when sold (SVT logo and 12 bolts holding them in place). Tire dealer did not remove them when installing new tires and...

I agree- maybe I should rephrase. I didn't mean slam into gear just as I start it up. If you start up normally and then put into gear it does this. shouldn't have top let idle for 20-30 seconds before transmissions builds pressure to drive away. It is like doing an oil change and when you...

I was thinking it has something to do with a drain back valve. May also explain another issue we had once. we had went hiking overnight and parked on a steep downhill lot facing down. next day when we left truck would not shift out of first gear. I wonder if it had somehow overfilled the...

I have it wired that way now with a relay mounted in the rear bumper. I have the backup lights firing the relay and all works like it should. What I am wanting to do is not run a wire from under the hood to the rear for the upfitter switch. I was hoping to tap into the existing backup light...

2013 raptor. When I leave my truck parked for several days and start it up and immediately put in gear the truck will barely move. it is like the transmission is low on fluid (somehow has leaked down inside) within a few seconds like it builds up pump pressure or refills the converter it is back...

I have installed flush mount Rigids in the bumper of my '13 Raptor. I wired them into the backup wiring from the trailer connector and also a single wire tapped off a relay I had planned to run to one of the upfitter switches. Currently the function when I put in reverse. Plan was to have the...

Dry lake bead in Joshua Tree, CA

I have seen several other Raptors in the area since we moved here? Any members on the forum live in the area?

I noticed that after I took the pic. Thought I should have turned my wheels also to match his for the mirror effect.

I keep seeing my twin truck running around town and have almost waited on him to come out to see who drive it. I have 2013 Terrain Raptor. I have passed the same truck in Green briar area, parked across from it in VB at Mission BBQ and went into ****'s sporting goods and we were parked next to...

I looked at several new and used Raptors after I saw the rust on mine. Most new ones on the lots had rust already, some used ones had gaps and no rust. It was like they got sloppier with assembly in 13. More info on the tape sealing the rockers? I had wondered about covering the holes...

I also raise the sensors on the doors that stop the door from closing when blocked. I raise them to bumper level. That way if the bumper isn't clear of the sensors it will not close. With them at normal height off the floor the door will still close with part of the bed out the door. Started...

All fixed now. Dealer removed bumper, sanded and repaired rusted area, painted and reinstalled bumper. This time it has about 3/8 gap so it wont rub anymore
