I have not. I'm not sure if it was replaced prior to my ownership though. It's due soon. I believe 120k miles. Shocks have not been rebuilt by me, but that's on my short list of things to do. I have noticed a decrease in ride quality, but again, nothing massive. Sweet truck!!

Hi! So I'm back. Sorry. Purchase Info: Month: June 2020 Miles: 48,610 Price: $45,241.76 + Taxes/Fees Location: Parks Ford/Lincoln of Gainesville (Don't recommend, to be honest) Condition: Purchase day me would've said A+, today me says B-. Current Mileage: 119,805.3 This stands to...

This is well timed. The oil pan on my truck was just swapped out last week, I believe with it's metal counterpart. I didn't even notice I was having an issue. No oil leaks on the ground or "embarrassing" spots when I'd pull away from extended parks. When I took my truck in for an unrelated...

That's what was bothering me too. From aviation, I can say for certain that "debris" found in fluid, from a closed system, usually means something is corroding away, chipping off, or failing (i.e engine / transmission chips). If it was pieces of the gasket that was failing that were found I...

Truck is still sitting at 93K! I've put a good amount of love into her but I haven't crossed the 100K mark yet. I can actually check all my service records to see if it was flushed at 60K, I haven't missed a campaign service on it yet. It appears it was not flushed then, I brought the truck in...

Okay, whoa, the video in your bio (The Doug one) is the reason I bought a Raptor in the first place, so thank you. I now own my favorite vehicle ever of my 12 year driving career. I had the Orange Coolant since I'm a 2017 MY truck. Do you think the coolant became corrosive and started eating...

Exact same behavior on mine, they claimed a water leak at the pump and then a leak at the thermostat. It's actually next to no boost, and I was getting it on declines too. It was happening anytime I had let off the gas (regardless of OAT / incline / decline). I wonder how long before my...

This is a PSA for anyone who has had this issue, as well as a Request for Information (probably from FordTechOne eventually) : About 2 months ago I noticed that if I was doing highway speeds (70 - 80 MPH) and I let off the accelerator my coolant temp would start to spike. Depending on how long...

Looking to buy a Shadow Black Camper Shell. Open to anything, ARE preferred.

I was always under the impression diesels got better mileage! I learned today! Haha. God speed, soldier, I hope you knocked on some wood. Hahah, jk, that's awesome, here's to more problem free miles! I really don't think it gets old hoping in or out. I drove my family around today and they...

Yeah it was pretty ******, they told me if it kept smelling like it to bring it back, the drive to Bozard is 45 minutes, so instead I bought one of the 6.99 Mothers A/C Cleanser bombs you light off in the cabin and leave for 15 minutes. Well worth. One every 4 or so months works-- in terms of...

FORScan is great and fairly easy to use! Plus like GCATX said, everything is on Google or YouTube, so you can look up how to do it worse comes to worst. A transmission tune, if you're feeling spicy, is another option too. It's also plug and play, no skills required, but it is expensive and...

This looks awesome! I'll be honest, Avalanche was my dream color. The one I found in my ball park was Shadow Black, but damn did I really want an Avalanche. Every so often I play around with the idea of getting it wrapped haha.

I didn't even include the worst part! Which I forgot to add to the review. 1 month after I purchased the vehicle, an accident report was filed on my vin for BOTH front doors on CarFax. It was listed as light damage, honestly could've been a dent repair, but it's on the CarFax, fortunately, it...

Hey thanks! Appreciate it! Thanks for your service as well! That's super exciting, congratulations brother! Let me know how the Gen 3 is, way too much for my budget, but I'll eye it from a distance until they're used and in my price range!
