I did my own with Raptor liner 2k, sprayed both sides, plan on 3-4 shaker cans. Came out excellent with the spray can, but stripping the original liner off is a giant pain in the arse. I ended up using an air chisel to get most of it off, then wire wheel/nylon grit wheel. Strippers didn’t work...

I will retract my statement about the 10 speed. I went back and looked and it was the 8 speed that I was referring to, memory issues

Ok, go do a search on the Chevy forums ranging from the trucks to the corvettes and camaro. It’s more than conspiracy theories… I have seen posts where the transmissions were initially being replaced under warranty, but they quit doing that when the same problem resurfaced as soon as 10,000...

For those that do not know, this 10 speed transmission was developed by a joint effort by Ford and Chevy. It’s been a nightmare in pretty much all the vehicles they have used it in on the Chevy side including a class action lawsuit by several states… Very similar shifting and vibration issues...

Looking at doing this, do the gen2 sensors still send the pressure signal to the gen1 computer?

You want to leave the clear label/wrap on. It protects the shiny aluminum finish. If you drive in salt they do corrode/oxidize anywhere the clear wrap isn’t. Also it prevents rock chipping on the aluminum shock body by taking the abuse instead of the aluminum.

My vote...Busted steel belt/blem tire

to each his own. Not here to start a pissing match. Just facts. Here’s a real world comparison below of what I am talking about. https://www.motor1.com/news/352499/ford-f-150-coyote-ecoboost-test/

If you’re under warranty, enjoy the twin turbo eco-boom. Out of warranty I would not touch one. I spoke with a mechanic about long term reliability with the 6.2 vs. eco-boost and towing, he said even though Ford touts more torque with the ecoboost, sooner or later the turbos will fail and it’s a...

I saw a post on it here, need to search for it, think there is a video on youtube. Basically rewire at the fuse box to a heavier fuse if I Recall.

$20 Fuel pump fuse problem is way cheaper than a turbo failure problem... Old school technology wins in my opinion if you’re doing your own mechanic work and value reliability over the shiny new tech destined to break.

Have had this exact problem happen twice now on me as well...

I am interested, mine were yellow zinc. Traded trucks and looking for another set. I see it’s a year later now.. probably gone.
