    Any way to fix/clean this? Mine used to only do it briefly at start, but now it’s longer and longer. 2012 with 165k miles.

    Maybe exhaust leak?

    If it is an exhaust leak. I’d be looking at the manifold for a crack. That has happened to guys before

    Long travel options/reviews

    gotcha. maybe im thinking of some of the "mid travel" kits. sometimes in my head they are all "long travel" as they are longer than stock. I think some of them do use stock axles, but yeah, looks like some come with parts. but that still needs to be accounted for in the cost. the RPG kit does...

    Long travel options/reviews

    one thing to consider is the axles. not sure how deep you want to go into it (or how much money you want/are willing to spend) but some of the kits require longer front axles. Some do not and the only longer ones are pretty pricey (in the $1800 range i think) so just make sure you are comparing...

    DIY Naturally Aspirated 6.2L Build

    I so want to do this (well an engine build, not nec a big stroker). I'll def be watching this thread to see how it all turns out. I might have found a doner complete raptor motor. Its pretty cheap, but it says the motor is for parts. they say the motor sized up, but they could turn it but heard...

    What is the main difference between 2012 and 2014 radios.

    Well, the 2010-12 (i have a 12) do have a sinc system with buttons on the wheel. they also have cooled seats (mine does, love that here in FL). Mine (as mentioned) cannot be upgraded to sinc 3 like a lot of guys do, but there are plenty of aftermarket headunits that have touch screen and add...

    Morimoto XB or Raptor Retrofits?

    Cool. thanks for the link. I'll have to look at them. Since i have some of the older retrofit HID from dawson, I wonder if i could just pull them apart and fit those in pretty easy. that would be cheaper than a lot of options. I just had my lenses professionally sanded and cleared. so they are...

    Ford F150 Master Brake Cylinder Class Action lawsuit

    Did you bleed the ABS? most guys don't/forget about that. The old two man method of pump and hold, or even using a pressure bleeder doesn't work all that well these days. I went through like 6 bottles of fluid on one of my cars after having the brake calipers painted. I was banging my head...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    when was the price jump? I've had mine for several years now. really i got it and replaced my magnaflow because when i went to the Icon leafs and drop shackles, I was having clearance issues at the end of travel. not really a big deal. also when i went to a dovetail rear bumper, the stock...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Finished up the Long Tube Header install today. Long weekend under the truck. The bolts on the manifold are a pain to get out. Its just some gymnasics figuring out what size socket, with what extension (or wrench) works best. The best part is once you get the manifolds out and you feel like you...
