    Raptor thinks it's getting low octante fuel

    I'm working with Winfield. He's been great so far, and patient. So it's a goose tune, second tune. I didn't know the issue when I bought the tune but I bought it because the truck felt sluggish. Starting from top left: Before ECU reset. ECU Reset. Car running for a few min and moving from the...

    Raptor thinks it's getting low octante fuel

    Yea, There are some knock parameters. I'll load those and see if the sensors are picking something up.

    Raptor thinks it's getting low octante fuel

    I've had this issue since I bought the truck. I didn't know that boost was supposed to max out till we bought and drove my wife's Raptor. I've never had a turbo charged vehicle before so I don't know much about turbos. When I put the tune in it started boosting all the way but only for about a...

    Raptor thinks it's getting low octante fuel

    Maybe. I'm not getting a code but I suppose it's not outside the realm of possibility that the sensor is bad. I get a shit ton of wastegate rattle when I first start the truck but that goes away after it warms up. I don't think that could trigger the knock sensor though could it?

    Raptor thinks it's getting low octante fuel

    For one it's reading estimated 88 octane on my cobb tuner. When I reset the ECU the truck is a different animal. After a couple days it starts dogging out. Boost wont go past 1/2 way and it feels like it's struggling. I also own a 2019 that's my wife's daily driver and that one doesn't have this...

    Raptor thinks it's getting low octante fuel

    My 2018 Gen 2 with 45k miles keeps down tuning the engine and lowering boost because it thinks it's getting lower octane fuel. I've tried fuel from several gas stations, reset the ECU, and yet it's still happening. Does anyone have any ideas where I can start to get this sorted? (My local...

    Anyone Switch to Full Synthetic Oil?

    I don’t own a gen 3 yet. I have a Gen 2. I have always run Mobil 1. Parents owned a repair shop when I was younger and I drank the cool aid on mobil 1. Then in 1993 I bought a 4.0L Ford Ranger. Junked it in 2013 after flipping the odo 3x. Engine still ran great. Never one engine issue. Not one...

    GEN 1 Broken Steering Wheel Adjustment Button Cover

    I’d buy one but my mechanic said I’d have to order the whole module. The button you linked isn’t the one that broke. For $12 I’d just order it.

    Need Bodyshop in S FL

    Someone nailed my Gen1 2013 Raptor last night. Looks like there structural damage too. Possibly bent axle. Tons of sensor faults. Anyone know a body shop in Broward that can restore it?

    GEN 1 Broken Steering Wheel Adjustment Button Cover

    I have a 2013 Raptor and the small button that adjusts the steering wheel position broke off. I can still stick my fingers in there and adjust it so the module works. The little plastic button cover is what broke. Now at the time it broke I had a resin 3D printer on order and was waiting for...

    Thanks guys. As for mods the first thing I put in was a console safe. Console Safe Late Production 2012 - 2014 Ford F150 with Full Floor Console also fits Raptor Platinum Not really a bad ass mod but necessary. For now I'm just gathering info and enjoying the truck. Getting away to the outdoors...

    Beadlock Screws

    Thanks for the parts link. At 5.50 each it's going to get expensive. Pretty much all of them are shot. Even the few that show no signs of rust yet are oxidized pretty bad. The Amsoil idea will probably work till I get around to dealing with it the proper way. The only real long term options...

    Well I planned to wash & wax it this weekend but the weather decided otherwise. All I have are the photo's from when I bought it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pkts7lp4ipzcuw4/IMG_3993.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/d66gguw51mjw4fo/IMG_3992.jpg?dl=0

    Beadlock Screws

    I just bought a 2013 Raptor that came with factory beadlock wheels. The hex screws that hold the trim ring are badly oxidized and several look to be either rusting or oxidizing orange behind the screw. Does anyone know where I can buy replacement hex screws for the trim ring? Also is there...

    Hello, I just bought a used 2013 Raptor here in sunny S. FL. It's my first 4x4 since my 1993 Ford Ranger. That truck lasted 15 yrs, 300k miles and was put thought the mill. I just traded my Dodge 1500 4x2 for the Raptor. Wow what a difference. I smile every time I get it the Raptor. What a...
