    What did u do to your raptor today?

    No I didn't. Only back to the metal crimps under the rad. I think the lines might be all metal from that point back. Required: 1/2" transmission cooler line x 6' 3/4" hose clamp x 8 (2 on each hose end) Rotary tool to do precise cuts on the crimps

    Front Shock Rubbing on Coil

    It was a few years ago and it was when I installed gen 2 shocks on my gen 1 truck, but I took it for a test drive and it was making metal on metal grinding noises. I took the top hat out and flipped it around to fix the issue and it was good. The gen 2 shock is larger than the gen 1 shock so I...

    Front Shock Rubbing on Coil

    Late to the thread, but that is 100% a misinstalled top hat. I know because I did the same thing but heard it rubbing right away and caught it.

    Extreme IWE confusion

    Update: Glued the two pieces back together with the most carcinogenic glue I had, let it sit for an hour, and reinstalled. Been driving for an hour, SHE'S GOOD

    Extreme IWE confusion

    Update: Found out right IWE was completely broken in half. It still held vacuum though, which is why this relatively simple vacuum system has been such a pain in the ****. Do not use IWEs from Amazon.

    Extreme IWE confusion

    Update: Purge valve (in picture) was completely plugged with dirt. Took it out and vacuum tested it, it was leaking by badly. Poured alcohol down it (all I had) and now the valve can open and close and it holds vacuum. Also, the blue ford 2 way check valve was also no good. Replaced with a 7...

    Extreme IWE confusion

    Grinding noise coming from front end. I replaced IWEs like 2 months and air lines are nearly new as well (silicone aftermarket). Quick rundown: 1. Using gauge, determined vacuum system is pulling like 23 inches of pressure on source side of check valve. Doesn't seem to be the issue. 2...

    Moisture Inside Rear Cab After Rain

    I bought the truck with 300,000 km on it and in extremely rough shape. Rear window had been leaking for years and was so bad there was mold growing behind the rear seat.

    Changed out both IWEs. Had some grinding when driving through deep snow in -40°C weather but I don't think they even actually had to be changed out. The nut on the CV axel was super lose on one side so I think it was allowing the IWE and the CV axle to shift apart.

    Moisture Inside Rear Cab After Rain

    My 2012 was leaking through the rear window somehow. It was REALLY leaking. After a weekend of rain the entire truck was filled with water. Pulled the drain plugs on both sides and rammed a bunch of silicon in the top rubber flap thing of the rear window, all the way across. Fixed the issue.
