    Mechanically and Technologically Competent, but New to Cars - Need Suggestions

    Hi All: Thankfully (and hopefully) there are new Raptor owners everyday. I started this thread and thought I would post the mods I have since gone with and some quick thoughts on each. Hopefully it helps someone who was in my shoes not too long ago. Mods are listed in order of install. Pedal...

    Left Turn Signal Blinks to Fast (Sometimes)

    Thanks for the help guys. Fixed it this weekend. Luckily nothing to do with the wires. It was loose; sometimes it would make contact completely and work; sometimes it would not. Every time I looked at the light, it just happened to be making contact. Screwy as when seated the bulb doesn't seem...

    Left Turn Signal Blinks to Fast (Sometimes)

    Thank you all. I will clean or replace the bulbs over the next few days. If that fails, I will come back and ask how I turn off hyper flash with forscan. Thanks!

    Left Turn Signal Blinks to Fast (Sometimes)

    Hi All: Checking in to see if anyone else has this problem. My 2014 Ford Raptor SCREW's left turn signal occasionally (and increasingly often) blinks too fast. All lights on the left turn signal (front, rear and side mirror) all blink too fast when this happens. It's about 2x+ the normal...

    Best exhaust for 2013 screw

    For what it is worth, I just picked up and put on the MagnaFlow side-exit cutback. This kit seemed to be popular on this forum a few years ago but fell off as new entrants came into the market. I almost went with the Corsa, but the price on the Magnaflow made me reconsider. The Magnaflow can be...

    Hi All: I have a 2014 Tuxedo Black Raptor SVT. It's the new family member. On the recommendations contained herein, I picked up a suite of the Adam's Polishes products. Namely the general wash and detail kit and the paint sealant. Can anyone advise me on what the proper application...

    I am in! ---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ---------- Thanks, Bigrig. Very helpful. After our discussion, I did some more looking on exhausts. I found a great deal on the Magnaflow 15588; about ~$570. I really like its deep throaty sound and the...

    Thanks for the thorough response and tips, Bigrig. You are correct that I am in your area. I work in Palo Alto and live in Mountain View. I very much appreciate the offer to lend a hand when working on the truck and the referral to the ROC Group. I will send you a PM regarding your offer of...

    Thanks for the tip. It has the oiled filter. Any tips on how to service it without over oiling it? I bought the AirRaid cleaning kit. Should I just follow those instructions or do you have any suggested deviations? Also, do you have recommendation on when/how often to service it?

    Mechanically and Technologically Competent, but New to Cars - Need Suggestions

    As an update to anyone interested, I installed the Pedal Commander this week, as well as an AirRaid CAI. Each alone is great, but in combination it feels and sounds like a different truck. I really enjoy that beautiful sound the CAI puts out so I think that is my favorite of the two, but the...

    Thanks for the thorough explanation, RDFTS. I picked up the Pedal Commander and installed it tonight. Wow. It certainly makes a difference. Once I get the right setting dialed in, I think I will grow to love it. I also ordered an AirRaid CAI to give a shot and will turn to the exhaust next...

    Thanks, Waddellw. I appreciate the guidance. I might just give throwing a CAI in the truck this weekend (depending on work availability and how quick I can get the parts). Do you run the K&N with the stock tune? At the risk of derailing the thread, I enjoy being an attorney. I am a...

    Thanks, Waddell. Can you tell me which K&N intake you have? Did you notice a significant performance and/or sound improvement. I see the K&N 77 High Flow intake and am wondering if it is worth the cost compare to some lower cost alternatives. ---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ----------...

    Mechanically and Technologically Competent, but New to Cars - Need Suggestions

    Hi All: I just picked up a certified pre-owned 2014 Raptor with the luxury package. It has 30K miles and clean carfax with one owner who only used it for on-road general commuting. Its a great car with no issues but a few visual blemishes (one small, generally unnoticeable dent on the driver...
