@Bozz you have been on the MIA list for a while now, welcome back.

It is starting to look like an inside job, not ready to give the name just yet. On the night of the breakins my son in law noticed that the lighting in the secure parking garage had changed and was not as bright as the night before and was so obvious that he made a remark to my daughter about...

The name is irrelevant as I have a pic from three weeks prior of an F150 on the highway in San Antonio with no tail lights so go f--k yourself.

A few pics of the carnage.

Every F150 in the parking garage of the hotel where my daughter was staying had their tail lights stollen over the weekend even if they were backed up to the wall.

If doing a flush all you need is fluid and lots of it. If dropping the pan, the gasket is reuseable unless damaged.

I tried the tankless water heater when they first came out in the early 80's. Went through three units in five years so I gave up on this technology. It was powered by two 220 circuits and cost a small fortune to operate, was for a kitchen sink and a dishwasher only.

I've had the Duraflap fronts on my G1 RaptoR since new(10+yr), they have held up well and won't break the bank. https://duraflap.com/product/15-current-f150-f/

A target rich inviroment is what a thief looks for so leave nothing in the cab. A lot of this going on in this terrible economy right now, #FJB.

Part of being a DIYer is knowing where to draw the line, some things need to be handled by the professionals. Having the proper tools amd experience are needed to do the job in a timely manner. I don't mind paying for expertise if the job gets done correctly.

Sounds like the R is right there with the Gen 1. My trip to Topeka, Ks and back last week, 5 hr each way. I had a head wind going and a tail wind on the way back, did 5 over on the way there(mostly 80 mph), on the way back did the speed limit(mostly 75). Averaged 11.3 on the way there and 15.6...

I just bought the BL3Z-7A785-B for my 2014 to have just in case and it was only $51.xx shipped. If you can get the AL3Z for a reasonable price I would jump on it otherwise get the BL3Z and make it work. These things are becoming obsolete so you don't have much choice.

If this is for home use mostly I recomend the low profile 3 ton long reach jack and the 6 ton jackstands from harbor freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-long-reach-low-profile-professional-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-orange-64241.html

I guess you won't be posting about strange noises coming from somewhere on the Raptor, that's one less bingo slot for you. Hearing loss can be a curse or a blessing, depends on how one looks at it and what range it's in. I'm 75 and my wife is convinsed that I just can't hear the female voice...

I had to read it three times so shame on you for the next 30 minutes.
