I feel like we should get a couple popular ideas and have a vote. Id like to make something everyone could benefit from. I like the forums on here and the community of Raptor owners.
I have been itching to get into some kind of project lately, specifically on my Raptor. Im not much of a fan for buying parts and bolting them on so Im looking to do something unique, something no one else wants to tackle......
I figured id make a post to see what you guys have to say. I am...
So I think I could do a retrofit......it doesn't look like it would be impossible. However, after looking at the time and cost it would take. I just don't personally have the downtime with my truck to figure it all out. My raptor is my daily driver so its making the mod a little to far out of...
Need to be a little more specific with that one, some pictures could help......there are a lot of wires these days in a car.
What connector does it go to?
Looks like Im not the only one who would like electric steering lol.
The biggest problem doing a EPAS retro fit is power and space.....I can usually find a box strong enough to turn any set of wheels. Supplying it with power and making it all fit under the dash or in the engine compartment can...
I have done a few electrical assisted steering installs on other cars, I have been meaning to try and get one in my raptor but I haven't had the downtime yet to figure all the details out.
I need to crunch some numbers and get all my math right and then find a box that will get the job done...
You might of had some kind of momentary PATS issue.
A full tank on a small incline shouldn't cause a no start.
If its happens again look for the flashing PATS light on the dash.
Overall your alignment looks pretty good. Factory specs always like to add a small amount of positive toe. However, I prefer to get my toe as close to 0 as possible. The positive toe is usually to help compensate for toe in and toe out while turning, but this causes some wear in straight line...
I dont believe that they have changed.....could be wrong though. I would recommend doing some research. And if you want to be a badass make it electric, thats the future.
Not to be the jerk pointing out mistakes but you want a .5 stagger on your caster with the higher side being on the right if you want it pull left for road crown.
Feel free to post up your alignment print out, Id like to take a look at it if its still an issue.....
The most common issues I have encountered are things like dome lights, glove box lights, and after market accessories staying on when the key is turned off. Many times people mistakenly hook accessories up to B + instead of KEY ON.
I know you said your not electrically inclined, however, an...
