    Dealership Forgot to put lug nuts on tire

    GordoJay said it best! It's one thing to get the damaged repaired but your accident free truck now is not. If/ when you go to sell it, you will take a hit on the value do to their mistake. I have seen these sometimes equate to upwards of $10k out of your pocket due to the repoted accident. I am...

    First generation Sync Sucks Balls

    You may want to see if there is an update available for it. I know in the two Ford products I own both SYNC systems needed a software update. You will have to connect it to a WiFi (home WiFi or hot spot) to then force the unit to look for an update. Then you have to download it and install it...

    Coming back to Gen1 with a question

    I have a 2013 Velociraptor, that has a 2.3 liter Roush supercharger at it's core. The modified throttle body, larger intercooler, and modified injectors along with the tune results in ~700 hp. I't's got 35k miles on it and it still runs like its brand new. I have not had any issues with it, is...

    1200 HP TRX???

    As A Gen1 Velociraptor owner I have to comment here. I love mine and have not experienced any of the items this string has mentioned. The upgrade was done over 7 years ago, the Truck is super reliable, will pull almost anything, a blast to drive, 700+ HP and if asked to do it again, I would.

    Oil change after only 1,200 miles???

    Like so many others on this thread, I agree, change the oil. For me as a rule, when I know the car is going to sit for a wile, like during the winter for my sports cars, I always change the oil. Over time the oil breaks down and from my experience, starts to turn acidic (oxidize), even it just...

    Supercharger or not?

    Andrrw, Thank you! I did not do any changes to the braking system, lines or rubber hoses outside of moving some connectors at the wheel hubs. There was a modification to the shocks (King VS Fox) and a different rear leaf spring set up. This is in additional to all of the Hennessey package mods...

    Supercharger or not?

    I just love my 2013 Hennessey Velociraptor! (700 hp 6.2L w/ 2.3L Supercharger). I would not have it any other way. I have no heating/ cooling issues and the thing is an Angry Beast with an Attitude! It was modified from the get go. This baby does 90 Mph everywhere with ease. The only gotcha is...
