    JDM Tune vs. 5 Star Tunes: A Comparative Review.

    I should have been more clear in my original post, so I appreciate you clarifying :waytogo:

    JDM Tune vs. 5 Star Tunes: A Comparative Review.

    I've heard good things about the Sprint Booster. May check it out. Yes, 100% it was just the increased pedal response. I doubt it leads to much more performance, which is why I only wanted to speak on the feel alone. Could likely get the same feel with the Sprint Booster, though I really like...

    JDM Tune vs. 5 Star Tunes: A Comparative Review.

    Jeff was the first person I contacted about a tune. It's unfortunate that they no longer offer their tune, would have loved to check it out. Agreed, that is a nice bonus! It is a bit frustrating flashing a different tune, then waiting for the truck to adapt. I love that the JDM is just a one...

    JDM Tune vs. 5 Star Tunes: A Comparative Review.

    Hi everyone, the goal of this thread is to give my insight into the tunes offered by JDM and 5 Star. As these are two of the most popular tuning options for the 6.2L Raptor, I figured a personal review of both options would be beneficial to the community. First, I want to mention that I have...

    37 Nitto mts on, pinch welds trimmed

    Looks awesome! Once my 35's wear out, I'm going the 37's route.

    5 Star 87 economy tune worse than stock?

    From my understanding, it only takes a few hundred miles for the truck to fully adapt. Since you drove 1k miles, I would expect it to have adapted to the new tune. You could continue to run the economy tune for a while and see if MPG's improve. I have never ran the economy tune from 5 star, just...

    5 Star 87 economy tune worse than stock?

    Same here. I've been running the 5 star tune for a few months, and it just got really annoying. Went back to my stock tune this week. Personally their customer service has been decent, and they did a revision for me. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell much of a difference after the revision. Spoke...

    Loud Chirping Front Drivers Side Suspension

    Yeah, it may just be the bearing, but it doesn't occur on the passenger side, which is strange. I'll check the spring isolator tab as well. I appreciate the suggestion!

    Loud Chirping Front Drivers Side Suspension

    Damn, hope the issue is resolved soon. I don't have any clunking, and I can't hear the chirping at all when the window is up, nor do I feel anything type of clunk. Just driving with the window down gets annoying because of the noise. My bushings were replaced with spherical bearings when I had...

    Loud Chirping Front Drivers Side Suspension

    Hey guys, I've been trying to track down this loud chirping metallic sound I am getting from my front drivers side suspension. It only happens when I go over a very large bump, or over potholes which makes my suspension compress/decompress quickly. The sound is isolated to the front drivers...

    6.2 ROUSH VS Corsa Extreme

    Corsa Extreme all the way. It's very loud on cold start and WOT, and pretty much no drone at all. It's the best of both worlds: insane volume and wife proof :)

    Opinions on Forged Offroad shock rebuild

    I just installed the rebuilt shocks through FO's replacement program, and I could not be happier! After I placed my order, the shocks showed up on my porch in less than a week. Their communication was quick and effective. So far the shocks are significantly better than my original setup. My...

    GPS/CLOCK not working

    Bumping this as I am having a similar issue. However, GPS diagnostics say that I am connected to two satellites, my satellite radio works, and the map works, but says I'm about 40 miles in a different place. However, my clock just shows dashes and I keep getting the "no gps" icon. I did a...

    s/c installer nor cal

    VT Motorworks in Pleasanton is arguable the best shop in Northern California. The builds that they have done are nuts. The owner has a Gen 1 raptor and does all my work. Give them a call and they’ll take care of you.
