Miles do not impact the longevity of the Raptor. Sitting (outside especially) without driving it WILL negatively impact the longevity of many of the moving and electronic components. Raptors tend to hold their value well over time regardless of mileage. Well, without the idiotic scams associated...

Those are great wheels, but the offset puts them a bit too far out for many. If you’re going for the radical though you can get wide-body carbon fenders that’ll cover any tire/wheel that’s runnable. GLWS!

Yeah, I’m 70 going on ~30, so….

Compared to a Superbike, yes…

I heard that’s a lot of fun… Twice the fun if you can find the other. The bike is gutless though. I ride Superbikes for their great gas mileage… My beater bike is an old ‘21 Ducati V4SP. It only has 220 hp with a tick over 200 at the wheel. It’s a heavy **** at a 410lbs full of gas ready to...

Likely cracked valve cover. However it could be several causes. Either clean it up and look for it or take it to a trusted shop, if there is such a thing…

Yep, imagine that!?

That’s always a controversial question! Really, any synthetic API rated SP is good with me. I’m currently running 5w30 SP SuperTech Advanced or Mobile1 Advanced from the local Walmart in all my 4-wheeled vehicles. I also have some Redline 5w40 SN and Motorcraft 5w50 SN for my bikes.

Welcome! Damn, that Bill Knight guy has dealerships all over OK. I bought my 2018 new in OKC from Bob Moore Ford. Paid MSRP for a vehicle for only the second time in my life, but I do love the damn truck even though I hate pickup trucks. Oh yeah, those wheels “may” look cool to you and maybe...

The SPD thermostats are Motorcraft resold with the SPD logo etched on the flange. They’re top quality parts from Ford. The Raptor/SPD tax adds more than a few bucks, but they are the “best” IMO.

Yeah, good analysis. I should have expected the guy who doesn’t understand boost control may be looking absolute pressure vs boost pressure.

Yes, but it isn’t “useful” boost and will destroy the turbo(s) very quickly.

The problem is in the tune. The BOV has nothing to do with any boost value. It opens when you lift throttle to release any pressure in the tubes against the closed throttle plate. Talk to your tuner ASAP. I’ve been thinking as to WHY people think the BOV controls boost. Maybe it was the Indy...

Yes, yes they are. My 2021 is significantly quicker-faster than my Raptor, but I’m on HPTuners with it. Cobb just took too long with too little. HPTuners already has drive mode select (4 options) tuning. You can be stock in Normal and wild race in Sport but only with the same fuel. The previous...

The T6 has much more calcium in it for nasty diesels, which makes it terrible in direct injected engines. Just say no. I have direct experience and two broken engines before the problem was discovered by the aftermarket.
