    A++ for Bulldog82

    This gentleman in Georgia is awesome to deal with. I bought a bumper from him and it was packaged very well. Buy with confidence.

    Claims of Raptor Being Too Wide

    The only time I wish I am driving something else is when I am in Annapolis near the Academy. There's almost nowhere to park and the one garage is limited at 6'

    well, thats tight against the body - certainly an option for those that don't want to cut the frame.

    After 1 year of ownership, likely no better vehicle.

    Absolutely would drive it daily even if I had won the lottery - 17K on my 18 after 13 months. I will buy another in a few years as long as Ford keeps making them.

    Gen 2 Blown Motor: Advice

    Anything that touches oil either is cleaned or recycled if you cant guarantee its cleaned. I've totally disassembled oil pumps and other parts like that and meticulously cleaned them to save $ but parts like oil coolers are disposable. You can never guarantee that they are free of debris. Its...

    Gen 2 Blown Motor: Advice

    Ive gone through plenty of race engines to know this. It's not as simple as when metal comes in contact with metal and the shavings that result take a straight path to the oil filter and do not pass go. They flow around in the cam journals, rod bearings, piston rings, cam timing solenoids, main...

    Gen 2 Blown Motor: Advice

    If there was metal in the oil filter then I wouldn't accept any notion of shortblock, you need the whole deal, turbos and all. If its like the 6.4 Powerstroke, I believe FORD parts requires you even replace the intercooler when replacing that entire engine to engage warranty on the replacement.

    B&O add aftermarket sub

    There's no such thing as too much. Im not following your comment about firewalling the power wire. Are you talking about just getting the wire from the front to the back. If that's the case just get creative. Hell drill a hole if you have to and grommet it. Im going to try to write up a...

    B&O add aftermarket sub

    Someone would be a rockstar in my eyes if they would publish detailed info on what to do to get earth shattering bass in a 2018 B&O 802A truck without buying the freaking 800+ dollar interface. I just want to put a box under my back seat with a few JL 12 subs and add a dedicated sub amp and...

    GEN 2 Undercoating

    Search on here for threads about Amsoil MPHD - you'll find a thread that was super popular buy a guy (Unfortunately he passed away) and I can't remember his name. He did an amazing job of scientifically testing all the products on the market. MPHD has been on my truck since it was about 2 weeks...

    2019 order guide.

    All I can think of is how nasty that alecantra blue fabric will be in a few years. I love how it looks but being the owner of an STI previously I know how that stuff wears. BL wheels are a new design and Im not in love with it. My 18 BL wheels still look OK to me.
