FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! One less concern and that was a big one for me. Ok so my apologies OP and all for having that wrong as a concern with this engine.

Is it behind the timing cover? It sounds like you are saying no. Can't say I've looked and certainly don't want to spread misinformation if this engine is not susceptible to the catastrophic failure some 3.5L engines have when coolant is able to leak into the oil. It would be outstanding if...

FWIW I just went through this. You didn't say if this is a daily driver for you or a toy so hard to gauge your annual miles which would potentially change what I'm about to say. I'm daily driving. Less miles these days but still probably 12-15k annually. If it's a toy and/or you don't have a...

Maybe take it in is the right answer but thought I'd check first. I see some other posts but theirs don't look like this. Not sure how to truly check but this appears to be oil coming from the rear shock which isn't usually a good sign. Out of my element with these fox shocks and this shroud...

Got it! Ok, I'll do that. Thanks! These lights are all white (no amber) and it sounds more and more like they are cheap Chinese lights so I don't think there will ever be a time when I want just one or two lights that I would not just want all three on at the same time so I do not need...

You got it. There are actually two relays up near the battery but I already made a mess of this thread so I figured I would keep it simple. Three light wires need to connect to a source power wire and five ground wires need to be connected together. Whatever the right approach is to those two...

Here's one with labels. That should say Driver Side but I was moving too fast. :)

Here is one where you can see the thicker red wires coming down from the relay and the thicker black wire also coming from the relay getting joined to the passenger side lights.

I stand corrected. There’s actually only four wires to join together. Digging in more this morning there is a relay up near the battery. What comes down from up there is one ground wire and two power wires so there is one power wire for each side of the truck. Each light on the passenger side...

I like these solder seal connectors but they look like they are for one wire connecting to another. I have a power wire from each of the three fog lights on a side, a power wire leading over to the other side for those lights, and a power wire coming from the source. So five wires need to be...

Ah good to know. If they don't hold up I'll be in the market for non-cheap Chinese lights.

I believe it's corroded or coming loose or something like that. If I jiggle or pinch just the positive wire I'll get some to come on. Just worth a redo to fix it correctly. On the driver side if may well be the ground because if I use a multimeter the positive wire does have voltage. It's...

Fog lights on my new to me raptor don't work very well. If I move the butt connectors around some light up so, one side doesn't work at all. I'm going to redo the wiring to these. The pic isn't great and you can't see all of the wires going into the connectors very well but there are quite a...

My most recent was an S4 which was actually great on mpg, even tuned, but couldn't hold a candle to that S8. All relative I guess. I'll whine about buying a truck just as oil barrels double in price (since election) and may well double again but I wouldn't trade it for the world. This thing...

LOL, touché! My past three cars have been white so primer grey is a step forward.
