Any truck that gets used as a work truck, regardless of color of paint, will get thrashed.

What did he do to the paint? Jeez.

Interesting info. Thanks for posting. Not the style of elk hunting I do, so I feel my Raptor is safe from a similar fate as we don't use the trucks to hunt out of camp.

A lot of variables depending on maintenance, such as shock rebuild, plug and wire replacement, etc., and wear & tear such as driver seat condition, etc. in determining it's worth.

Leave it without emptying it in any vehicle and sooner or later it will be full. Usually there is less than an inch in it.

Not a low quality oil in my opinion. Vavoline has been around probably longer than you've been alive. And the owners manual and Raptor supplement do not list synthetic blend in either book.

Gen 1 here. No turbo.

Excellent post. There has always been a little thick amount at the bottom in varying amounts since day 1, no matter when I empty it, even if it's less than 1/2 full. Here in Southern Oregon there is 4 distinct seasons, so we have a wet winter with high humidity. And yes, this truck does do...

Naw, I graduated up to DVD's. I don't jump on the latest fads, ie synthetic oil, woke lingo, Jew bashing, etc.

The oil is fine. I'm not a synthetic person. Been using conventional since the '60's with no issues. But it is getting harder to source the last couple of years since the current government has declared war on the oil industry. For the benefit of others, not me, what do you consider "a good...

4K. Getting close to oil change time.

Vavoline Conventional.

Only works on smart fones. I'm out.

Remember to check your separator catch can like I didn't. It went twice the mileage that I usually check it. It was full and had sludge at the bottom.

$7/gallon in California Voters did it to themselves. Reap what you sow.

Endeavor to persevere.

I say, move on. Most projects, especially wrecks, go way beyond estimates and budgets. Unforseen or hidden additional damage. Also, "I've gone this far, i might as well do this and that while it's apart". Where do you stop; where do you say enough is enough. $100 here, $100 there, it can...

I do not have any suggestions for a fix. Just wanted to report that the remote start works fine on my '14 SCAB with the unit installed.

Maybe. Doesn't mean it's worth $49k.

Yes, but this mid 2023.

Too much. I paid $44k for a '14 SCAB with 23k miles in '18.

I'm referring to the headers not being absolutely flat. The heads are a given that they are flat. Put a straight edge across the headers and see if their is any issue. Also, headers need to be constantly checked for bolt torque especially with the added pressure of the blower.
