    Fuel guage errors between 3/4 and 1/2 tank

    Can't find a thread on this so may be this is a new one. A couple weeks back, I swapped my battery out for a new one. Well, since then, the truck registers an incorrect fuel reading if I start driving with 1/2 to 3/4 of a tank. At the moment I crank it up, it seems to have an accurate fuel...

    Travel to Houston in May

    Though popular among a lot of people, DO NOT go to Extreme Offroad and Performance in Katy.

    Will Ford make a 2015 Raptor?

    My guess is that the next gen Raptor is still in development but, may be close to production. Keep in mind that we didn't see the GT500 until the 2007 model year when the S197 Mustangs came out for 2005. The current Raptor came out in late 2009, a little more than a year after the current...

    Looks like the dealer charged me for brake work that was never done.

    So the dark lady went in for a 60k mile check up about a year ago (April 2013). During that service, they noticed the right front rotor was scored badly and recommended resurfacing the rotor and replacing pads. As a matter of habit, I have never liked the idea of cutting rotors (thinner...

    One-touch-up/-down feature on front passenger-side window

    I forgot to mention, there's also the issue of the fact the '11 SCrew tested the boundaries of my marriage. I spent three weeks on the couch as a result of its acquisition. Not going through that again.

    One-touch-up/-down feature on front passenger-side window

    I'm rather fond of my '11 SCrew...I could go for a '14 Special Edition but, I like my truck and I haven't really warmed up to the new body-style just yet. I'll have to see it in Raptor trim if it happens at all.

    One-touch-up/-down feature on front passenger-side window

    As the thread title might suggest, I've got a problem with the One-touch-up/-down feature on front passenger-side window. I did a search in the forums but, didn't find a solution that worked. I know there's a way to initialize the motors and reset the these features to deal with the occasional...

    TSB 13-6-8 Transmission

    Turns out this was EXACTLY what was wrong with my truck. Dealer called a few hours ago and said they should have the truck ready tomorrow. Only difference is, my truck would suddenly throw the code while in motion. I was driving along at 70mph when it kicked down a gear and the display went...

    TSB 13-6-8 Transmission

    Don't know how I missed this but this is EXACTLY what's going on with my truck! I'm in 2011 with just over 74,000 miles and started doing this over the weekend. Thanks!

    Instruments cut out and truck went into "limp home" mode

    Driving home from the parental units' residence at around 74,060 miles or so and 70mph, the truck gave me a disturbing shudder as it abruptly kicked down to 5th gear and showed a big yellow wrench on the Vehicle Infomation screen. Hit OK and immediately lost the speedometer, odometer (you read...

    Parts Manual, Owners Manual, Service Schedule, and Warranty

    $1,300 later, all fluids have been swapped/flushed, MAF and injectors cleaned, tires rotated, the front rotors turned, new pads installed, and the truck washed. My ass is a little sore though.

    Parts Manual, Owners Manual, Service Schedule, and Warranty

    Thanks for the bump and the advice. That's in line with my thinking but, it's based on my experience with my old Dodge. Not sure if the tranny was flushed when the valve body gave out last year at just under 35,000 but, I may have them flush it anyway. Anybody had a quote for swapping the plugs?

    Parts Manual, Owners Manual, Service Schedule, and Warranty

    Taking "Darkness" in for 60.000 mile service this weekend. May be I'm slow but, the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual is a little confusing to me. Can anyone just give me a straight up list of what services need to be performed on 2011, 6.2L trucks at 60K miles? I already know my...

    Raptor’s Hood and Front Fenders?

    Positive. I've got two big rock dings in the hood and can clearly see the composite material underneath. Your circuit is working specifically because you're hooked to that grounding cable. I'm not saying there's not a metal form back there where the hinges attach to the hood but, if you take...

    Border Patrol Raptor Spotted

    I think those purchased by DHS (border patrol) and other federal agencies are the only ones with cloth seats. But when you're buying 30-40 vehicles at a time, you tend to have more stroke than the average buyer in dictating what you want done with the truck. FWIW, since I've been...

    miles on your raptor

    Took delivery of my 2011 on January 8, 2011. Hit 58,000 miles on the way to the office this morning.

    highest mileage?

    Mine is an '11 SCrew I bought in January of 2011. I'm at 56,800 as of this morning. May be pushing 57,500 by the end of the week.

    Raptor Sightings/Spotting (on the road or parked)

    I see that truck over on FM 1463 almost weekly. There are a BUNCH of Raptors out in the Katy/Cinco-Ranch area.

    Extended Warranty - Yes or No??

    If you're keeping the truck 'til the wheel fall off or you're like me an put a ton of miles on it before it's even two years old, then I'd consider it. I did the 100k extended warranty and it saved me from having to buy a new wiper motor and paying for the install at 55,000 miles. Instead, it...

    VelociRaptor 600 Raptor burnt to ashes...

    You'll have to learn to be impatient like me and just skip to the end and then read backward if it looks interesting.

    Size Comparison

    Was thinking something closer to John Holmes preparing to mount Jenna Haze.

    Size Comparison

    This almost makes me miss my Dodge. Had an '03 Hemi Heavy Duty that was roughly the same length as the Raptor...May be a tad shorter actually. But after getting the Raptor, I think I only put another 100 miles on the Dodge before I sold it six months later.

    Border Patrol Raptor Spotted

    A few things... This, if you ain't military you ain't shit attitude is bullshit. The comment about "mexicans" equally stupid and highly offensive. Furthermore, it sounds as if you've never been anywhere near the US Mexico border, know nothing of the topology of land at any given point, and...

    Border Patrol Raptor Spotted

    I think TexasDPS has similar boats but, they've hung a dozen or so m240s and m249s off of them for use of the Rio Grande.
