Thanks for the info guys. There definitely is a screen that comes up to select which sensors are active. I always leave them all active unless my dog is in the car (and I remember to turn the internal sensors off).

Over the weekend my truck was broken into smash and grab style. The truck was parked on the street in front of my house, and it doesn't appear that the alarm ever sounded. They attempted to break into the truck through the front passenger window (which was facing the street) and were...

I ordered mine without it. I didn't think I'd use it, and figured I'd use that money for other things. The cabin on the SCREW is huge compared to my other vehicles (corvette, Evo X) so I already feel like there is too much light coming in lol. I need to get it tinted. That being said if you...

It's still used at that point. Not really much point in comparing used to new. Used is obviously cheaper. Not sure why you would have to build something out of a used 5.0L mustang to beat a GT350 when you could just go buy a C6 Z06 for $35k. Also keep in mind, in your example, the GT350...

I would assume that your insurance rate will go down greatly if you park the hellcat and drive a raptor over the winter. My raptor is about 30% less per year than the corvette stingray that I traded in for it. And I have to believe that the hellcat is higher than the stingray given the number...

Rain doesn't hurt it in any way. You don't have to cover it in any way. Think marine carpet designed to get wet. It's not fabric, it's a thermoplastic as far as I know.

I did finish my install mid week last week but have yet to take any pictures. Used the raptorlights kit and 2 pairs of squadron pros (one spot, one wider cornering). Made my own wiring harness and put weatherpack connectors on all of the hot leads from the switches. Also found out that in my...

I drilled a weep hole in my oil pan... so I just top it off daily... usually takes about 3.5 quarts every morning. Garage floor is getting really slippery...

While I don't disagree that you can build a more capable truck than the raptor for the price paid (mine was 66,2xx @ MSRP), I think some of your numbers and logic are a bit off. First of all, the poverty spec lariat is 47.5k in a SCREW w/ the v8. However, if you load it out the same way an...

That's the thing, to my understanding they aren't going through the switches. They are already hooked up with a relay from the switch and a fuse. They are just undersized. I don't mind running a relay, but ford was supposed to already do that work. It's also a 220amp alternator to my knowledge.

I have one as well... I'm not sure he knows that he's only supposed to shed half as much... He blows his coat twice a year... for about 6 months each time... On an thread related note - is anyone running the BD rock lights? I want to add rock lights (primarily for light around camp) and I'm...

Thanks for the info. I'm wiring up 2 sets of squadron pros and a set of KC highlights. I was going to put them on 3-5, but maybe I'll just put them on 1-3, use 4 for a reverse set of squadron pros, and use relays for switch 5-6 for other things. Really would love to know why the heck they...

Not to detail the thread... but is that a klee kai under your truck, or a small husky?

Going to be wiring up some lights in a few days and I just wanted to verify that these gauges are correct (I was going to put weatherpack terminals on all of them). Isn't the above wiring a bit small (20awg for 15 amps)?

My dometic DC fridge draws ~50-55 watts running 1 compartment as a fridge (at 34F) and the other as a freezer (at 0F). That's when the compressor is running (so about 4.5 amps). I don't think that there is a DC fridge made that will pull more than 7-8 amps when the compressor is running. They...

I don't really like the break feel either honestly. It's not enough to annoy me, but I came from a stingray and still have an Evo X. I'm used to a totally different break feel. The brakes seem to work just fine, but the feel is often poor.

M-racks makes a pretty good looking one. https://shop.m-racks.com/store/09-14-Ford-F150-Raptor-Crew-p90736972

Out of curiosity, how much are they shipped to 30014 (feel free to send me a quote via PM).

Per their shipping weights: 145 for the base rack, 85 for the tire carrier add-on, and 65 for the roof rack add-on (total of 295lbs). Assuming you just relocate the spare, no additional weight for that (or about 100lbs ish if you add another OEM spec spare). Not including light bars and such...

I'm still doing a bunch of research, but I'm leaning towards using GBS LiFeMnPO4 cells. 4x 200Ah cells in a 4S configuration weigh ~55lbs and measure ~20" x 5.5" x 10". 4x 100Ah cells in 4S weigh ~28lbs and measure ~11" x 5.5" x 10". I likely will run a BMS (or some sort of protection...

Totally agree with this. I had never tried ACC before buying my raptor. I was on the fence as to whether or not I would order the tech package, but eventually I did (since I was already going 802A). I drove my truck 1,100 miles from my dealer back home (over two days). I didn't use the ACC...

I'm actually in the planning process of putting a smallish LiFePO4 battery bank (probably 200AH or so) under the back seats in my SCREW. I'm putting a cap on the bed and have a dometic DC fridge to go back there. Will be putting some of the low profile 80 or 100 watt flexible solar panels on...

I passed on the sunroof too. I like them occasionally, especially in cars that have smaller cabins. I didn't want to deal with any future problems, and TBH, the cabin on the screw is already huge and lets in a ton of light, so I don't miss it. I rarely used the targa top on my stingray, and I...

When I picked mine up from the dealer on Saturday, the tires were all at 42psi. I put about 1100 miles on it driving it home, and the ride was great. I'll try lowering them to 36-38psi this week and see if I notice a difference.

So I picked up my 18 Screw yesterday from my dealer in NY and drove it back to PA. It had been sitting at their lot for about a week before I was able to get it. Ordered 6/12 and Arrived at dealer 8/18. Also, for good measure, with 29 miles on the clock I stopped at the first rest stop to...
