    IWE Vacuum Hose Replacement

    I’m sure you could make your own customized tubing runs with connectors but I imagine it will require a lot more time to install vs popping in a BL3Z-7A785-B with a few mods.

    As it worked out, my neighbor is the Director of Parts for all the dealerships in my area, and he confirmed none of the original OEM vacum line assembly AL3Z-7A785-E for 2010’s were available anywhere. He said their service techs have had to make alterations to the vacuum tube assembly from...

    Trans leak, CEL on

    I have a 2010 6.2 and recently had low speed rotational noises developing that were not present before I replaced all my shocks after having them rebuilt. Finally dialed in on the diagnosis that my IWE vacum lines were not holding vacum and the half shafts engaged were causing the noise. After...

    Now Obsolete: IWE vacuum line assembly

    Thanks, I wish to keep my iwe system operational and suspected that short of recreating it with copper or copper nickel brake lines, going with new vacuum tubing, Tees and zip clips would be a logical fix. I’m glad to hear that others have done it this way with success. I agree the rubber...

    Now Obsolete: IWE vacuum line assembly

    Ok, I diagnosed the cause of some low speed rotational noise as likely related to the IWE actuators not receiving sufficient vacuum. My 2010 has just 70k but being in AZ the excessive heat ruins plastics over time. I had just had a complete shock rebuild done and while replacing the fronts I...

    Bull Ring Tie Down install instructions for 5.5ft beds

    Ok after numerous research attempts on here and other forums I was less than impressed by some of the techniques used to install these particular tie downs, where cutting of the 5.5ft bed rail was required. I installed mine today and found it was really prudent to match the shim thickness and...

    Checking in from Tucson, It finally happened

    Hi all, I picked up my mint condition 2010 Raptor on Monday and must admit I am pretty pleased. Most of my previous 4 wheeling/rock crawling has been while hunting the back country out west with my trusty and fully offroad modified 1978 Scout II SS. That has been my rig for 32 years and it's...
