    Question on tpms

    OBDLink MX + OBD Fusion In the event anybody on the forum is looking for some closure on this topic, and prefers a much more expensive option to the $5 tire pressure gauge, it is possible. I have the OBDLink MX WiFi scanner connected to an iOS device. The OBD Fusion app with the 2014 Ford...

    Pay It Forward Thread

    Appreciate the kind words...you are very welcome. Glad to see you have already put it back to use. Me and my neurosis completed the same install today.

    Raptor rear ended

    Your insurance company will not be party to this (although, I understand the at-fault driver has the same insurance). It is a tort liability of the at-fault driver. Most motor vehicle accident attorneys are not very interested in diminished value claims, simply because most are not high enough...

    My 2013 Scab is a paper weight

    I've done far too much research on this lately (but thankfully, my truck was deemed a total loss in the end). In most states, the diminished value claim goes against the at-fault party - whose insurance company would then field it on their behalf. The statute of limitations varies by state. I...

    NEW 2014's available?

    Having just picked up a new Ruby Red SE one to replace my wrecked one, I can tell you that there are very few of that color new at dealerships in the nation. I believe the dealer locator of 1,200 dealers showed 2, per my local sales manager. Autonation.com and Cars.com had a few more, if you...

    Raptor Served a Greater Purpose Yesterday

    As you can imagine, I can only swap and remove things that result in it being equivalent to stock... as that is the basis for the total loss fair market value and expected salvage value. I'm thinking that missing headlights may be a bit noticeable and not quite meet that requirement.

    Raptor Served a Greater Purpose Yesterday

    Quick update... USAA has treated me well, as most expected. Because of the high salvage value and significant diminished value if repaired, they have agreed to declare it a total loss. After much more consideration since the accident, I had decided that I would replace it with a new one...

    Raptor Served a Greater Purpose Yesterday

    Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. The verdict is in from the initial inspection...it is alive! Clearly, everything is subject to change once it is stripped down and lined up...but the going-in estimate is in the $16k range. Thanks to the winter season, I now play the waiting game until...

    Raptor Served a Greater Purpose Yesterday

    Wish I had taken a pic, but I forgot my phone at home (figures). The front was absolutely destroyed. It emptied all of its fluids as a last sign. ---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ---------- USAA for me. Geico for the driver at fault. I've only...

    Raptor Served a Greater Purpose Yesterday

    I was tearing up seeing it in the impound lot, and had very limited space to work with...but I tried to get a couple pics underneath. The support bracket for the running board made a 90 degree downturn. It is being towed to the bodyshop this afternoon to wait for the insurance adjuster. I...

    Raptor Served a Greater Purpose Yesterday

    This may only be the second thread I have started, but after yesterday morning, I feel like my raptor earned the honor. A Ford Ranger ran through a red light, probably doing 45-50mph at the time, and t-boned my baby. As sad as it is to see the damage, I am extremely thankful for three...

    Problems with iPhone connecting

    Reset Phone Settings When iOS 8 came out, I had the same issue across my Fords. Even after the fix releases by Apple, I still had issues. What then seemed to be the generally recommended resolution was to reset the network settings on my phone (Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset Network...

    have you stripped your lower skid plate bolts?

    Did the same thing this weekend with one bolt the front skid plate. Was just finishing torquing the last bolt and I heard the snap. I like to consider it a problem for later right now...as it is on there good. I will undertake the battle to remove it whenever that time comes.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Got acquainted with how to change a tire on my relatively new raptor. I was passing a semi and some debris flew out and sliced up my left rear tire. Thankfully, it didn't blow out, but took less than a minute to be completely flat. I'm not suicidal enough to change a tire myself on an...

    '14 SCAB OEM Fox Shocks - 500 Miles

    Hopefully some advice on what to do...

    Special order just means it is a retail order and not a stock order. They need an allocation from Ford to build any order. See if you can get a confirmation from the zone rep from Ford, either directly or with the dealer. Your order will just sit in limbo in the order banks until the dealer's...

    Wheel locks for 2014 SE wheels

    I'm curious as well. I've seen the gorilla and sdhq ones referenced in searches I have done, but I seem to recall some challenges with them (chipping paint, rusting, broken key).

    Prospective Buyer in New Mexico....Any Advice?

    Welcome. I think the two trucks serve very different purposes. I can say this...the Raptor's specialty is putting a smile on the driver's face.
