So it's been a few thousand miles since I installed my oil separator. Just like everybody else, it's caught a hefty amount of black oil that otherwise would've made its way back around. I consider this a solid investment.

Late pile-on to original post, yeah I had a similar juke pulled on me by Sunrise Ford in LA. They shook my hand on a decent price on a Saturday (MSRP +$8k, about as good as it gets), signed all the paperwork, made a $1k down payment on my credit card (seemed smart, and it was), etc. It was...

If you look closely, you'll see a golf cart in this photo.

This is all really eye opening for me. I'm just 26 so the teenage years aren't far behind me, but true to RaptorWifey's philosophy my first car was a '93 Civic stick shift (thanks entirely to Dad). It probably had 50 hp in that 4-banger, which was perfect for a 16 y/o. I remember being jealous...

Just installed mine tonight, looking forward to results. My truck only has 2.8k miles on it so I didn't bother with the seafoam cleaning.

I think this is interesting! It's like a rough draft of what to expect in 2016's rumored Raptors. The MPGs resulting from a retrofitted ecoboost + raptor bits answers a lot of what-ifs at the gas pump, and apples/oranges comparisons between the 6.2L and alleged high-output/low-cost motors. This...

Not missing out on this. This is Bravery Brewing's Smoking Gun porter. They're a small brewing company out here in Palmdale CA co-founded by R Lee Ermey that makes some pretty aggressive stuff. If you see their stuff on tap, give it a try!

Andy Mohr Ford, Indianapolis IN: Where I flew to buy my truck. Honest, to-the-point salesmen and great finance department too. I told them I only wanted to talk bottom line costs and APR, and that is all we talked about until I was satisfied. This was my first new car and they made it painless...

I got my truck back yesterday afternoon. It was ready last Friday, but I left work too late to make the pick up. The frustration started with the amazingly clueless people answering the service phone. The voicemail I was left said they "topped off" the coolant and I just wanted to know if they...

Macf, absolutely and I'd love to. I'll hold until the story is over, but so far I couldn't ask for better treatment. Crystal, sure thing and thank you for the follow up. I'll send you a PM one way or the other.

Post up what you find. My jeep cracked its cylinder head thanks to a fast leak from a dealer-installed water pump, and it dumped coolant into the cylinders. Obviously one look at the oil answered the question, but for a while coolant was vanishing. Not a fan of coolant mysteries.

The flatbed tow arrived on time and I followed it to the local dealer, AV Ford. They gave it a look and said it should be done tomorrow. They promised me an engine bay cleaning and full responsibility. Two techs came out to admire it, and one was shocked at that hose. So far this is going well...

What a punch in the gut, right? An engine overtemp could potentially cripple it. Thanks y'all, the opinions help. MobileBeats yeah this stops the fun train dead in its tracks. Yukon Joe and CoronaRaptor, seems like the good ol' car maintenance your dad teaches you never goes bad! So I called...

Can do! It's first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully that member will catch this one too, I could use some reassurance. I'm going to lose it if there's damage from a loose hose. Btw, nice color! I've noticed there aren't many terrains around.

Wouldn't you know it! I join FRF and the next day I get my first Raptor malfunction. So my Tacoma-driving friend wanted to drive around some steep hills near our houses and it would be the first non-asphalt driving my truck has done (it's only got 2.5k miles!). Not even halfway into it I get a...

Looks like that's for sale on another thread.

Thanks y'all! I've spent my morning reading over the TSB threads. RDFTS, thanks! Finding terrain scab was freaking ridiculous, and I was pretty hesitant to buy one used out here near LA; lots of these flat-bill, tank top bros don't really know what they're doing and I don't want to find surprise...

Here's some photo evidence. Freshly purchased in Indianapolis, then home in garage (barely).

Welcome, from another new guy here in Palmdale!

Hey! I have a standing desert race challenge from a friend in a ~'12 Tacoma TRD. I'm looking forward to bragging about that on here later. I have another buddy with a ~'00 Silverado on some long-legged King suspension. He'll be a more difficult challenge.

F*n New Guy living in the Mojave north of the LA mountains in CA. I searched high and low for a SCab terrain, but had no luck. I made a down payment on one in northern LA at the end of July, but it got sold out from under me and I was back to square one. Finally one popped up in Indianapolis, so...
