    I'm in the Chicago suburbs. Had my Raptor for 6 years and poof my spare was stolen overnight from my own driveway sometime last month. Didn't have a camera on that area just in front of my garage but will from now on. I wasn't aware that this was a problem.

    In-cabin noise reduction!

    I think the Raptor is pretty well insulated from the factory and that is coming from a Lexus owner. I'd like to see real world measurements with an SPL meter on the soundproofing materials and really know how well it works. I once had my cab stuffed with fiberglass insulation rolls (sealed) that...

    One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

    I average 14.0mpg on my 2010 SCAB with 170k miles. I don't think I've reset my gauge in the last 4 years aside from a battery replacement so I assume it's accurate.

    Should I stay away from a 2010 with 170k miles?

    Hey all, I'm the owner of the 2010 Scab. Metal, feel free to call me anytime (847)293-1447. I would have listed on the forum but I haven't met the 50 post minimum. When I bought mine on 2015, it had 90k highway miles and never missed a service at Ford every 5k. I turn my own wrench but also have...

    Replacement trim parts?

    I'm looking to refresh the interior of my 2010 Scab. The buttons for the radio presets, AC and fan buttons are worn. I also want to replace the door to the glove compartment. Where can I find part numbers? I like to price shop and not a fan of the Dealer pricing.

    Sway Bar End Links Replacement Help

    My noises were over small and medium bumps especially at low speeds but I did not have a metallic sound. More like a muffled creak or grinding sound. Do you do much off-roading? Perhaps your rubber bushings are torn and you are hearing metal hitting metal. I would probably start with your end...

    Raptor right for me?

    I drove mine from Chicago to Seattle and back and couldn't have been more comfortable. And that is coming from being a Lexus owner for 10+ years. I was also concerned how I'd do with such a wide truck but after awhile it becomes second nature and now just feels like a car and can out maneuver...

    Buying a 2012 with HIGH miles...Questions

    I've been watching that Raptor on Ebay. Seems like an awesome deal. Lowest price in the country on any 6.2L that I'm aware of and it's a 2012. I have over 120k on my 2010 and it still looks and drives as good as new. I say go for it and drive it forever. You can probably get it for even less as...

    Sway Bar End Links Replacement Help

    For those of you who are not handy like me, this was an easy swap. I used an 18mm open ended wrench on the nut and an 8mm socket at the end of the stem to stop the entire assembly from spinning. 120k miles on my 2010 SCAB and the nuts came off easily with a quick spray of Liquid Wrench and a...

    Sway Bar End Links Replacement Help

    Anyone replace their sway bar links? I have a low speed crunch sound that I'm betting is the end links. Anybody post the procedure with/without pics? I'm a beginner when it comes to repairs, but this seems like a DIY job. I've searched the forum but no luck. Is it just the two nuts on either...

    Hi, just saw your post in the highest mileage forum. I have 106k on my 2010 Scab. Curious what were your tranny problems and what was the solution. I've had a hard upshift from 1-2 when the engine is cold. Also sometimes off from 2-3 and downshifts, especially when the engine is cold. Thanks, Marty

    Fuel Door Issue

    I'm lucky to have small hands. Took time but the housing eventually came off. I followed the tutorial along with a youtube video. I made sure to put a small screw at the bottom of the hinge pin so it will not come loose again. It's been flawless since. I recommend getting it fixed as soon as...

    Power steering pump installed

    The WIX looks very nice. I like the quality of Wix filters. I went with the A-1 CARDONE 20P038F because I buy from Rockauto often. I see that both are avail on Amazon. The A-1 is compact and easy to fit, although I think we have plenty of space in the Raptor to fit any of these.

    Power steering pump installed

    I bought mine from Rockauto. I've been using them on my Lexus cars with 330k+ miles on the original reservoirs. They are usually good for 50k miles and easy to replace. I believe they have a built in bypass in case the filter itself clogs.

    Power steering pump installed

    Excellent, thanks for posting your write up with pics. Have you considered adding an inline ps filter on the return line? Very simple to do and cheap insurance.

    Replacement remote and key

    That should work perfectly, thanks for the link. Did you get a key from them as well? Same as the E-Bay one? Does the Dealer need to also program the key itself?

    Goodyear Duratrac's or something else?

    I'm planning on having dedicated snow tires mounted on OEM wheels for winter here in Chicago and just had an interesting conversation with Tire Rack. The guy is saying that Duractracs are not true snow tires, even with the snowflake, because they lack a rubber compound, blah blah blah. They have...
