    GEN 1 What is this?

    Same here. It sounds like the truck will fall apart at any moment. I did find that my tuned mass damper (mentioned earlier) is pretty dang floppy. I zip tied it down to the frame best I can but I'm not confident it is tight enough and I still get the sound. If I stop being lazy some day I'll get...

    GEN 1 What is this?

    I don't think there's a bolt between tthem. I know there's a hole but I see no wear from a bolt that fell out and if you look real close it looks like theres a tac weld that connects them. You'll see a little circular irregularity on the metal where it overlaps and on mine they are connected by...

    Dang, in all my research I never came across that. I'll check it out thanks.

    GEN 1 What is this?

    Good luck! For several months now I've been trying to locate a horrendous rattle when going over bumps, unsuccessfully. I don't know how far in the process you are, but here are some things I learned and tried over the months: Locating the area of rattles through open cab windows is very...

    GEN 1 What is this?

    Given it wraps up on top of and around the sides of the front driveshaft flange, which is right next to a hot cat & transmission, I'd assume it's a heat shield. I'm looking in the Motorcraft Service manual but I don't see it. I see the front driveshaft, but it doesn't show the shield. At any...

    GEN 1 Any Info On 2013 Heater Core Replacement?

    Does anyone know where I can find info on replacing the heater core on a 2013 Raptor? I can't find anything on FRF or the Googles. My truck started overheating today and is burning through coolant pretty quickly. Smells like coolant in the cab, I can see steam coming through the cab's vents...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Just finished putting on 4x Forged Offroad shock rebuilds (flutter stack and stage 1 offroad valving), but now I'm getting a rotational rubbing noise when I load the driver's side (right turn). I crawled under the truck but I don't see any obvious signs of rubbing. Any thoughts what that could...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Weird, no I don't have that on mine, just checked, they're at 17 32nds all across the tread. AND I just noticed even though I told Discount to put them at 39 they put them at 45. Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I run them at 39. I haven't noticed anything, but I haven't really paid attention. I'll inspect them closer today. Also, I just got back from a road trip to Missouri. I bought six email tunes from 5Star for the trip, wanted to run the economy tune on my way there. For the first 100 miles or so...

    Fox 3.0 Remotes

    I'm having the same problem. Sounds like a horrid metallic rattle when driving over even the smallest bumps. I thought for sure it was my trailer hitch, but its not. So far I tried: -Removing trailer hitch -Shimming the exhaust tip (thinking it may have been banging against the bedside)...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    New tires (37 BFG KM3s). Rebuilt shocks on order with Forged Offroad. Ordered the flutter stack and stage 1 offroad valving. I've been getting lots of feedback in the steering wheel and it just doesn't feel like the old Raptor I once had. But I'm also a noob and let it go 118K miles with no...

    **moved to correct 6.2 forum** 2013 Raptor - Engine / Performance Issue

    Not sure, but since you're listing parts to throw at it, fuel injectors? Do you run high octane or occasionally put injector cleaner in it? My wife's suburban started misfiring. After changing plugs, plug wires, and coils I realized she always uses 87 gas and NEVER puts injector cleaner in...

    2013 Transmission Rebuild Advice

    Thanks. I ordered the ridiculously overpriced (I guess not if I bought it) dipstick. Mostly because I really don't want to hand pump 12 quarts of fluid >< I suspect you're right on #1 I think I found an answer to #2 from Exedy: #S2EX. Exedy Stage 2 6R80 Master Kit is our answer for the daily...

    2013 Transmission Rebuild Advice

    Hey y'all, I recently started noticing some hard shifts in low gears. One time in the past month I experienced a slip, and recently I've started getting some wicked chatter from underneath the truck that I assume is the transmission clutch packs. I'm at about 107K miles. I think I'm going to do...

    engine Cut-off and low oil pressure warning!!

    Received my kit, time to finally reveal the big secret, I haven't been this excited since the Lost finale... The instructions are a bit wordy, basically you tap into the blue red wire, shove the terminal side into slot 70, put the fuse in and done. Here are a few money shots from the...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Ya i haven't let it get that low since that episode. So it was a fuse. I had decided it wasn't a fuse since it seemed to come and go, and i could hear the fuel pump starting. After a bunch of troubleshooting i realized i couldn't hear the fuel pump any more. I opened the fuse box and #27 was...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I plugged a hole in my tire. Picked up a thick-gauge copper wire, which is kinda funny since I was just explaining to a customer they could trash their copper and use fiber on their datacenter refresh to reduce the volume of cabling above their racks. Karma? Theeeeeen my truck died. It won't...
