TrueTrue:bananarock: But this has blown up way too big. 800 bucks and a week later you get the truck back and no hit on the warranty? BlueSVT needs to shut up and count his blessings. No other manufacturer could watch that video and claim the truck wasnt abused, or even consider giving him his...
I fail to see how makking the truck fail-safe, which is what they did, is worse than trying to make it foolproof, which is impossible. Everything Jamal said was completely correct, they knew people would exeed their trucks limit and did what they could engineering-wise to protect thier customers...
Yeah, many.
The Raptor as a San Diego/ABDSP/Ocotillo fire truck is the best truck available to do that job. More pics of the Raptor in the link: CAL Fire/San Diego Cty Fire Authority Ford Raptor
Here is a Brembo kit I found. For that much power you need better stoppers. The brakes on the Raptor are the ones on all 2010-up F150

What are you planning on doing with the truck? If you want a sport truck you bought the wrong one. More than 600 hp in a street truck that weighs 6k lbs and has 35" All Terrarins? :wow:
A lot of guys Raptor aren't daily drivers, or live very close to the desert. A few trucks are driven off road most of the time. No excuses for overheating. Unless they were stuck spinning the tires and not getting any air flow, but it sounds like they were just driving when it overheated. Plus...
Unlike Anza-Borrego, Glamis, Pismo, Stoddard, JV ect... The truck was designed to be driven in extreme climates under extreme loads. There is NO reason for you to need to stop because your brand new truck is overheating doing what it was designed to do. Ive been in hotter weather than that, and...
