    Diamondback bed cover

    Really like mine. I have an HD on my Tundra and an SE on my raptor. Was going to get HD on the raptor but I bought one from a buddy who was selling his f150. I added the extra cleats. It’s lighter and thinner but the panels are shorter than on my tundras HD. Pretty solid. I stand on mine a lot...

    Third brake light part #

    I’ve had my rig since jan and have only seen a few in the wild. I’ve noticed that my third brake light center is blocked at different angles. I’ve been seeing more raptors lately and the three light are always clear. I posted this in the lighting section a while back and didn’t get any answers...

    2017 Raptor Transmission Slip & Overheat

    My plastic pan was leaking (yes the trans pan) I had the gasket replaced and my trans started doing the same thing. Once temp got over 210 it would start shifting hard and all that. The dealership contacted a ford tech and after a week or so determined it was either under or over filled. I’m not...

    3rd brake light ?

    I've noticed that my center led light is not as bright. Since I only drive my truck I've noticed it in my security cams. When I get out and look it's brighter at different angles but dimmer looking straight behind. I saw another raptor in traffic today. It looked different than mine. All three...

    Make sure ignition is on. There are 2 sets wires ( 2 bundles, 12 wires). One set are hot, one set just goes back through the firewall (so you can hook then up to hot and run something from inside). Hope I just saved you some stress, phones calls, bad words, etc....ask me how I know.

    transmission filter and fluid change

    Dealership "fixed" my trans leak by replacing gasket. My did same thing heated up shifted hard. After another week in shop was told the film level was either high or low and possible had air in it causing it to foam. Replaced on and gasket. Took in on trip this week. 1200 miles so far in the...

    update on my issue: the service dept has communicated ok so far and told me they would update me today. I also called my sales man and briefed him on what all was going on.

    Transmission issue

    Another day in the shop. Called late today and said they are still waiting to hear from ford on what to do. Not real pissed yet. My family vacation is next weekend. May be a little upset if it's not ready or breaks down on me. Oh well. Kinda expected some issues with a first year model.

    Transmission issue

    It was obvious that it shifted tough as soon as it reached 205 or so. Everything is great under 200. It's at the shop now. I will update.

    Powder Coating Stock Rims Advice Needed

    Just black. Tons of vids on how to do it. Just clean everything well. Lightly "dust" at first. Thin layers about every 10 minutes. Make sure the overspray is thick (to give plenty to peel from). I use armor all extreme to clean and keep from dulling. I did my tundras bumpers and badges years...

    Leveling kit implications

    This was the first vehicle in a while that I said "leaving it stock, not changing a thing". Was hesitant to mess with suspension. Just couldn't deal with the nose heavy look/ feel. After much research I went with rpg 1.5. Did it myself. Couldn't be happier with everything. It's looks right now...

    Wrapping my roof

    would like to see more pics of gloss roof. I was thinking matte to match the plastic but think a gloss may be better on roof. can anyone give an estimate on what I should pay for the roof only. Local guy said $400..seems high for just the roof. thanks
