    Transmission Wonkiness Poll

    I'm considering taking mine in, as the Sport mode shifting is not acceptable. I've seen so many different viewpoints, that I would be curious as to real world outcomes when taking it to the dealer. I have a 2018, by the way. I heard these got better as of 2019, but could be mistaken. It's not...

    Boost Gauge Accuracy

    Hey all- glad to be back! I took a hiatus from Raptorhood, but just came back with a 2018. My understanding is under full throttle, it should be hitting about 18PSI of boost. This one doesn't feel as quick as the 2017 I had, and I noticed the boost, if the scale is accurate from 0-20, is only...

    Anyone have a used JB4 for sale?

    Hope this doesn't need to be in the for sale section. I want to install a JB4 with bluetooth. I have a GEN2, but it still has plenty of extended warranty left on it so not ready to flash yet. Has anyone moved to a tune and have a JB4 laying around they would be interested in selling? Again, I...

    40s oh my! Help me decide please.

    Hey all- I may be rejoining the Raptor family after a 2-year hiatus! I had a 2017, sold it, and am looking again. I hope the link works. It's a video of what I'm seriously considering. I know what many will say. But realistically, I won't take this to the desert. I didn't take my other one to...

    Which Stage Roush?

    Hey all- I'm considering purchasing a 2014 with a Roush supercharger. I've seen that they were offered in a couple of stages. How would I determine which it has? It does have an air to water intercooler, if that indicates anything. Anything else I should be aware of, or look for? The truck has...

    Cooling fans running when they shouldn’t

    Hey all- found another thread on this, but the OP had the issue in the heat, so here goes. All of a sudden, the cooling fans have been coming on high for no apparent reason. I’m talking 70 out, just cruising around town, as I always have. They are LOUD! It doesn’t seem to matter if the a/c is on...

    GEN 2 Raptor ventilated seats vs non-Raptor

    I have a 2017 Raptor. While it was in the shop, they gave me an XLT loaner with ventilated seats. Woah, what a difference! The seats blow stronger and cooler, especially the backs of them. Did they change something? It was a 2019. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can't jump start FROM Raptor

    Ok, this is really odd, and I can't think of a logical explanation. Yeah, go ahead and have fun with me fuckers. I know you're out there ready to pounce, so have at it. I don't give a shit. I am unable to jump start another car from my truck. At first, I thought I had bad cables. Then I used...

    Where is the key for tire removal?

    Embarrassed to ask such an elementary question, but where did you guys find the key to remove the little lock, allowing you to access the spare tire release on the bumper? Google didn't help. And of all the keys the dealer gave me, none of them are correct. Perhaps I didn't get it. I did find...

    Timbren has a solution for rear suspension sag!

    I just spoke with Timbren direct. They now have a solution specific to the Raptor. And the great news is that once installed, it only takes 15-20 minutes to remove or reinstall it. For me, this is perfect. For the limited times I would tow my tongue heavy trailer, I could pop it on, tow, then...

    Lane assist- does mine just suck or do they all?

    I am new to lane assist, but like the concept for safety reasons. IF you doze off, this could be a life saver. Obviously not planning to, but I don't plan to wreck and I have full coverage insurance. When I enable it, and let go of the wheel, it drifts toward the shoulder, senses the line...

    Paint code for trim?

    Would someone be able to provide, or direct me to where I can find, the paint code used for the bumpers? Had to replace the right rear, and they come unpainted. Paint guy said there are multiple greys on the truck?

    Auto-on remote start cooled seats

    I've clicked through dash options. I've searched. I've looked through the manual. I've found it referenced, but can't find out how. How in the Hell do I make the cooled seats come on when remote starting?

    Front passenger fender flare part number

    Mishap with the recycling bin today. Crap. I can't seem to find the part number on all the OEM Ford parts sites. Anyone able to locate it? I would assume it comes painted since they are all the same color? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Bucking and snorting on acceleration

    OK, maybe that's an exaggeration. BUT...I have noticed while in regular dive mode, not sport, when I hit the gas mid to upper throttle, it surges. It's just not a nice, linear acceleration. It just feels like it's slightly missing, like either ignition or fuel related. Are others experiencing...

    Leveling kit implications

    I've been toying with a leveling kit, such as RPG. I'd be curious to hear feedback on pros and cons. Here is how I see it thus far, but feel free to correct my assumptions, as I'm no suspension guru. And exactly why I asking people with more experience. Pros: -Asthetics if you like the look...

    Auto start/stop and A/C

    So, I was curious how the a/c would work when the auto stop shuts the car down. Obviously the compressor is no longer turning. It's getting hot here in TX, and while sitting at a light, the car kicked back on after sitting for a bit. Does the vehicle measure a/c temps or line pressure to let it...

    Wow! Relationship saver.

    I just reversed the polarity on the motor in my cooled seat, and now I have a fart sucker! It has saved my marriage. Thanks for all you do, Raptor! So here's the serious question: you think there's any way to pump out more air on these seats? It's nice, but I was expecting/hoping for more...

    ACC start/stop in a 2017?

    I like the concept of the ACC start/stop, as I live in Dallas. You think there will be any way to upgrade the system if I already have the ACC?

    ACC start/stop in arrears

    Anybody know if the new ACC start/stop functionality could be added to a 2017 already equipped with ACC? I like the concept, but wasn't going to wait for the 2018s to come out.

    Anyone added beadlock rings to stock BL ready wheels?

    If so, would love to see pics and first impressions. Looks like they are $600-$800 for a set? Damn Gina!!!
