    What did u do to your raptor today?

    If doing a flush all you need is fluid and lots of it. If dropping the pan, the gasket is reuseable unless damaged.

    Water heater

    I tried the tankless water heater when they first came out in the early 80's. Went through three units in five years so I gave up on this technology. It was powered by two 220 circuits and cost a small fortune to operate, was for a kitchen sink and a dishwasher only.

    IWE Vacuum Hose Replacement

    I just bought the BL3Z-7A785-B for my 2014 to have just in case and it was only $51.xx shipped. If you can get the AL3Z for a reasonable price I would jump on it otherwise get the BL3Z and make it work. These things are becoming obsolete so you don't have much choice.

    This is a hijacking

    I guess you won't be posting about strange noises coming from somewhere on the Raptor, that's one less bingo slot for you. Hearing loss can be a curse or a blessing, depends on how one looks at it and what range it's in. I'm 75 and my wife is convinsed that I just can't hear the female voice...

    S8 Amber Straight LED Light Bar

    I'm curious about needing a relay since all the upfitter circuits have relays from the factory. I've had my lights installed for 10+ years and I did not add relays, just used the pass thru wires and they work. What am I not understanding here?

    4WD/Transfer Case/Front diff Banging and Grinding Noise

    Something else to check is the 13mm nut on the end of the front axles under the dust cap, they can back off and let the axle move in and out in the IWE.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I like it when someone figures out how to do a job outside the norm and it can save a ton of money. I'm glad that I don't mess with changing this setting on my havac.
