    GT350 87mm Throttle Body on a Gen 1 Raptor

    I have had this idea for several years and finally picked up an adapter so I can move foreward with this project. The adapter is for 2015-2017 Mustang and I will know later tonight if it will fit the Raptor intake manifold. I picked up a spare intake manifold with throttle body from the Shelby...

    H I D bulb replacement

    Holy chit the price of these things knocked me to the floor. It is a good thing I have a good rapore with the parts dept. at the local ford store and was able to get the price reduced about 25% or so. Even with that $150 is quite a bit for a bulb replacement, Bidenomics is not working for me...

    Behind/under the rear seat, plus the battle rages on.

    I cleaned and treated the mid-flaps for the Raptor before hanging them behind the rear seat. I also found this to be a good place to store the emergency shovels I picked up from Costco. The mess under the seat is stuff that I'm to lazy to put away.:snoopfacepalm: Then there is this epic...

    Slow start after filling the gas tank.

    My Raptor has been exhibiting a slow or weak start after filling with gas, it has not failed to start but something is going on. I don't top off after the pump shuts off as I've read it will cause problems. I'm not familiar with the fuel system so any help would be appreciated.

    Getting my doors blown off, I don't care.

    Something I've noticed since day one with the Raptor, it seems as though every pickup driver out there wants to blow my doors off. I don't consider myself a slowpolk on the road as I normally drive the speed limit + 10%. When I'm traveling on the highway and get passed by another offroad type...

Took the load to my brother in laws property on the south canadian river, beautiful piece of property right...

    4 Low use it or lose it.

    Just a friendly reminder to everyone to exercise the transfercase in their Raptor. Put your Raptor in 4 low once a quarter to keep it operating properly.

    Washing/Waxing the roof of the Raptor.

    How many of you Raptor owners wash their truck by hand and if so do you spend as much time and effort on the roof as you do on other parts of the truck? I guess this would apply to those who use a foam canon as well. i'm not 7' tall so I must get out a ladder to reach the center of the roof from...

    GEN 1 The Gen 1 Raptor Experience.

    It never ceases to amaze me the sheer amount of random strangers that feel the need to personally tell me how nice they think my Raptor is. People literally go out of their way to say something. My Raptor is stock for the most part with some lights and a worn out bed cover. I'm sure I'm not the...

    GEN 1 Road trip Ready

    Nothing special, rotated tires and adjusted tire pressure. Used the tire dolly from Harbor Freight again and the more I use this thing the more I like it, saves the back. I also changed the oil and filter, emptied the catch can. Got a five hour road trip planned for saturday.

    Refurbing KC Flex A-Pillar Lights

    After being in the elements for six years my a-pillar lights were starting to look a little ragged, the lenses were getting cloudy and the rings were faded so it was time for a refresh. Ordered some clear shields for the front of the lights to help protect the lenses and rings a little better. I...

    Utilizing the Fog Lamp circuit to add Headlight Switch with Fog Illumination

    I wanted to do this mod to gain the equivalent of one more upfitter switch. I used the Ford 2014 F-150 Wiring Diagrams book as my guide. After reading through and finding the pertinent information on the fog circuit. I then needed to check these connectors to see if they were wired from...

    A12 navigation SD card

    I received a letter from ford yesterday stating A12 navigation SD card was available for $149 if anyone is interested. I will probably wait as I just installed B10.

    Gear Oil from the factory?

    What weight gear oil did the factory put in the rear Raptor differential. The 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor supplement calls for 75W-85 premium synthetic hypoid gear lubricant. I know most will say use 75W-140 but I'm more interested in what was used by the factory. I'm also wondering if the SVT Raptor...

    Transmission Service

    Hopefully this wraps up my week of maintenance. Had the local ford dealership do the transmission flush at 65k so this time I decided to drop the pan and do a fluid & filter. I've never done this procedure before but so far things have gone fairly well just like the youtube videos I watched.

    Caliper Juice

    Squeezed this nastiness out of the rear calipers when I did a rotor pad refresh on my Raptor. The reservoir starts out small but as the brakes wear it gets larger and the brake fluid just cooks a little with each heat cycle. I recently learned that it is a bad idea to push the fluid back into...

    2 yrs 40k on 2018 Gen 2 Shocks (pics)

    In May 2019 I installed a complete set of 2018 Raptor take off shocks on my 2014 Raptor. During my 160k routine maintenance I decided to take pics of the suspension to see if I could spot any failures after 40k miles on the Gen 2 shocks. I'm posting the pics on here to see if anyone else with...
