Had a hauler drag my new to me 320 Outrage (14,000 pounds here) up from South Florida, he used his F450 work truck. This afternoon I saw the boat sitting at the marina and I had know. Could the Raptor with its beefy frame and Deaver +3HD (13 leafs) handle the load? Granted I was not...

I already had the cam phasers and timing system replaced at 24,000. Now at 28,000 miles I have this when the oil is cold. In gear, blipping the throttle to 1100 rpm. You can hear it the first ten or so minutes of driving, it’s oil temperature dependent. Fe (iron) is up on the latest 4,000...

I dropped the oil just before my summer trip around the country, here are the 9,500 mile results. The lead part has me a bit worried. Sort of wondering if this whole cam phaser issue is due to low pressure due to worn bottom end clearances. Mobile 1 5w-30 with Motorcraft filter

Greetings, Since about a month back I started to pickup some stumbling which gradually increased over time into misfires, limp mode and flashing CEL. The codes were always P0300 with a P0301 variably through P0306. SP542: I never had a problem with the OE plugs, however figured it might be...

As I walked across the employee parking lot this morning I heard a familiar rattle, that’s right, another Raptor doing the after start EcoRattle. This of course got me thinking and the few of us experiencing this phenomena need our own thread to post videos of these amazing machines doing what...

Very lightly used, IOW boat has been broken most of the year. $100 SHIPPED USA.

Ceramic pads are great for low dust, low noise and long life, otherwise not so much. I think one of the advantages to the big brake kits is the different compounds they are using with those systems, not as much as the size as everyone is thinking. My Miata runs DTC-60 pads on track and they...

I was in the desert southeast of Lake Tahoe and making a run up a 25-28° incline when the engine just cuts out and the vehicle slammed on the brakes, I was in rock crawler mode. I slowly backed down and made a subsequent attempt when half way up (150-200’) it cut out again and this time the...

On a recent off-road excursion (trails in a national park) the transmission or transfer case seems to make a terrible clunk when shifting between D-N-R but only when the rear diff is locked up. It literally sounds like a tooth is busted off one of the cogs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tried to get my truck aligned after I knocked her around on the last trail assault. The techs are saying that the Gen 2 is too wide for the Hunter Hawk Eye alignment system, it can’t see the sensors. Apparently I need to go to a specialty shop or the dealer, both back logged at least a week...

I called Fab Fours and their premium line is designed to incorporate a winch and maintain the stock intercooler in its existing location. It doesn't look like much airflow into that area without the fans running. Anyone have experience with this setup and as a bonus, running the Whipple IC...

A lot of questions about the Whipple programmer. The .apl file you receive and drop onto the SD card will change the Tomahawk's firmware and allow it to unzip and recognize the .bin file you also dropped on the SD card. Here are some shots to answer some questions: Initial Menu...

After cruising through various online OEM parts vendors it seems the only difference between the Raptor and regular 3.5 engines are the pistons and block? The part number for the cams, rods, heads, turbos and even the inter-cooler, all the way down to the 2.7L, show to be the same part...

The truck came out awesome, within 1/4" of being level, rear being higher. Ride is ever so slightly stiffer over harder obstacles, otherwise welcome. Now towing in the other hand, LOTS of sag. Still tows 9,500#s like a champ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just cruising through this section and stumbled across the one about Switzer Performance, just WOW. When I read about the availability of GT turbos that bolt into the Raptor and take a hard look at the size of the exhaust system it all became VERY clear to me. What I am curious about...

Traded in my 2008 5.4 Lariat for this beast and LOVE the Ecoboost, loads more towing torque below 3,000. The old truck had Firestone airbags and towed fantastic with the boat and probably 500 pounds of dive gear on our last vacation. The Raptor needs the same. Anyone know when Firestone plans...

Just bought a Gen 2 and with a background in towing/hauling and track days I can't get comfortable relocating a turbo intercooler to an area in front of the radiator, AC condenser and what looks like the transmission cooler. I know, people have done it but I am strictly interested in an...
