As I understand it, the Raptor has 2-speed electric fans for radiator cooling. When you are driving down the road at speed, the fans shut down (unless the ECU steps in to turn them on), your radiator louvers CLOSE to increase gas mileage, and the airflow across the vehicle/radiator does all the...

I ordered the L84HD Deavers. I have never blogged, met, or discussed with a single Gen II Raptor Owner that had Deavers where they did not say that the Deavers weren't the very best mod they ever made. I pulled the trigger. If you don't put anything in the back (payload) and you don't tow...

In your picture of the garage door you have, it appears you have hurricane bracing that runs laterally across each section of the garage door. Are these screwed into the garage with self-tapping screws? Mine are. If so, just remove only the braces that are below your rear bumper. Probably 2...

BTW - I have a perfectly good set of OEM Raptor brake pads and rotors available (5K miles) if anyone wants them. Just pay for shipping. I hate to throw them out because they are so new.

I put the R1 Concept cross-drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads on my Raptor. They went on super quick and super easy. They look fantastic! The performance is better. Is it night and day difference? No. The brakes on the Raptor are definitely a weak link. Any improvement is...

I don't think anyone will question that the 3.5L TT ECO is a far more complex engine than the 6.2L. The Raptor engine is the same base engine as that of the high revving Ford GT Supercar. With more moving parts operating at higher compression ratios, higher combustion temps, higher RPMs, etc...

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act 1975.

dhmcfadin has it right. I had mine dyno'd at MPT in Longwood 7 times and pretty much what he said is spot on. I examined real life performance differences with dyno charts proving what he shared. If you just drive your truck normal, the thermostat MAY give you a little worse fuel economy (0.5...

The problem with stating that Ford can tell you had "a tune installed" is misleading. Ford cannot tell WHAT tune you had if you return it to stock before they examine the problem. They CAN tell that the ECU was flashed - I believe it shows engine start counts. However, what is "a tune"? I...

2017 6/17 build, 11,200 miles, leaking on Passenger Side of engine, very top and very front of engine. Ford had it for 3 days, they did not fix it. They first said it was a turbo oil tube leaking. I said, no way. I cleaned the engine prior. Then I let it run idle in the garage for 15...

My 2017 Raptor when sitting on level ground and full of fuel and no one in the truck sags 3/4" more on the Driver's Side. I am sure it sags even more when I am driving it solo. It is noticeable to the eye - especially when looking at the truck from the back. I have had comments as well. The...

The stat works fine, just getting it on is painful. It only compresses about 2-3mm but it's pushing up against the bypass which according to Reische is fine. I went to MPT and they verified that everyone is experiencing the difficulty of installation issue. Here's why it is in fact an issue...

I have a 2017. Your truck is totally badass dude! I think you won in that deal.

So after three calls to three different 170F thermostat providers, they ALL are 64mm tall. Your stock stat is 61mm. There is a challenge when you swap them out because you literally have to compress the spring in the 170F stat while you are putting the plastic water housing back together and...

What Intercooler did you purchase?

Cooler temperatures are much more important on turbo and supercharged vehicles due to the amount of heat generated through compression of air. On the same day when MPT dyno'd my 17' Raptor we had Rear Wheel HP differentials that varied by nearly 75HP (that's nearly 100 HP at the engine!!) This...

k-rub. I have tried to put on the SPD 170 and i found the stock thermostat is indeed 195F and the overall height of it to be 61mm. The SPD 170 stat is 64mm in height. While 3mm does not sound like much (it's about 1/8"), I found the SPD stat not only hitting the back of the water housing and...

The 170 Thermostat theoretically should provide some substantial HP improvements because the engine should be able to advance the timing further (and spark) at higher turbo boost levels with less knock (which retards the timing). The Raptor is one crazy truck and like it or not, it has one of...

I think your 18' Raptor is going to be bad ass and will walk away from that 10' Raptor you have. MPT's 93-PRX tune is amazing. I have dyno report in my hand verifying torque at rear wheel of 445 ft-lbs of torque. Assuming 30% loss over the slush box and those huge heavy BFG KO2 tires, that...

I too have the suction cup mount. MPT took 15 seconds and pulled the Driver side panel of the dash back and tucked the wire in there. It's the upper left panel that has the small F-150 emblem on it. It makes a pretty scary creaking sound when pulling it back, but it pulls back. You cannot...

I had my Raptor dyno tested and tuned this week at MPT here in Longwood, FL so I could see Before and After results. As Guy on this blog suggested, I went ahead and paid the extra to have it done since I live locally. Mike, MPT Owner, is very passionate about the programming. He dyno tested...

Good advice and thanks for the feedback. I am 20 minutes from his shop. Also, I was just looking at the MPT 93PR-X Tune for the F-150 3.5 EB. They are getting nearly identical HP and Torque as the Raptor. I guess that tells you that the F-150 3.5 EB is just a slightly detuned (out of the...

Guys, just making sure I understand the MPT Tunes here. You receive three separate tunes with the N-Gauge right? Since I live in Florida, my plan is to order the 93PR-X Tune (for Winter, cooler months), 91PR-X Tune (for Summer, hotter months), and then 91 Performance Tow - No Trans Tuning...

Actually, my truck was supposed to be originally delivered to Mexico I think. It says LOBO on the back appliqué. There is no F-150 badges on it anywhere. No joke. I pointed it out to the Dealer after I bought it. He said they never noticed it when it was on the lot. Then they asked me to...

Got the Raptor back today. They had to remove the plenum and pull the Driver Side (Bank 2) Knock Sensor out. They said it was installed upside-down. Hard to believe considering these engines are put together by robots..... But, at least they found something that was wrong and corrected it...
