Totally understand your frustration, same experience unless you have a personal relationship as a focus or raptor R.
I'd pick up forscan free, just pay for the adapter. Its nice to have anyway.
This is funny. I always ask my buddy that has some classic cars, how they were back in the day from the factory. Ie Well the car doesnt stop great (1970 Mach 1), so I asked him how they stopped direct from the factory. He says "they didnt, the pedal to the brake was a mere suggestion to the...
The OE setup seems to last quite a while so I just used the same.
I highly recommend doing the exact OE partnumber not the motorcraft aftermarket part number.
Yes some of the durablity trucks have had gaps happen after hard offroading, usually with the heavy tailgate step it is worse. I've also seen a ton not have an increased gap without bed supports. I just did them as they were easy and gave me more tiedown points.
Interesting because ive had some slams, one time i thought the rear end dropped out on a downshift on the freeway. I saw there was a new TSB on these trans, but I cant remember what its for. flyingwrenches had it on his youtube.
You need bulge ones from Goriila, note they changed their bulge design a couple years back and they are still the same conical shape 60 degrees as OEM but the bulge is not as large. I fought with goriilla about it for a while and they said they changed the design. The larger bulge allows the...
Rust like crap in a year..... ask me how I know. That being said, at least I dont have swollen lugs anymore. But Looks like lugs are getting replaced every couple of years
Thats great. When mine gets sold it will be a high mileage , 1 owner well maintained.
Id love to hear the service history for that othetr 180k mile raptor on ebay as well , besides the phasers.
October of last year until March of this year is not 19 months lol, check your maths, its 6 months
"Fellas,
I am letting go my Raptor order set to go into production March 4, 2024. After waiting 19 months (notice the 10/23/23 order date below!), "
I had this exact same thing twice, Dealer replaced IWE each time. I didn't self diagnose before, interested in your findings. My guess is some type of small leak that when the car comes to a stop the leak is too much to hold the IWE, but I could be wrong.
In for the follow..... It seems when these fail, 60K plus or minus a bit seems to be the number. My set went out right around there the first time. Second set so far, so good about 40k miles later.
The only sound-ish financial choice generally is buy and keep for 10 years or buy something 10 years old and then be close to even if selling in 2 ish years. recent covid craziness excluded.

There is need and there is performance. I can tell a considerable difference in a shock with 40k miles on it then when new. Need is a realtive term. Id perfer to do them every 25k but the difference for mostly the road , eh , but there is a difference. I do mine about 55k.
