    New Fuel Grabber 35 12.50 17 M/T

    I wondered the same thing about deep rain and snow/ice. I found the BFG's pretty awesome on all but black ice, but then not much are good there except studs. I was shocked at how quiet they are and how compliant the ride is being 12 ply with load range F. All in all, so far, so good.

    New Fuel Grabber 35 12.50 17 M/T

    After running 3 sets of K02's and loving them, I decided to go with a set of Fuel Gripper M/T 35 12.50 17's on stock wheels. I saw them originally on a Jeep Gladiator and loved the look and the sidewall. Ordered them on Amazon and when they came, I was sure I F'd-up going with 35's since they...

    engine Cut-off and low oil pressure warning!!

    Update. Just let me say that Ford has totally stepped up. My out of pocket was $0. This was the second time Ford has supported their product in an exemplary fashion and maintained the trust. Should it have happened in the first place? No. Did they make it right? Yes.

    engine Cut-off and low oil pressure warning!!

    Yup, this was the issue. Truck looked pitiful on the back of the flatbed tow truck, but it was just too dangerous to drive to the shop. Was absolutely the fuel pump fuse. I can only imagine that when the fuel pump demands more, like going up a hill, or when you tromp on it, it clearly tries...

    engine Cut-off and low oil pressure warning!!

    Yup, me too. My 2011 SCREW almost killed my wife and I last night. Seriously. So, we drove from SW Missouri home to Grand Rapids this weekend to pick up a Jeep Wrangler YJ we were storing there and pull it back home on a Uhaul car trailer. All was well on our way home until we got into the...

    My Raptor got broken into

    Bingo! I don't know squat, but somewhere I heard "don't leave expensive shit in your truck" and "if you don't want your truck driven off, put a hidden fuel pump relay switch somewhere under the seat where someone would have to spend time looking to switch it on."

    Ford Maintenance Plan

    We looked all around and the best price we found on Ford ESP was through Ziegler Ford. https://www.zeiglerfordesp.com/default.aspx We have no affiliation with Ziegler, except for purchasing (2) ESP's through them. One for the 2011 Raptor and the other for our 2010 Taurus SHO. To say we are...

    Looking at a 2011

    Seems legit depending on condition/history. I have an 11 SCREW and it's in pretty perfect condition except for some Arizona pinstripes from offroad in the brush (nothing a good buff wouldn't fix. Service records? Have the shocks been rebuilt? If not, they will need to be rebuilt (~$800+) or...

    GEN 2 List of the many problems during first 50,000 miles. Now the transmission is dead.

    Bummer about the tranny and other issues. Genius for buying Premium Care w/rental car. Repairs on mine have paid for cost several times over. I have a Gen 1 and have had tranny issues twice, first was torque converter leaking, was R&R'd and just had harness R&R'd. Also, A-Arms, ball joints...

    Right Front suspension noise

    Just posted in earlier clunk thread. I thinking steering rack or steering box. Everything else was torqued down when Rory at Raptor Kustoms rebuilt my shocks and we went to mid-perch. Clunk was before and after rebuild and truck has new ball joints. Only happens at low speeds on passenger...

    Front end clunk

    Experiencing same clunk here on the passenger side front. Had shocks rebuilt and ball joints replaced by Rory at Raptor Kustoms (highly recommended BTW). Had clunk before, have after. I watched Rory torque every dam thing down but clearly not associated with shocks or ball joints. Only makes...

    Whats a raptor like as a daily driver

    Geez, Fuzzy, that sucks. Sorry man, but sounds like your ok, so you lived to tell the tale. Raptor saves another soul. Re daily driving: I love driving in the city, where the rules are the bigger you are, the more right of way you own.... Pot holes and those freeking man-hole covers, the...

    You know your raptor owner when...

    You can't decide whether the truck looks better spotless or completely covered in mud and dirt.

    Oh how creative I am.... 6gun Love Waze and use it all the time for peaceful purposes. Frequent the Bloomfield Hills, MI area and SE Missouri when I can.

    Completed

    No hate here. Like the lift, tires and the overall look. Like the red. As for dropping a diesel in it....do what you want, but I suspect the outcome won't be what you are really after using a Raptor chassis. If you want a Raptor body with a diesel actually built to last, put a raptor body on...

    Car covers and seat covers for 17 Raptor

    Totally agree with AdamsP's! Car cover only if you HAVE to park under the birdshit tree. But, then again, birdshit doesn't stay on my paint more than 15 minutes after it's discovered. Also agree with AP on the interior. A pretty good painters dropcloth is handy to have under the back...

    Loud whine! Please help!

    CAI a real possibility, was camera up near the CAI filter? Try same shots with filter off. If not, it could also be power steering pump.

    Motor Failure with no warning!

    No doubt easier access to everything with the cab gone, but the font clip is gone too....probably easier to dial in all the alignments with the cab loose, but damn. If i walked into the shop for a short block replacement and found my truck like this, I would have a freaking Hereford right there...

    First year models that bad?

    First year models that bad?

    Generally, I'm with you, but the 17 Raptor (unlike our beloved monsters) doesn't appear all that different from the current F150 fleet save some suspension pieces and such...including the Ecoboost, which is actually an awesome powerplant. Same as what's in a ton of current F150's and I have in...

    Stock passenger fender liner rubbing turning left

    Mine did same same. I am stock tires/stock perch. I just reached up inside the wheel well where it was rubbing and put a kink in the liner away from the tire and it went away, at least for a while. Thought about putting a cutout or heating the liner with a heat gun and putting some relief in...

    Third brake light

    Just replaced mine. Props to Crystal at Ford for helping out big time. Mine was out of warranty. On the one that wasn't working, i pulled the inner part of the light out away from the bezel/lens hoping to see if i could replace the LED's if they were cooked, but what i found was that the...
