    Front end clink clank noise differential

    It does not sound exactly like mine did, but I did have a very odd noise. The dealer was totally confused by the sound - it turned out to be a bent exhaust heat cover that was hitting the front drive shaft. Mine was more of a scraping sound, but yours could be hitting the U-Joint area or...

    GEN 2 VHF radio mounting (looks factory!)

    I had to remove the CS800D and go with a TYT MD-9600. Because I have a ham license and an itinerant nationwide license and use my radios with our ski area license, I needed a Part 90 radio so I could legally cover all of them. No removable face, so I had to punch through the cubby and install...

    GEN 2 VHF radio mounting (looks factory!)

    Here is my Connect Systems CS800D - the cubby can be entirely closed and you only have to put one hole through the inside to allow the cat5 cable to get to the remote head.

    AUX Switch Wires and Pass Through Wires

    I installed a Connect Systems CS800D Dual Band UHF/VHF HAM Radio. The CS800D has a remote head that fits perfectly in the cubby below the climate controls. I have not mounted the mic - but it fits in the cubby with the remote head. I mounted the chassis under the rear seat. I have a tonneau...

    AUX Switch Wires and Pass Through Wires

    I went though this quickly, so maybe someone has already given this advice. I needed the pass through wires to connect my HAM radio to power in my 2018 SCREW. All of the instructions I found on this site and elsewhere said to remove the kick panel. I did that and watched videos where the fuse...

    E&G Console Gun Vault

    I second bwdilli. I struggled to get the bolts to grab the nuts on the metal plate. And one more tip - don't tighten any of the bolts until you have all of them slightly threaded.

    Need phone number for Ford Guide

    re-logging did not fix mine, but deleting the app and reinstalling did.

    Dealer inventory: Scab vs. Screw

    There are basically no SCABs out there - raptor finder has 2342 total 2018 raptors and if you change the size to SCAB, there are 52. Also, 1992 of the 2342 are 802a. The guy who said his base SCAB is rare is not kidding - there are 11 out of the 2342.

    Ford Performance

    I just reached out to them and asked: "Are you working on a tune for the 2018 Raptor or is that not happening?" They said "We are working on one. I would expect a late second quarter availability."

    Turbo lag

    Depends on where you live. At high altitude, you should notice more turbo lag. I notice it, but I live at 6,300 feet.

    Hood keeps opening.

    Happens to my truck when my wife drives the truck and reaches down to release the brake and then does not get out and fix it - does anyone else drive your truck and does that person usually drive a vehicle with a emergency brake release pull lever?

    I'm sure this has been discussed....

    Forscan is the way to go. On the search issue, I can't use the search bar on the top of the page. I have to go to the drop down search on the menu bar (between New Posts and FAQ). Then search works.

    Storing Heavy Tools

    For the cans, you might try protecting them with cheap neoprene bottle koozies. If you just zip them all the way up, the cans will have protection. Or, if they will fit in your cooler, you could go with a six pack holder like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E652Y4O/?tag=fordraptorforum-20...

    Amber lights and Forscan

    I implemented this today - but I could not get it done in the advanced settings. I was able to change 726-26-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx, but when I tried to change 726-50-01 01xx - it said it was an incompatible setting and refused to save. I had to go to the "easy" approach and set the DRL to "1...

    Car wash

    Mine fits through, but it was close and the brushes were very tight against the truck - they left small scratches in the paint.

    NEW 2018 Black SCREW

    I did, in fact, pay invoice. Here is my buyer's order and the invoice. I'm not sharing the name of the dealer as I am certain they won't sell another Raptor at this price. I have attached my buyer's agreement and the invoice so you can see my pricing.
