Think I probably fried them anyway. Sounded and acted EXACTLY like part throttle detonation I had on my blown mustang—light throttle, uphill, etc. Went on for about a month and a half, and quite a few miles before I zeroed in on it. A cracked vacuum line.
Haven’t tested it off road yet, but...
Ordered a new one, got it and the damn pulley is plastic. Disappointing to say the least. I'm sure it will be fine, but the original has the metal pulley, which is also a little wider. Tried the old pulley and the bearings won't fit the new shaft—machined differently. Guess the old part becomes...
Hey Vegas people, I need some help finding a good shop where I can put my truck on a dyno with a really capable tuner. Running a JDM tune now, and very happy with it overall. I just want to fine-tune it to suit this particular truck.
If I have to drive to Southern California, I will.
Thanks,
Sean
Last weekend I had the truck loaded up and heading out of Vegas to Big Bear. We were heading up Mountain Pass (west of Stateline) for those who are familiar and started to notice the TC lock and unlock. I was about to select tow/haul mode like I often do in the hills when I saw the trans temp...
I've been doing some datalogging recently, and my voltage is reading between 12.8 and 13.4, averaging about 13.2. This seems low and I want to know what is normal? I can barely get 14 under WOT, but that's the only time I see something higher than low 13s. Curious to know what others are seeing...
Scary moment watching it flip over right in front of me at about 40 mph. He’s ok. Pulled it back over with a bumper strap. Jeep drove out but not ok at all.
That's a lot of truck for the money! This package was $45k on top of a new Raptor.

Looks like a nice truck! New KO2s, lots of options, 60k miles, and a blower. Someone is going to get a pretty nice truck for under $40k.
Door sticker on Gen 2s is 38 psi, but Gen 1s is 44 psi. The weight difference is only 500lbs total.
Does anyone know why? I'm thinking of dropping my street pressures from the 44 for less bounce in the rear. Maybe drop to 40 at least, but still wondering why the big drop from Ford.
Thanks!
Here are some pics of the new wheels, tires and Geiser springs. Left them on low perch. The trim rings are from OMF, center caps from Chief Machining. Installed camber bolt kit along with rebuilt shocks from Shocks by Hammer. Brian over at SBH is a great guy.
No, I didn't install them myself! LOL
Ok folks, the good news is that my new wheels w/OMF drain-style rings, tires, shocks and springs are on, and the truck looks freaking awesome. I'll post pics after I wash it. Bad news is that I had to go through some BULL$HIZ in the process! Here's what...
I've heard 200, all the way up to 250. Wondering who runs what, and why. Seems most run fronts/rears at the same pressure, but all input is welcome—Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I'm not very active on the forum, but I do appreciate reading all the contributions from those who are—thanks! I've owned my 2014 for a couple years now, and I'm finally starting to get it dirty on a regular basis. I'm wondering about the best options for satellite (non-cellular)...
What's up Raptor Forum?! Had my truck for a little while now, so I'm going to start using (finally) for more than an overpriced commuter. I'm getting some basic recovery items together so I can get out there AND get back, and looking forward to hitting the trails! Hope to see some of you out...
