    Official Raptor R Modification Thread

    As daily driver: Turbo has more torque low range, I definitively notice the difference between my previous Gen 2 Raptor (okay, tuned) and the current '23 Raptor R (stock). Less gear shifts, with right exhaust parts negligible turbo lag. Remember, the R has to shift down more before it takes of...

    Official Raptor R Modification Thread

    120 liters (just above 26 gallons), tank is located in the spare wheel location. So yes, you will loose space, I have to carry the spare wheel in the bed (or leave it at home for short trips). Alternatively you can get a 200 liter tank (44 gallons), but this will be in the bed and tooks a lot of...

    35's on an r

    My winter tires are 35", it feels "lighter" or more nible (as far as a truck can feel like that) with this set compared to the stock 37". I honestly like the look of the 37" better than the 35", but there are no real winter tires (I have Nokian) in 37" I am aware of.

    GEN3 Forscan

    Problems solved: The Service procedure has been interrupted was caused by the LPG system. Appearantly this has to be disconnected before doing checks and updated with Forscan. The second issue with checksum was related to the first one. The good news: The modifications work like a charm: -...

    Feedback on your R's -- what problems have you experienced thus far?

    At approx. 10.000km I had an oil leak. They did the Customer Satisfaction Program 23B25 (replacing valve covers and seals), because the oil seemed to come from the heads/valve covers. It turned out to be 2 gaskets for the spark plugs, appearantly they were not seated correctly in the valve...

    LPG is coming from Prins: https://www.prinsautogas.com/en/distributors They had a kit for the V8 already, and had to use mine to tune the system for the supercharged engine. (My previous V6 Raptor also had a LPG kit mounted, gas prices in EU are very high.)

    GEN3 Forscan

    New to Forscan here, I seem to have some throubles with connecting the APIM module. Sometimes it works, but mostly it disconnects (interrupted messages): Obviously I checked the forscan pages, settings for the OBDLink EX as recommended (latency timer adjusted to 2 ms), did an interface...

    Raptor R vs Cybertruck

    Do you still have to warm up batteries, lowering suspension and other stuff to get maximum performance out of Tesla's? You'll be long gone ...

    Official Raptor R Modification Thread

    See attachment for more information, it is the same engine as the GT500, the same performance parts fit. Well, except the oil filter, which is different (wrong in the manual). Correct, LPG. It is about 1/3 of the price of unleaded. Consumption is the same, I have a 120 liter tank fitted in the...

    Feedback on your R's -- what problems have you experienced thus far?

    Mine has a tailgate issue. 3 beeps and will not open (if closed) or close (when opened). In the settings the tailgate is set to manual somehow, and this cannot be changed. Later somehow (I have no clue why) it resets to automatic and works again. Very annoying and of course at the workshop it...

    I got the Ford Performance oil-air separator installed: (The extra hoses on top of the engine are from the LPG system.) And my winter wheels mounted (from the previous Raptor, 35"):

    Truth behind tunes and hardware upgrades

    Not necessarily true. It lowers the intake manifold temperature at same load and the ECU will apply settings accordingly. Depends on the car if you have benefits, on a previous car I had better fuel economics when I upgraded only the intercoolers.

    FMIC Vs Stock location

    Treu, but your IC core heats up too, and this heat has to be cooled down first, before the IC gets effective again. Hence the fans. By the way, with an FMIC the fans of the radiator will draw air through it, so the fans / no fans discussion is not a real issue. The FMIC heated air temperature...

    automatic braking

    As far as I know this works only with the '19 with 802A package. Mine braked for a cyclist. I was on a priority road, he entered. Welcome in The Netherlands. The car started braking before I hit the brakes. (I had already my foot hoovering over the brake pedal, as I saw it coming.)

    Bluetooth keeps disconnecting/reconnecting to Samsung Note 9

    S10e, same issue. It helps to switch off bluetooth and connect the phone via usb (Android Auto set to start on connection). I can stream anything without problems then.

    2019 Velocity Blue - Screw Fully Loaded

    Nice color. I was in doubt between blue and red, and because they changed the blue for 2019 I choose the red.

    Best Intercooler for Stock Location?

    I have the Wagner since day 1 with a tune, so cannot comment on changes to stock. I can tell however, that according measurements info, difference between intake and manifold air temperature always settles at about 10°C (ca. 18°F). No matter the outside air temperature.

    Anyone not have problems?

    '19 SCREW 8000 miles, waterpomp leaking from start, since repairs no problems

    Check your COOLANT RECOVERY Line!!

    In my case it was the waterpomp leaking, will be replaced under warranty. (I claimed loss of coolant from the beginning and the truck is now 2 months old.)

    Check your COOLANT RECOVERY Line!!

    Thanks, it is at the dealer/workshop now. Warranty, should not be any problem. Anyway, it is nice to see on forums like these probable causes of such leaks. I myself did not see / find any leakage, will check with the dealer next week if they found something.

    Check your COOLANT RECOVERY Line!!

    Did you check the level of the coolant regularly and notice it drop? Mine (2019) goes from Max to below Min in about 1500 miles. I could not see any leaks, but did not check/see this hose you pointed out. The truck has now 8900km (ca. 5500 miles) and it is at the dealer now for the first oil...
