    help with missing bolts undercarriage

    long story.... 2017 rappy and took it in for the cam phaser tsb, and nail in the tire. figured I'd asked the local ford dealership in socal (they have pretty good reviews) to change the tranny fluid at 32k miles (I drive ~ 5-6k miles a yr so it probably wont even get up to 85k in 10 more yrs)...

    Hot USB ports

    not good, were you charging multiple phones/battery packs from the port? likely you exceeded the charging ports ability/wiring. i melted a ext cord by plugging a oil heater and charging laptop at the same time luckily no electrical fire in the future, would just plug into the electrical...

    TRADE 018 FOR 020? OR HOLD OUT FOR GEN3?

    just got back from michigan...mind boggling how many raptors were on the street up there. not sure I will be able to tell the new up and coming TRX from a regular rebel though, bigger tires or maybe side decal? if you're business/tax deducting the vehicle, you might as well go for it since...

    Is it too late?

    thanks, that was a good explanation since I am not at all mech savy. was torn on upr vs. jlt at the time... was pricey and didnt like the idea of drilling that hole. i didnt know the above either otherwise I might have gone for it...

    Is it too late?

    like the old m4 direct impingement vs gas piston arguments...oh how I despise cleaning off my bolt carrier grps and especially revolver cylinders. :banghead: Sure the port injection likely keeps it very clean, but the catch can likely augments or assists. would a majority of the blowby make it...

    Is it too late?

    have the same choco milk shake but lots of nasty sticky sediment at the bottom of the can. usually fill up the whole jlt can (small as heck) after 5k mi. (the jlt extensions will not fit on a raptor btw with the intake blocking the way..dont ask) Not enough miles on the newer EBs to tell and...

    Dealer cleaning and sterilization

    lol, the example was to show the ultrawealthy are bunkering up...but “even kanye” clearly went waaay over your head. why are you ridiculing folks who get in line for testing...i order the test for a large portion of folks who need it to return to work. i guess testing for anyone who enters...

    Glove box separating

    ^Had the same exact issue after I switched out the cabin air filter and it drove me nuts. Slightly a bit ocd so I took a couple hours to figure it out that I put it back together wrong If you do not engage that one clip at the bottom most left corner of the cabin air filter cover...

    Dealer cleaning and sterilization

    majorly flawed logic: are you assuming all 320 mill people in the US have already been exposed or contracted the COVID? The numbers likely are elevated but you would take the 136,000 deaths / 3.3 mill who tested positive. ~ 4% death rate. Again 4% is likely over-estimated and a bit too high...

    Mod to Rear Seat Release

    those who say they can fit that much behind the seat are either gen1 or not raptor owners

    A/C Smells Like Vinegar (Not Teen Spirit)

    You never can forget that great gym locker smell. Had the problem last summer so bad I thought there was a dead mouse somewhere under the hood. Lysol aeresol did work well but I did have to do it 3-4 times or days in a row THEN change the cabin air filter. I think I did the treatment every...

    GEN 2 Painting fenders, grill and the question is does one painted the tailgate plaque as well?

    love it and it paint matched nicely. People will definitely do a double take. Black ftw!!! I have the applique delete for pretty much the same reasons with all that above, you're due for switching the rims to black o_O curious what did you do with the skid plate? i would love to see some...

    Skid Plate/Oil Access Panel, Stripped/lost U Bolt, (HELP)

    hello, seems the dealership has lost one of the skid plate U bolts and the torx screw when changing the oil filter (oil filter access panel?). I figured they stripped it and could not find a replacement part. I bought the T40 sized torx screw W505594-S440 but I need the U-bolt but cannot for...

    2019 Raptor Rattle

    i had a similar and the slightest of rattle that eased after a few mins and it didnt sound like the cam phasers on videos, turns out my raptor was short 1-1.5 quarts on oil, blended stuff burns quickly and it had only been 5k since i last changed it at the dealer. It went away immediately...

    Advice with Americas tire

    oem lug nuts are notoriously squishy and deformed easily. were these the ones that came from factory? i dont even think they can handle two tire rotations. (i had to use two different sockets) at 11k miles to remove them and switched them out for gorillas. bummer about all that damage and...
