    Winch wiring - Ford Raptor

    the battery is rated at about 650 cca IIRC... assuming that the alternator gives you 150 amps that is a total of 800... not sure why you do not think this system will support that winch...

    Winch wiring - Ford Raptor

    actually it is not... if you want to use a switch run it to a relay that can withstand the correct draw and run that to the battery.

    Confirmation on 6.2 pleez!!!!

    The flip side of this is that you get a discount on your BMW if you pick it up in Germany... You get to drive it for a week then they ship it stateside, and you get to bypass some import tariffs as the car is "used".

    Confirmation on 6.2 pleez!!!!

    Like I said, I do not believe factory delivery is an option... When I said 500 plus invoice I meant I went to the dealership and said "what is invoice" then "ok I will pay 500 more than that", probably not as good as ENCS, but still a great deal. I have not been to Korea, but in Europe and in...

    Confirmation on 6.2 pleez!!!!

    Ford does not have a factory option IIRC. Also factory pickup generally costs more not less (see corvette). I would watch ENCS, good guys doing their best, but they are generally British, have never lived in the US and know absolutely about the US car industry beyond what their computer screen...

    GPS - Changing What is Displayed?

    IIRC there may be a couple of misconceptions in this (I may be wrong)... Firstly, Ford CANNOT contact your truck at any time; you have to have your phone in the truck with bluetooth active for any communication to occur. The truck has no transmitter built into it and pushing an update without a...

    Two New "Rules"

    Or a winch, two spare raptors and a snatch block.

    Two New "Rules"

    A hi lift, base plate, and two sand ladders would have made that recovery WAY easier.

    Two New "Rules"

    You only need one shakle... loop the tow rope through itself for one end.... the less hardware you use the safer it is.

    nice... one more thing I did not know I needed.

    What would you notice if you had 2 non-Raptor spec BFGs and 2-Raptor Spec BFGs on the truck.

    That might be a slight problem as IIRC the tires have a slightly different OD and are slightly different stiffness. Would be particularly noticable if both rear wheels were to hit the same object at speed as they would attempt to act slightly differently. I am basing this mostly on my...

    Just How Expensive is our Gas Versus Gas in Other Countries Around the World?

    Dan; You missed two key things: 1) we do not have enough proven crude reserves to make a surge in drilling worth it. 2) we have massive (trillions of barrels) of oil shale, which WILL get utilised if oil (not gas) prices loose volatility and remain high. The first point means that...

    Just How Expensive is our Gas Versus Gas in Other Countries Around the World?

    @ Dan... The US has enough proven crude reserves to supply US demand for a little over three years at current consumption rates. Admitedly we probably have more than that in unexplored/undiscovered areas, but that is getting into Donald Rumsfeld "unknown unknowns" territories. Also, just as...

    @Dan Livernois does pickup and delivery... @brady not sure that 2) is achievable NA... You will probably get to 1) if you throw any of the big mod motor house's catalogs at your engine; heads, intake, raised CR, bigger cams, throttle body, unicorn tears...

    New General Grabber

    Last two times I was pulled over I had expired inspection and registration stickers on my car and did not get ticketed. Dan still as dearler tags on his truck... pretty sure the DOT tag will generally be a non issue.
