    Pin Stripe FORD Grille

    Sa-Weeet! That is very subtle and classy! I might have to think about doing that with my red calipers, lower control arms and rear axle. I think that would be worth doing! Good job!!

    Merry Christmas !

    I just wanted to take the time this Christmas Eve Day to wish everyone out there in Raptor Land a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We're all lucky enough (and blessed enough) to have or be waiting for our sweet machines. Santa even brought me a new Drum Kit this year!! If we EVER...

    Who has used hill descent control yet?

    "I suggest arming and activating the system before you start going down the hill." X2 I've used it and found it a VERY nice feature. The "grinding" you hear is the ABS keeping your steering controllable, which is much better than locking up and not being able to steer at all! I would never...

    5.4 L tidbits

    Thanks for the info. I tucked it away with the rest of my Raptor Documents. You can never have TMI when it comes to your truck!!

    brake squeal when cold

    Freaky. That same thing happened to me today, first time ever and it was like 35 degrees. Happened only once, then went away. That's what I like about this forum. You never know what you'll learn my squeaky brothas! :tinman:

    Ford Raptor Exhaust Modification - Not What You'd Expect

    Thanks man. Yeah life's been pretty hectic for me lately. Hopefully I can see some normality for awhile now. Gotta start thinking about snowmobile Fall prep pretty soon though. I'm anxious to see how the Raptor does in the white stuff and how well it pulls the snowmobile trailer.

    Ford Raptor Exhaust Modification - Not What You'd Expect

    "I take great care of our vehicles and I really enjoy them looking like garage queens but the satisfaction from knowing I'm using their capabiltiies is greater than dreaming about a vehicle that could win a beauty contest" X2 Dan. I love the way my truck looks clean too, but I bought this...

    noise from rear of truck

    I had the same "clunk" sound and always thought it was the rear shock noise I always read about here. When I read about the weight, I wanted to find out once and for all what the noise was. Saturday I dropped my spare to check out the weight and when I went underneath the truck to move the...

    6.2 Transmission Sudden Downshift Pulling Heavy Load

    Yeah, he took it out of Tow/Haul to try and clear it, but continued to have issues. I forgot to mention too that when the big downshift happened (sending it to redline) he was on a multiple lane freeway and went to pass someone. When he pressed the pedal down to drop it down a gear or two, it...

    6.2 Transmission Sudden Downshift Pulling Heavy Load

    First off, I am asking this for a friend who has an F-350 Dually, I hope it's ok to ask this here since he has the 6.2/R680 engine/tranny combo, the same combo that Raptors have. This is a brand new (2011) truck and he has one of those campers that sits in the bed of the truck. He took the...

    Ugly Raptor jump redeamed

    DUDE!!! I saw your first vid and felt bad for the truck. Being a former motocrosser, I can verify that a tabletop jump is very much smoother when you clear it properly! That vid absolutely rocks! Awesome job, I'm jealous! That is big time air and we both know that having the BLACK Raptor...

    SIRIUSLY - When Sirius Radio & Travel Link 6 Months Expire

    With my subscription close to expiring, I called them to see what their best offer was. Like I mentioned in my earlier post, XM radio left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I swore never again would I let Sirius OR XM get their fingers into my checking account or my credit card account. I...

    Raptor Hood Graphics Kit

    Over-priced sticker BIG time, just like the over-priced digital mud graphics which I also passed on. My money is better spent on most anything else! :shakehead:

    Anyone change transmission oil?

    Please let us know how your transmission oil looks. I think that would be a good indicator as to if you needed to do it or not. Transmissions take a lot of punishment and I'm curious how the six-speed tranny his holding up. Better to do it too often than not enough IMHO.

    Test drive new vehicles!!

    I think that's an awesome attitude for a Ford Rep and Ford to have! If I lived in your area, I'd be right over to check them ALL out! Ford will surely succeed and meet their goals if they stay on course the way they have been...

    Raptor's For Sale

    Don't Like Super Crews, never did, never had one and probably never will. Just not the truck for me. I love the short wheelbase I have and the tough look it has.
