    Cam phasers part #/ and can I postpone it.

    I got a quote for cam phasers while my truck is in for something else; but I'm in a tight spot financially right now. They started rattling about a year ago; can I keep postponing this without fear of ruining something else? And if I decide to go ahead and get it done what is the latest part...

    Think I lost a turbo. Upgrade?

    I left work the other day and noticed a loud whine sound coming from drivers side engine bay, under load, along with a loss of power and no boost showing on the gauge. I believe one of my turbos has died. No smoke and still runs fine under light throttle. Looking back last week I had used the...

    4A mode: Pulls way to hard to the right

    4A mode: Steering wheel pulls hard to the right only under acceleration. Its not just a little tug like torque steer in a front-wheel-drive car…no it’s a hard pull to the right that has me fighting the wheel and swerving. Been like that since I bought the truck new. 2019 model year built in Nov...

    Only drivers side seat responds to remote start

    So when I use remote start on cold mornings only the steering wheel and drivers seat heater comes on. Not the passenger seat or the rear seats. Is this normal or should they all activate with remote start?

    Rock/underbody lights for a purpose

    Anyone ever mess with rock lights on the bottom? I'm stepping in-and-out of the truck a lot at the ranch at night, and I thought it would be nice to light up the ground better to avoid an expensive snake bite. I see they sell specific "rock" lights but an underbody strip light kit might work...

    Front lights combination advice

    Looking for advice. I have zero experience with offroad lighting. I'm wanting to put some lights up front. Bumper and then A-pillar; no interest in filling the fog light holes at this time. My primary application is use out at a dusty south Texas ranch where there are some open stretches of dirt...

    Anybody else over the new Raptor R already?

    Nothing against the vehicle itself, just the rollout of it. Outrageously priced, dealership games, unobtainable...just a lot of hard feelings. And did I mention outrageously priced? LOL. Just a damn ford truck, but folks acting like they'd sacrifice their firstborn to get their hands on one.

    Whats broken? (sunroof shade)

    The glass portion of my sunroof is working fine, thank god. But recently the shade got to where it was struggling to close those last few inches. Then when I opened the shade i heard a couple of loud pops and two little tiny plastic tab-looking pieces fell out. Henceforth my sunshade will open...

    Noticing a slight transmission whine now

    Do you know the whine/whirl noise our transmissions make when driving in reverse?...I've started noticing my truck making that noise going forward in drive. Its not very loud and it clears up after a couple of minutes. Not sure if its normal and I'm just noticing after almost 3 years, or...

    Surprising issue after Icon leaf springs install

    I installed new Icon leaf springs on my 2019 Raptor. Retained the factory shackle and went with option 1 (softest) for now but do plan to go option 2 in the future. The issue I’m having is a metallic “clack” sound on big bumps. While I was underneath ruling out loose parts, such as the spare...

    Texas to Mexicali, Baja California

    I have a business trip coming up which takes me into Mexicali for a few daylight hours. Normally I'd fly into San Diego and take a rental car out there but this time around was thinking about driving my personal truck all the way over from Texas. Would driving my Raptor a few blocks into...

    New load range D tires, pressure?

    Put on some Nitto Trail Grappler MT, because I need mud tires for my lifestyle. These are same size as stock but load range D. Being that they are going to be a stiffer sidewall should I go up or down on pressure, compared to what I'd run with the stock KO2s? Discount tire initially set them at...

    UPDATED: Bringing up Geiser coil springs again

    Looking to raise the front end of my 2019. I installed 0 offset wheels and big mud tires now I get some rubbing...plus I like the look of a taller truck. I know Eibach are popular here because most discussions about springs always gravitate back to that brand, but I’d like more height than the...

    Cleaned out the closet...

    Realized that I have an old Infinity Baselink powered subwoofer laying around. No complaints with my '19 B&O system but thought it would be fun to set up the Baselink on a quick disconnect plug; would it be much trouble to tie in to the factory wiring? My truck is 802A Crew Cab with the factory...

    0mm offset and full suspension travel?

    Seems like 0mm offset is common. My concern is if I can still have full suspension articulation with a 17x9 0mm offset...and 35x12.5 tires? If not, would front leveling springs (Eibach) and rear Deaver +3s definitely allow for full articulation with that wheel set-up?? I'd hate to finally get...

    Can't charge my phone?

    This past weekend while camping I realized that I can't charge my phone via USB while the truck is parked without the engine running. Is this true or is there another port which stays powered? What about the round 12v accessory (cigarette lighter) port?

    Sqeaking underside

    My truck started squeaking from underneath recently and in spite of trying to keep the leave springs clean its gotten progressively worse. I think its squeaking at the front AND rear. I was thinking that I'd get under there and spray some penetrating oil; what spots should I target?

    There HAS to be something wrong with my truck

    2019 early build Raptor: Think I’ll take it back to the dealer next week. I’m still convinced that it rides abnormally rough. This past weekend I spent a couple days running the forest roads and was very disappointed. The ride is always stiff and jittery and I feel every single road...

    A few more questions for now

    Thanks for putting up with my noobness. 1) Regarding the load range on tires…I know that my OEM tires are rated as “C”; but the tires I want are rated as “E”. I’ve never worried about this on a ½ pick-up but how critical would it be on my ’19 Raptor? And what would be consequences of using a D...

    SSM 47757: Harsh ride quality.

    https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10153974-9999.pdf Just had my VDM updated yesterday on my early build 2019. Sorry to say it didn't help with my complaint. The ride on my truck is always jittery or fluttery, even on smooth concrete and at low neighborhood speeds. Feels like the rear of...

    I want to love my new truck, but still havent "connected" with it.

    I know folks on this forum feel passionately about their trucks…but I just want to lay my thoughts out there and see if anyone else has these thoughts. Had my 2019 Raptor for 6 months now. Traded in my 2007 Titan which I had bought new and put 200,000 miles on. While I like the Raptor I don’t...
