I live outside of Abilene, Texas. There’s a company called Mister Hotshine that owns just about every auto wash in town with the tracks. They told me not to come back (politely) with the Raptor due to the width and it possibly breaking their equipment. I’ve found a few smaller touch less single...
I’ve been pondering a new steering rack as well. Mine has a bit of slack at 146k. I’ve had horrible troubles out of Cardone stuff for an older duramax work truck from advance, and the shop I use some said the same. Just from that experience and advice, I’ve stayed clear of cardone parts of at...
We drove from Corpus to Port Mansfield a couple of summers ago, and we went to spi and drove up to Port Mansfield in February. Really fun and pretty (other than the trash) down there. Way different than our dry West Texas area north of Abilene.
Awesome pics; have a great time!
Welcome to the Gen 1 world! I just lurk here a little. I’ve had my ‘12 since Dec ‘18. Bought it with 83k, and it rolled over on 134k yesterday. I came from a ‘16 duramax, and I sure love my Raptor. I did install a Phoenix tablet this past Monday. I’m still learning a few tricks, but I do like it.

My shop looked in each cylinder with a bore scope and saw nothing wrong. I had them pull the left valve cover, and they said everything looked normal. They turned it over, and it all worked normal...
I’m wondering about a partially stuck valve that worked itself back free. I may try some...
I talked to my shop this morning. The owner thinks something was on a piston...could’ve been a stuck valve. They are going to remove plugs and look with a bore scope. I asked him to pull the valve covers and have a look on top as well.
I would think it would have escalated to severe in 12-15...
I have a 2012 I bought last December with 93k. It now has 105k. A couple of weeks ago it started making a louder than before ticking. I took it to a shop because I decided it was an exhaust leak. They looked and couldn’t find a leak. They listened and researched and said it was valve train or...
