    180000 mile 2017 raptor?

    There was a white 17 in the carmel ca area for sale with 250k+ a month or two ago. I'm just about to hit 120k on an 18. Stage 2 since 50k miles. It had phasers and the software update, a water pump, front wheel hubs, and the drivers seat cushion is flattened out. I'll throw a new longblock in if...

    New phasers = power loss

    I'ts not like my truck made 100 less hp after, But there was a new tuning strategy that was released through ford along with the updated parts. It was noticeable and changed the trucks engine character.

    New phasers = power loss

    In my opinion, my 2018 was more peppy pre-cam phaser fix. It's as if the Rpm's do not rise and fall as fast.

    CEL misfire during hard acceleration

    Same issue, 120k hard miles on the truck (2018). Stage 2 goosetuned. Cleaning the Map sensors helped, gapping to .026 cured all signs of misfire and the truck runs like it has since low mileage.

    Chalked my new BFGs

    Common in road racing to check after each session as mentioned above. I guess the results could/would apply to comfort as well. Good Idea

    Driving Mode Use Cases

    For ultimate track times you engage sport mode, twist the dial to 4a, steering to comfort, and hold down the traction button until everything is off. Of course this is only done after you reprogram the tcm and have goosetuned unlock some power

    Which Icon rear spring setting for me.

    I've got a supercab with icon rear leafs in option 1 (softest) paired to fox factory bypass shocks. Towed a 2300lb empty trailer with 2 700lb harleys no problem. Just got back from towing a near 5k airstream w weight distribution hitch absolutely no issues at all at around 460lb hitch weight...

    Icon Leaf springs and towing

    I've got a supercab on Icons at stage 1. Fox Factory shocks all around so (2") lift up front. I haven't tried the option 2 but it would surely help out regardless of shackles. It's not about power or the strength of components...the supercab is a very short wheel base truck on really soft...

    To upper arm or not

    I'm in the same boat. I have a mild lift w/ Fox Factory coilovers. I drive hard enough between mountains, off road, and street miles to burn up a set of oem tires per year. It seems harder to get a good alignment as the miles add up etc. Never seen a set of broken ones in all my browsing online...

    best way to level

    Idk, I had the eibachs and the shock topping out over anything semi agressive got really annoying fast. Curious if anyone else had the same experience. The Fox Factory coilovers did the trick...lifted, can tune the ride however you want, no noise.

    Camburg Billet UCA vs SVC Billet UCA

    Are the SVC's the only ones that don't require unbolting the UCA to adjust or am I not understanding how the others work? Is there an actual difference in the angle of the joint or is it just marketing? Thanks

    Camburg Billet UCA vs SVC Billet UCA

    Is the Machined Contour noted with the SVC arms worth the extra price over the Camburg Billet UCA's? They also require drilling out the spindle larger, and require 0 degree offset wheels, but can be adjusted on the truck...Interested in any well informed feedback. Would like to buy the best...

    Stage 4 CRP Turbos Revisted (ZFGRACING)

    yea maybe he meant 5 not 6. I haul junk with my supercab to the dumps and unloaded it's usually at about 5800 with me in it. No sunroof, stock tire size etc.

    Dealers and Warranty work

    Dealers are struggling with employees, parts, and a less patient clientele. They also seem to have given up a lot of professionalism as most industries seem to have. Keep calling around..I was able to find a small local dealer I had no idea even existed. My experience was exceptional, easy, and...

    Big Brake Kit

    I think the $1000 ebay stuff would have to be searched under "Roush" brakes... They are the same caliper but black.

    Higher mileage Raptors, it's time to start checking front hubs/bearings.

    Aside from measuring the poke of the axle shaft. It's very straight forward typical. I just remove the hubs and when one is ready to install, I start the truck to disengage the iwe and slip the new hub on and bolt it in.

    Higher mileage Raptors, it's time to start checking front hubs/bearings.

    I also found a great benefit (after the cam phaser repairs were completed) to have the truck reflashed by ford. The truck just didn't run as smoothly as it did before the cam phaser issues began and my dealership was able to get it right. These trucks in my opinion should be very smooth...

    Higher mileage Raptors, it's time to start checking front hubs/bearings.

    I did update the $15 check valve with the blue one (The factory 18' one was black) just for the heck of it. It did not ever have issues with awd or 4wd and i've used it a lot living in Lake Tahoe. I attribute the wear to being driven more like a sports car then a truck, the mileage, and just...

    Best mods for Gen 2 Ford Raptor without voiding warranty

    The supercab in stock form is awesome. Just maintain it well, keep the right tire psi, and try not to add a bunch of unnecessary weight. If I were you I would do alcon brakes, high end led lights in the bumper, and a stereo upgrade. Just enjoy and use the truck. Be careful with the exhaust...

    Higher mileage Raptors, it's time to start checking front hubs/bearings.

    My truck has 82k well used miles on it. It's been maintained, doesn't burn oil or drip or anything. Over time, it's lost some of the sharpness, started to vibrate, and handle a little poorly. I swapped out both front hubs and she's back to new feeling in the front. Easy to do in your own garage...

    Cam Phaser debacle

    I went through to the same thing. Programming and then physical part replacement. You should be good to go afterwards. Just note how the truck runs afterwards, it may need 1 more reflash to be back in all its glory. I had mine reflashed recently at the dealer and all the weird idle, vibrations...

    Gen 2 Front Wheel Bearings?

    I am replacing both of mine at 80k. Drivers side was done last week, no play or gritty feeling spinning it. The passenger side has no play, and it wasn't until I removed the brake assembly that I was able to spin it (under vacuum/hubs disengaged) and hear/feel grinding. The faster I spin it...

    Humming/vibration/buzzing feeling in steering wheel

    I have a funny vibration when turning one direction and perfect smoothness the other way. I thought it was my tires as well and had them replaced. Little to no fix. Off to the dealer wednesday.
