    Advice needed on first gen pricing

    So I bought my 2010 SCAB with 182,000+ miles on it. I did purchase it around 3 years ago so I did get a much better price and just so you know I have put another ~30k miles on the truck since owning it and for the most part it has been trouble free. I have had to complete the typical items such...

    Advice regarding mileage

    So I have 2 different Gen 1's, the white SCAB is a 2010 with over 205k miles on it and all factory, no issues at all. My red 2014 SCREW has just over 40k miles and also no issues. I am the 2nd owner on both. I agree with what others have stated, but for me it's the maintenance and how things...

    Prospective owner

    From what I have heard and read on the forum most folks with 2017 Raptors have had issues with cam sensors and oil pan leaks, I would say stay away from that year because it sounds like they had issues to resolve. As to the 3.5 ecoboost, my Son has a 2012 F150 FX4 while I understand it's not a...

    Buying a high mileage raptor

    I understand completely when buying any vehicle let alone a beast such as the Raptor. I bought my 2010 SCab with ~182k miles on it. It was a one owner and I was able to go to the dealer and pull all the maintenance records for the truck. I have now owned the truck for a little less than 2 years...

    Backup Camera or Lights?

    Absolutely camera, but also lights. There are many places you can place the lights to assist, be careful that they don't flood out the camera. If you can place the camera in the tailgate like the factory I would suggest this with lights down low. I agree completely with Rollofire.

    TPMS Adjustment

    All I had my tires rotated and balanced by the good folks at Discount this week. They were able to plug into the truck and adjust the TPMS settings on the truck down where I could run at ~30-34 PSI. The challenge that I am having is there's an interior light on the drivers side lower portion of...

    PD1744's Build

    It just amazes me how much work you get done on the truck. I tried all sorts of con torsion techniques to tighten the bolts and finally ended up using my pass through socket racket set and placing a 5/16 on the top side of the shock. The challenge was getting enough room to hold one side while...

    PD1744's Build

    So I finally got time to try tightening this hardware, I forgot how hard it is to access this in the truck. I don't know if I actually was able to get any real torque on it but the truck does seem quieter. I really appreciate you sharing this info and other items with us.

    GEN 1 E rated tire PSI

    MTF, no issues at all, I plan to install a SCT tuner I just wanted to make sure.

    GEN 1 E rated tire PSI

    @MTF did you have to adjust the settings on the computer to make it where you did not get a low pressure reading from the TPMS with these pressures. If so did you use a ForScan and do you remember where to navigate to for this?

    Vland lights

    After looking at the VLAND, I was concerned with the quality. I know the XB's are really high quality and my 2010 needs some better lights, I just am struggling with spending that much for the lights. My 2014 has the factory HID's and I am really impressed with how well they light. I would like...

    Vland lights

    I'm really interested in these if you find anything out please let me know. I really want a set of Mori XB like some others have but they are a bit pricey.

    ZION...B4 The Park Entrance

    John M this is awesome, I just returned from Zion, Bryce and Escalante 2 days ago and you are absolutely correct this is just an amazing area. I was not able to spend anytime off roading and only really short hikes but for the rest of the folks, this is a must see. I would strongly suggest a...

    Doing good and I do have the mechanical issues as well. Just crossed the 201K mile barrier and think that I will have to perform the front end maintenance that you have completed. I am really interested in the Devers and your perception on how it changed/improved the truck. I have not completely...

I have to tear into my 2010 soon, my electrical dash issue has returned and it looks like I will need to get this repaired once and for all. Are you interested in making a house call to NM...

    Issues with Gauge Cluster and electrical

    So my 2010 occasionally has the same issue, when it first started I would lose hill decent and active traction. Over time it got progressively worse where my gauges would go dead and then total loss of power at times. I found that when I removed the gauge cluster and reinstalled it things would...
