    The right way to install GEN 2 Shocks on a GEN 1!

    Finally got around to installing my front shocks from Doug! Shipping was super quick, shocks were well packaged, and absolutely mint condition. Almost felt bad installing them on my shock oil stained truck lol. Went from stock 2.5 rebuilds on low perch\stock springs to Doug's shocks w\Geiser's...

    Installing seat cover thread

    I've had the Richmond site bookmarked forever as an "eventually" purchase since I bought my truck with a nice tear pre-installed right next to the raptor embroidered logo. Super interested in pics/impressions when all you're all done!

    GEN 1 6.2 Misfire, no DTC(s), Plug oil fouled?

    Agree and negative, boot was clean. Wish I was driving more so I could put on some miles quicker so I can re-inspect.

    NGK Ruthenium plugs

    Not running them in the 6.2 but I ran them on my previous car, Mazda DISI motor, it was DI and high boost which is really hard on plugs. Would normally replace iridium's at 15k intervals. Not sure its worth the extra cost over the regular NGK platinums/laser iridium's in this case considering...

    GEN 1 6.2 Misfire, no DTC(s), Plug oil fouled?

    From what I read the lower plug fires slightly after top plug to burn any left over fuel for emissions. The truck could theoretically run with no lower plugs, but would probably be unhappy. Put about 50 miles on it so far and no more misfires on 8 but it will take at least a few more weeks of...

    GEN 1 6.2 Misfire, no DTC(s), Plug oil fouled?

    Thanks for the feedback. Valve cover would make sense if it were top plugs but there's no external oil seepage that I can see towards the bottom side. Not familiar with the cam seal but I will check it over real good. I am working from home and don't drive much so I will pull the plug again...

    GEN 1 6.2 Misfire, no DTC(s), Plug oil fouled?

    Last year around this time I replaced all 16 plugs\wires, recently replaced boots and pellets on the coils. Truck currently has about 98k, less than 10k on the plug in the pics. During my state inspection last month the tech noted he felt a misfire at idle. I figured he wasn't used to the...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I do not have a front camera but I think there was a workaround mentioned in this thread: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/2013-2014-raptors-sync-2-sync-3-upgrade.53752/page-23#post-1527380 I bought mine from ebay seller "theexpanse2016" but I think all these kits are the same. I spent...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    If you don't have any maintenance due where that money is better spent, hell yes. If you daily your truck and run maps/waze/spotify the entire time like I do, it's easily the best $650 you can spend. The system is way more responsive in general. Hope some others chime in with their opinions.

    Shipping was fine got here in under a week, packaging was good. Initial quality seems good but these are all definetly 'cloned' parts even down to the elm/obd2 usb cable, forscan says so. The sticker on the APIM has model from a 2017 but a mfg date of 2019 to look legit from my understanding...

    I was able to update the boot screen to the raptor one easy enough. No luck on the right steering wheel controls though, only volume. The settings match my as built, might be out of luck there. If anyone has any advice let me know - @jgwoody @TrevsRaptor do y'all's work?

    https://imgur.com/a/HRYRDpr Here you go. I still have the screen protector on from shipping so don't mind that in the pics. Dash wise it looks the same as the old screen. Spent a couple hours driving around yesterday. GPS seemed to sync itself once I drove around. Now, the only thing I...

    Installed this evening. So far so good, initially all the functionality looks good except my gps antenna, will reseat it and do some more testing over the weekend. For the price I am happy with the quality, though I'm pretty sure these aren't OEM ford parts if that matters to you. The snappier...

    Carplay Dongle with a Gen1 and Sync 2

    I think you are confusing 2 different things. The 3rd party dongles just enable wireless android auto/apple carplay so you don't have to be plugged in. I could be wrong though...? Only way to get carplay in a gen1 involves replacing the physical hardware from a newer vehicle, AFAIK.

    I put in an order from this seller. Will have some additional feedback in a few weeks I imagine. My wallet hates all of you. Sidenote seems like sync is pretty well hacked for future updates/tweaks of the APIM. Check out https://cyanlabs.net/applications/syn3-updater/

    GEN 1 14 Stock front springs have snapped, replace with OEM or upgrade?

    I'm interested to hear more about this as well. Gearing up to order coils and leafs. In theory the progressive Giesers would be softer on small imperfections on pavement over the linear Eibach? Like others have mentioned my E rated K02s ride like bricks even at ~36psi but the tread life has...

    Hose recommendation for Fumoto valve?

    Oh, nice. For some reason I thought the gen2 had a composite pan/plug. The Gen1 plug is centered on the back of the pan in a little recessed area which looks like it would work better with the old style fumoto.

    NH Inspection with Tint?

    Does your state inspection require window glass? I may or may not have rolled down my windows and pulled the fuses for them in a past life to pass inspection.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Yeah my wiper arms are pitted/sun faded down to metal in some spots. Planning to red scuff pad/clean/etch primer/trim paint. Will have to look up the SEM details to see if there's any uv protection or top with a matte clear. Truck has spent it's life in the Texas sun.

    Hose recommendation for Fumoto valve?

    Assuming Gen1? Have a pic of what it looks like on the pan? Planning to get one for my next oil change. I know they make a few different models now that can swivel, etc. They make fuel rated clear line for small engine\carbs - should be able to find some at the auto parts store, oil will...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Very nice. Do you know what the difference between the SEM bumper coat vs trim paint is? I have been planning on doing my wiper arms. What was prep like for the trim, light scuff? Did you use any primer for the wiper arms first?

    6.2 NEW Volant Exhaust + Corsa Res Delete - Vid and Pics

    Bumping a dead thread just to say the Volant and resonator delete combo is still alive and well in 2020. There are some cheaper options for resonator delete pipes now other than just the Corsa (I went with FactionFab). I read this thread a few times while debating what catback I wanted, and in...
