    Easy Seat Mod for Big Guys

    I recently replaced my driver's side seat cover, primarily for a bleached-out spot in the center of the seat. There was also a small 1" tear along the side where the side of the seat collapses as you slide out. That was caused by my fat butt. When I replaced the seat cushion, I placed a piece...

    Cobb Accessport TCM Tune????

    I have a 2019 Raptor that is completely stock. I'm interested in adding the Cobb Accessport ECM/TCM primarily to improve the shifting. Here is my question.....I tow the truck behind my diesel pusher motorhome. This requires putting the transmission into NEUTRAL TOW. There have been at least a...

    Parking Brake Alert Malfunction - Help

    I have a 2019 Raptor with about 27K miles. The other day while driving on the freeway, the dash lit up and said Parking Brake Malfunction. I got a picture of the wrench, the dash display told me multiple things were now unavailable, including changing driving modes. I thought the world was...

    Power Seat Control Cover

    This may be a silly a question, but I will ask. I love everything about my 2019 Raptor Super Crew except the power seat controls. I have a big butt and legs and I'm no spring chicken, so I just don't jump into my truck. About 50% of the time, I clip the seat controls. When you do this, it...

    GEN 2 Transmission Failure while being towed

    I tow a 2019 Ford Raptor behind my diesel pusher motorhome. There have been some reports on the RV Forums that a Raptor and other F-150 4x4's have destroyed the transmission while being towed. The trucks are designed for Recreational Towing (in the Manual) and are set to tow by following a...

    Using Acronyms

    I may take a beating for this, but I'll say it anyways. I'm a 65 year old Raptor owner, I do all my own servicing, mods and work on my vehicles, since I was 16. Unfortunately, as I get older and more things become electronically operated, I'm being pushed out of doing a lot of work on newer...

    Performance after battery disconnect

    This may be an odd question and just my imagination..... On three different occasions, my truck seemed to perform remarkably better after I disconnected and reconnected the battery. When I test drove the truck during purchase it ran well and I was okay with the performance. Later I added some...

    Front Axle Leak

    I took my Raptor into the Ford dealer for it's first oil change (Free) at 4800 miles. They knocked it out in about an hour, but told me that I had a leak at the front right drive boot. I thought.....they must have seen some seepage, glad they caught it. At that service they didn't rotate the...

    Magnetic Paint Chip Repair

    Paint repair tip.......On a recent camping trip to Moab, Utah (we tow the Raptor behind our motor home) we took the truck off road for a few miles. My truck is more of a mall crawler, but we had fun on a couple of service roads. When we got home, I found I had a bunch of really small (pencil tip...

    Odd Wiring near Interior Fuse Panel

    Today, I removed the passenger side fuse cover and kick panel to install the tailgate release wiring. With the kick panel off, you can see all the electronics in and around the fuse panel. I found an after market spade connector screwed into the sheet metal (ground) and a couple of wires where...

    Mod to Rear Seat Release

    I bought the driver's side rear passenger seat release from Seven Sparta (below). Even though it works well, you still have to fumble for the strap and hope it doesn't fall down behind the seat. To remedy this, I took a small cable, put a loop on one end and a hook on the other. I used...

    2019 Tailgate Applique

    Does anyone know how the tailgate applique (big plastic panel) on a 2019 is attached? Is it just tape or are there screws holding it on? Thanks

    Hood Latch Lever Access

    I did a search and didn't find anything. This may sound silly, but I have fat Flintstone hands and find it very difficult to reach the lever under the hood. I can only get one finger on the lever and it's difficult to manipulate. Has anyone modified the lever...... before I look at doing...

    Sun Visor Label Removal

    Has anyone had any success with removing the two labels on the driver's visor and one on the passenger visor. I tried to remove them on a previous GM product and it didn't come out well. Funny thing, if you buy a new one, it comes without the labels. :nono: I'm new....so I have to ask, why are...

    Things You DIscovered About Your Raptor

    I bought a new 2019 Raptor, Magnetic with the 802a package, Raptor Technology package and a couple of other typical options. I've had both knees replaced in the last six months, so working on it has been slow. I ordered a Bakflip MX4 toneau cover, AMP running boards, under seat storage box and...
