    GEN 2 Coolant Temperature Spike at Speed

    This is a PSA for anyone who has had this issue, as well as a Request for Information (probably from FordTechOne eventually) : About 2 months ago I noticed that if I was doing highway speeds (70 - 80 MPH) and I let off the accelerator my coolant temp would start to spike. Depending on how long...

    GEN 2 18 Months of Raptor Ownership, summized.

    I'm considering this summation of my 1.5 years of ownership (and continuing, spoiler, I don't want to sell it) a good intro or data point for people on the fence about buying themselves a used Gen2.

    A New Leak! (I checked) Advice needed

    Back in September (R.O Open 09/30/20) I took the Raptor in a pretty gnarly leak (Water coming out from the Rear View Mirror, like a stream, soaking me and the center console). Dealer replaced the sunroof tracks under warranty (Yay!) and the dealer also found cam phasers and did those as well in...

    Fixing the driver seat slump-- suggestions?

    You may all call me a peasant for this, but I bought my Raptor CPO-- one of the things I did not notice before I bought it was that it looked like the previous owner was a rather large individual who slid out of the driver's seat vice getting out of the vehicle. The left side of the driver seat...

    GEN 2 Is it possible with FORScan... [Yes I did research first]

    I know I'll be the only one who wants this....but I like the look of clean gauges, and while I tired the trans temp FORScan tweak, I didn't really like....so is it possible.... To remove DTE from the gauges....it's essentially a worthless gauge anyway IMHO. I'd rather just see how full/empty my...

    Add me to the cam phaser list, also a positive dealership story!

    BLUF: If you live in Jacksonville area, I whole heartedly recommend Bozard Ford in Saint Augustine. Was going to ze old girl in for a sun roof leak (When I say "leak", I mean "jet of water being shot at me" from the rearview mirror) and an A/C deodorize because my A/C smelled like a litterbox...

    Here's a new one: Water leaking from the Rear View mirror...

    Has anyone experienced this? It's been raining pretty hard in Jacksonville and this past weekend when attempting drive away from a parking spot a large stream of rain water spilled out from the rear view mirror area all over me. I'm not talking like drops. It was a steady stream and the trim...

    Rubbing/scrapping/thud noises

    Friends, While I was on my way to pick up the Facebook Marketplace deal of the day-- Ford branded full BedRug, never used, for $200-- I heard a rubbing / scraping noise from the front left wheel well section of the truck when I started from a stop a couple times. Kind of like the sound if you...

    Weird A/C Odor...plus an update!

    Friends, I have a weird odor emanating from the A/C (smells a little like mold), I'm guessing the first place to check would be the cabin air filter, but I was wondering if anyone else had something similar and it WASN'T just a filter. This also gives me an excuse to say what's been updated...

    Is it too late?

    I bought my 2017 SCREW Raptor CPO with a little over 48k miles on it. It does not have a catch can. I'm looking to purchase and install the JLT V3.0, I'm wondering 1) is it too late? 2) is there anything else I can do (engine cleaning wise) to help maintain the engine. Oh and obligatory photo:

    Random coolant temperature spikes...

    I've noticed on the highway (mostly when overtaking) that my coolant temperature is climbing to 238º+ and then coming back down when I let off. I really only noticed because (although I wanted to and I just didn't have the time) I never did the FORScan mod to show the temperature and when it got...

Looking forward to making her my own and documenting it here...looking for bed cover suggestions and...
