    Tri-chime when opening door?

    LOL not sure this is a problem, or just noticed. I was on vacation (without Raptor) and when I returned I noticed that the tri-chime started sounding as soon as I opened the door. No message on dash display or anything. Just seems weird that it starts chiming just by opening the door. But...

    Banging when putting in reverse?

    I have an intermittent problem. Occasionally, when putting into reverse, it will violently bang, the whole truck jerks. It is not idling high, no foot on the gas or anything. Sometimes same day or following day, the problem goes away. Get about once a month or so. Ideas? Hate to put it in...

    2018 front diff/CV leak

    Here in Las Vegas, the dealers are taking up to eight days to LOOK at a problem. You have to leave it with them the whole time! I have a fluid leak front diff/CV area, right side. I took a photo before I left it with them. Thought I'd see if this looked familiar to anyone and what it turned...

    Loose/hard shift into 8th

    I have a stock 2018 Raptor. I have noticed recently that it shifts differently when shifting into 8th. Under light throttle it seems to slip (i.e. the RPMs go up) and you can feel the forward acceleration lessen, then it engages. Under moderate throttle, it gives a harsher shift than the...

    Retrofit electric parking brake on 2018

    I have a 2018 Raptor. It has the old-fashioned "stomp" manual parking brake. I understand the 2019's have the EPB. Does anyone have a good Fords parts guy that I could work with to see how involved and $$ it would take to retrofit the electric parking brake on this vehicle? Or if you...

    Motive brake bleeder adapter?

    Anyone else use a Motive power brake bleeder? If so, what is the correct adapter? The Motive site application guide says the 1100 will fit as my 2018 Raptor uses a screw-on brake fluid cap. That adapter is titled as a "European adapter". Thought I'd check and see if anyone knows for sure...

    I had a prospective Raptor looked at my a Ford dealer. Said it was great, but noted that someone had used RTV to seal the headlights and it was trapping condensation. The truck is out of state, so I haven't seen it yet. Anyone know if there are just some vents that would have to be cleared...

    Recreate window sticker?

    I have spent quite a bit of time this morning trying to find a free way to recreate a Ford window sticker. I usually stop on those where they want you to download additional software and allow to update your tab search page, etc. I DON'T need malware to just read a PDF file. I found something...

    Street traction problem with open rear??

    Since (as I understand) the rear differential on a Raptor is open (i.e. non posi) doesn't that create a traction problem on the street? Yes, I know the differential can be electronically locked, but that is not usable for street driving. With a typical light rear end pickup, and the higher HP...
