FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! One less concern and that was a big one for me. Ok so my apologies OP and all for having that wrong as a concern with this engine.

Is it behind the timing cover? It sounds like you are saying no. Can't say I've looked and certainly don't want to spread misinformation if this engine is not susceptible to the catastrophic failure some 3.5L engines have when coolant is able to leak into the oil. It would be outstanding if...

FWIW I just went through this. You didn't say if this is a daily driver for you or a toy so hard to gauge your annual miles which would potentially change what I'm about to say. I'm daily driving. Less miles these days but still probably 12-15k annually. If it's a toy and/or you don't have a...

Maybe take it in is the right answer but thought I'd check first. I see some other posts but theirs don't look like this. Not sure how to truly check but this appears to be oil coming from the rear shock which isn't usually a good sign. Out of my element with these fox shocks and this shroud...

Got it! Ok, I'll do that. Thanks! These lights are all white (no amber) and it sounds more and more like they are cheap Chinese lights so I don't think there will ever be a time when I want just one or two lights that I would not just want all three on at the same time so I do not need...

You got it. There are actually two relays up near the battery but I already made a mess of this thread so I figured I would keep it simple. Three light wires need to connect to a source power wire and five ground wires need to be connected together. Whatever the right approach is to those two...

Here's one with labels. That should say Driver Side but I was moving too fast. :)

Here is one where you can see the thicker red wires coming down from the relay and the thicker black wire also coming from the relay getting joined to the passenger side lights.

I stand corrected. There’s actually only four wires to join together. Digging in more this morning there is a relay up near the battery. What comes down from up there is one ground wire and two power wires so there is one power wire for each side of the truck. Each light on the passenger side...

I like these solder seal connectors but they look like they are for one wire connecting to another. I have a power wire from each of the three fog lights on a side, a power wire leading over to the other side for those lights, and a power wire coming from the source. So five wires need to be...

Ah good to know. If they don't hold up I'll be in the market for non-cheap Chinese lights.

I believe it's corroded or coming loose or something like that. If I jiggle or pinch just the positive wire I'll get some to come on. Just worth a redo to fix it correctly. On the driver side if may well be the ground because if I use a multimeter the positive wire does have voltage. It's...

Fog lights on my new to me raptor don't work very well. If I move the butt connectors around some light up so, one side doesn't work at all. I'm going to redo the wiring to these. The pic isn't great and you can't see all of the wires going into the connectors very well but there are quite a...

My most recent was an S4 which was actually great on mpg, even tuned, but couldn't hold a candle to that S8. All relative I guess. I'll whine about buying a truck just as oil barrels double in price (since election) and may well double again but I wouldn't trade it for the world. This thing...

LOL, touché! My past three cars have been white so primer grey is a step forward.

New to me 2020 Raptor in Lead Foot! I wanted a Lead Foot 2018, then sold myself into the refreshed features on the 2019 which didn't have Lead Foot as a color, and it just so happened that a 2020 truck with higher miles than I wanted hit the market and in 2020 they brought Lead Foot back...

Thought a pic would help. I guess those two marks at the bottom that appear to be on the housing just wiped off.

Finally found THE truck. The side view mirror glass is smashed pretty good. But somehow it looks like it's just the glass. No damage to the side mirror housing itself. Least not that I can tell. Dealer is already replacing the broken glass but does anyone know what all tech is in there...

You guys are giving much more kind answers than I expected. :) Thanks, will pass.

Looking at a Raptor with the beadlock wheels and dealer wants to bundle a wheel/tire warranty covering anything including sidewall punctures and loss of pressure type wheel issues (not scratches). Almost instinctively I would say no way to something like this. However, first truck, first...

Ha, I'm searching and looked at this same one but I've talked myself out of black. Good luck fellow competitor truck searcher!

Wow that's insane. So without much detail as that's not the point of this thread and I can search for other comments but is there something I should plan to do to the underside of this used truck to help protect against the salt/rust or just leave it along and wash it as soon as possible after...

Lack of knowledge question, but why is an undercoating a bad thing? I live where we get snow and even if we don't get snow we get ice and therefore lots and lots of salt or whatever they use now (mag clor) that seems to be terrible for the underside of any vehicle. Guess I was thinking an...

Grille marker lights aren’t on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so should I just roll the dice on this underside stuff and not worry about it too much? It was from another post where someone mentioned favoring a pavement princess over an heavily off-roaded truck and that both made sense as well as was something I hadn't considered. So that's what...
