Upper is done. Lower will be fitted (that looks more difficult). Not sure about how to do the heater core hoses. Difficult job? I also swapped out the thermostat.

Thanks. Not used to vehicles where I cannot do simple things.

So my new to me 120,000 mile 2013 6.2 Raptor has straight water in the cooling system. No bueno. I unthread the drain on the rad, about a half gallon dribbles out until the flow stops. I replace the plug and fill it with fresh distilled water, run the truck with the heaters on full until the...

Alas, as a buyer overseas, I am not certain what Ford will do. I will probably supply Motul full synthetic to the dealer when it goes in for service and fight to get them to lower the bill to account for the oil they are not selling to me. If there is a warranty issue, I expect a fight, even...

Well the oil saga continues. Sort of. The dealer mandates 10,000 km service intervals for a 2020 Raptor, but I change the oil myself at 5000 km intervals (my last truck had 430,000 km on the original engine and ran perfectly when I sold it, so I am comfortable with those intervals). So the...

Wow. I learn something new every day. I have taken apart a few engines, but never seen an oil pump which could do that.

My 2020 Raptor has only 2800 km on it. Runs perfect. Recent (precautionary) first oil change with correct 5w30. No warning lights. No engine trouble. On cruise control at around 130 km/h (2000 rpm) the oil pressure sits steady at 1.6 bar (about 23 psi, which seems low) but every 30-45 seconds...

Ha. No Walmart, K mart or any sort of "mart" here. Unless you need a new carpet.

I took the advice offered (thanks) and will not use the 5w50. Unfortunately, other choices such as Pennzoil and Amsoil are not available where I live and Mobil 1 15w30 full synthetic is out of stock. I will try to get Shell or Motul 5w30 which meets Ford specs, as that may be the only locally...

Thanks for the advice. I am surprised that the internal clearances would be significantly different in a Raptor vs. a Ford GT, but anything is possible (with almost 50% more hp the GT application would have to deal with more heat). As Amsoil is not available where I live, I am looking for...

Oil questions can be repetitive and tiring, but here goes. When I visited my local dealer, they advised that they fill 450 hp Ratptors with 5w30 Motorcraft semi-synthetic oil, while they fill 650 hp Ford GTs with 5w50 Motorcraft full synthetic oil. Both have versions of the 3.5 EcoBoost...

Yes! It’s fantastic! 2020 supercab in red. I have not even had time to run one tank of fuel through it yet however.

The Ford OEM parts fiche suggests that the 2020 Raptor and F150 share the same tank part numbers for both big and small tanks. I only get delivery of my 2020 SCAB next week; when I get it I will make some measurements between the back of the tank and the rear axle and advise. If fitting a...

From the video I saw, the difference between the 26 and 36 gallon tank seems to be its depth (height) and not its length, but the SCREW has a longer wheelbase. I looked up the part numbers and noticed that there are only 2 tanks listed for a 2020 Raptor on the OEM Ford parts site: What...

Hi, I am new to the forum, and am about to pull the trigger on a new, leftover 2020 base model SCAB which my local dealer has in stock and is offering a good discount on. My biggest concern is red or silver grey. Other than wishing I could retrofit a larger, 36 gallon tank in a SCAB (I don't...

Thanks, I watched a youtube video by someone who did the tank swap, but their truck was the full 4 door. You may be right. I wonder if the supercab regular F150 offered a big tank option. Ford definitely does not offer it as a factory option on the Raptor. Too bad.

Can this be done? My local dealer has a few 2020 models available, but I would want a bigger tank if I buy it. The parts are not that expensive, but can a bigger tank be installed into the shorter 2020 Raptor?
