Anyone know if our trucks are affected by the Takata Recall?

Ive checked the ford owner site and it doesn't show anything. I thought it might have shown up for somebody else though.
I started troubleshooting my Spyder LED hyper-flash issue tonight. I started by checking the resistance of the stock 3057 bulb vs the Spyder LED. To be more precise, I measured the amperage draw of both setups, then back calculate to get the resistance. The 3057 bulb has to be tested under load...
Hey guys, I put the Spyder LED lights that I have had on 2 raptors before this on my new 2014. Now I'm getting intermittent hyper flash issues. I've had these on a 2012 and 2013 and never had a problem. If just one of the tail lights was doing it I would blame it on a resistor failure but theres...
I was dogging on "Vampire" Taps the other night and started wondering, what is the proper way to tap into an existing 12V wire? I googled it and I see this method of stripping the existing wire, splitting the strands, sticking the new wire through it, twisting it around, and electrical taping...
I found this wheel earlier. ATX doesnt list an application for the Raptor but Tirerack says the 18" version will fit. Anyone know of another factory look wheel i.e. black wheel with brushed aluminum streetlock ring that will fit the OEM tires?
Hey Guys,
When I bought my "new" truck I noticed that the battery terminals were corroded. I cleaned them and the battery up and put it back. After a couple of weeks I can see where fluid has come out of the battery from the vents. I called the Ford dealer and they told me that battery issues...
I noticed when towing that my transmission gets way up into the 220's which is way to high for me.
Seems to be two options for cooling: Larger Pan and Forced Air Transmission Cooler.
Here are some questions for you guys:
Does the larger pan really help that much? I understand that...
I searched and didn't find any threads on this (to my surprise). I can't find any OEM HID headlights cheaper than ~$1100 on ebay. Any suggestions?
Thanks
The steering seems hard on my 2012. Fluid looks fine but the steering feels hard and there is a slight grinding you can feel in the wheel when you put load on the power-steering system. Going down the road and very slightly putting left or right pressure on the steering wheel.
Maybe I'm just...
Just bought a 2012 with about 30k miles on it. Should I go ahead and change the fluid in the transmission? I usually drop the pan, change the filter and then use the pump on the transmission to pump fluid out the return line until its nice and red. The maintenance schedule says 150,000 miles but...
Hey Guys,
I picked up this 2012 in Albuquerque last night. Its it pretty good shape. Has about 30k miles but clearly someone took good care of it. Not sure about the "Custom" Vinyl. I might have to have some removed/replaced. I picked it up pretty cheap and it already has a Flowmaster...
Hey Guys I just stumbled across this:

Sorry if it is a re-post but I thought it was pretty interesting. Definitely confirms why I stay away from cheap filters.
Hey guys. I'm back... Just picked up a 2013 race red screw fully loaded. God I missed having a Raptor. Pics to come soon! Too bad I'm going to have to redo all my mods. Anyways glad to be back...
Hey guys. I sold my 2012 Raptor and now I'm selling the SCT X3 tuner that I had for it. It has 3 5 star tunes, Performance 91, Towing 91, and Economy 87. $300 takes it. PM me if interested.
Hey Guys,
I've decided to sell my truck. I just can't afford it anymore with daycare for my kid being $1100 a month.
Its a 2012 Race Red SCREW with less than 6000 miles on it. It has every available option except for the Front Camera.
Mod List:
Smiths Ultimate Spray in Bed Liner

Is there a tire shine product that will make my tires look dark and maybe a little shiny but won't turn my tires poop brown after two weeks? Everything I've tried ends up turning them brown and you have to use a lot of bleach-wite to get all the brown off and make them look black again. I don't...
Hey Guys,
Its time to add some protection to the paint on the Raptor. I think I will use a synthetic sealant as opposed to an actual wax. (thanks to Boss Hoss for teaching me the difference) I wan't something that lasts a long time and is easy to apply. My question is: For those of you using...
Hey Guys. My Smoked Spyder LED Taillights came in today and I thought I would write up the install for people who might be considering this mod. The tail lights came packaged very well. They were wrapped in plastic and then surrounded by self-expanding foam.
The electronics on them...
