    Sirius not capable of audio

    Sirius was indeed running a free trial for the past couple of weeks. Like Noah said, it's a problem with Sirius...as in probably a rep who either didn't want, or know how to properly reference the information. My father had problems recently and had some frustrations with one of the reps. Just...

    Hill Descent Mode

    I used it this past Friday and I didn't notice any unusual noises/sounds. I don't know the grade percentage, but it was moderate to steep while towing about 2500 lbs of trailer/load.

    Interior Cleaning Recommendations

    Others may have different experiences with Armor-All than me, but I will not allow it anywhere near either of my automobiles. Sure, it provides a temporary shine. But it leaves a greasy, slimy residue. It seems to actually attract dust. And in my experience, it will prematurely dry out interior...

    got a favor to ask some vendors

    I still need to give you a call and talk to you Busa. Per our pm conversation, if you're going to be here in January, that may work out perfect as far as my scheduling goes. I'll try to call you in the next couple weeks.

    If any of you guys are still on the fence....a short story

    My best friend and his dad are Chevrolet fanatics. They were talking about my truck one day. Friend's dad: "Why didn't he buy a Chevrolet?" Friend: "When Chevrolet starts making a truck that looks that good, he might buy one."

    Speakers bout to bite the dust!!

    I think that's correct, but I believe you do have to trim out the factory tweeter openings ever so slightly.

    sway bar delete opinions thread

    No prob, ktm. I didn't mean to sound short with that. I was in a hurry at the time and had to get out of the house.

    Search for a thread titled "your raptor and it's alignment". Good information in that thread.

    Better sound through Bluetooth and Line-in than USB drive?

    This is exactly what I have experienced as well. Particularly with the Sirius. It sounds like someone is firmly pressing a pillow over the speakers.

    Will these speakers fit?

    Hey Noah. If you're going to be anywhere within reasonable driving distance, I would love to take advantage of the opportunity. I'd be foolish not to. A lot depends on the timing though. Let me know either via pm or a post somewhere when/where you're going to be and I can let you know.

    Will these speakers fit?

    I think he has some package deals posted on here somewhere. I seem to remember a Level 1, 2, and 3 type thing he had going on. It's been a while though. I was planning on ordering from him if I can ever find a shop on the east coast I trust to do the work.

    Slow filling gas

    ROFL. What he said. Disregarding any sexual innuendo, insert the nozzle completely then back it out about a half-inch. You're simply aligning the nozzle to the angle of the filler neck.

    Rigid lights in the stock rear bumper

    I think the guys who have used the diffused beam pattern or lens have had better luck with the lights not washing out the image from the rear camera.

    MFT 3.6 Not indexing all music on USB thumb drive

    I had the same thing. Apparently, Apple does some encoding on certain media. The best assumption I've been able to come up with is that copies of cd's that friends have given me are somehow being tagged as protected when the get copied over to the USB drive. I ended up just using an old iPod...

    NEW Light Option, you Guys need to check this option out!

    ^Correct. My best friend works at that facility in the accounting department, so I can speak to the accuracy of that.

    Ordering from the Nex, I know what packages I want, but not sure on the cab size....

    Simple fact is...it's a fantastic truck. Super Crew or Super Cab, I think it's impossible to be disappointed with either one.

    Ordering from the Nex, I know what packages I want, but not sure on the cab size....

    x2. You'll be much happier with Line-X. Maybe even spring for the premium. It has a glossier finish and supposedly resist fading from UV much better. (I'll let you in a few years if that's true.)

    Ordering from the Nex, I know what packages I want, but not sure on the cab size....

    The super cab has a slightly better fuel economy rating...2 mpg, if I remember correctly. No idea what that translates to in real world driving though. The difference in towing capacity, however, is quite significant. The super cab will tow our boat, but if I were going to pull a car hauler or...

    Upgraded SVT optional Beadlock wheels

    Nope. Unfortunately it is against DOT regulations to run the beadlocks on public highways.

    How noisy is your cabin interior

    The factory Fox shocks are known to make a 'clicking' sound when they're really working. I believe this is mentioned in the Raptor supplement to the owners manual. In regards to the op, I think the issue with the rattling is a legitimate complaint. If it isn't loose items in the cab moving...

    Raptor shocks on f150

    There is a thread somewhere on this forum that has a very good technical explanation of exactly what Off-Road Mode does and the impact it has on off-road driving. It details the impact on the torque curve, shift points, etc. I found it to be extremely informative when I was researching the...

    Concealed Carry console mount

    The right to open carry is governed by the state. Some states you can, some you can't. Blanket statements do not apply, since even in states where open carry is allowed, there are regulations specifying where you may or may not carry, whether open or concealed.
