    Cover for indoor (barn) storage

    About to put the Raptor away for winter. Dropped off at same barn where my boat and Bronco been for few years. Used to be barn for draft horses, now gets my stuff for the off season. Dirt floor and quite a few birds. Old tarp goes over the sunbrella boat cover. I got a pretty lightweight (cheap)...

    Gen 1 IWE replaced

    After putting it off for QUITE a while. Finally replaced my driver's side IWE yesterday. Anytime I think of disconnection a tie rod end and/or ball joint, I worry. BUT, went pretty well (for me). Probably close to an hour start to finish. If I would have left the ball joint in place with the...

    SCARY "almost" no start...

    First time driving my 2011 6.2 further than in and out of the garage this year. Moved it around the driveway as I packed for the gym, Auto Zone, grocery store, hardware...

    Grille Lights

    I keep wondering, so have to ask, if anyone knows... What prompted the three grill lights? What is the reason or origin? Don't think I have ever heard what they are supposed to do, represent, or why. I am sure that I will feel even dumber than usual when someone explains, but gotta ask.

    Gen1 font shock removal

    I am sure this will be an easy one :) Tried searching a little, but wasn't sure. And I am sure that once I get to it, it will be obvious. Can the top nuts be removed from the front shocks on a Gen 1 (2011 Super Crew) and drop them out of the springs?? Getting closer to either replacing or...

    '11 power steering ?

    Well, I have had my '11 for 6-7 months now. A few times when cold starting I have noticed the PS hard at idle when setting. Then... last night I put the truck DEEP in the ditch. I live on a lake and a section of the road is MUCK deep and filled with cat tails. On my way home from putting deposit...

    Running 2019 F-150 17" rims on '11 Raptor???

    The M/Ts on my 2011 Raptor are not any good in the slushy sloppy snow we got here in West Michigan this week. As much as I hate, and didn't plan on, driving in the chloride... I gotta get different tires since I didn't come up with a "winter beater" yet. Seeing a set of Nokian snows same size...

    I would like to go TOTALLY off the board for 2,000 Alex...'07 MXK 3.5 valve train question...??

    SORRY Not a for sale classified Didn't want to post under other categories. I looked at a really nice 2007 Lincoln MKX on my way home from work tonight. Close to home and cheap for what it is, $2000 I need a "winter beater" to keep my Raptor (and Bronco) from getting ate up by chloride covered...

    IWE tips/tricks/diagnosis??

    Feeling suspicious of an IWE on my 2011 Raptor. What I thought was a slight rattle in the front end or even wind/road noise getting past door seal, I now suspect may be being made by an IWE while driving. It is very faint, but I am hoping to take care of it before it becomes worse if it is an...

    license plate mount/bracket?

    Trying to figure out if there is a factory mount for front license plate? Tried most of the common searches.... See few part numbers for other F-150s, but nothing that looks like it would fir Raptor bumper. Looks like 4-6 holes in center of bumper I am guessing are supposed to for it. Appreciate...

    2011 HVAC blend door actuator

    I stepped into an earlier thread, but should have started my own. I obviously was in a far more in depth and more technical thread than I should have interrupted. Appreciated the help, but think I better not derail someone else's discussion. So anyways... My 2011 Raptor with the dual screen...
