It just needs a good wash, then it’ll look like mine. An incorrect installed supercharger will let you know right away. Also, the engine will either accept or reject a supercharger early on. After installing and maintaining my own supercharger, my suggestion is to monitor the reservoir and maybe...

Engine work? I put in a supercharger myself In my challenger. It’s been four years and running great! Oil pump? Supercharger don’t kill engines. That’s a myth. Worst case scenario, it shortens the life of an engine. We’re talking wayyyyy down the road. Maybe it goes 200,000 miles instead of...

In my experience, progressive shocks that are intended for hard impacts (jumping, etc.) are stiffer at the beginning of the travel to better absorb the initial impact, it then smooths out. This translates to a stiffer ride on flat surfaces and rougher roads. I know what you mean though. My $2500...

Is that the tailgate?

I went back to hear it. It sounds like a heat shield is loose. Never mind, that sounds bad. I would take it to a mechanic. Or, try looking at the belts. I replaced an idler on my SC challenger. I thought it was a bad SC but it was a simple fix. Bearings can go bad pretty easily when a seal is...

Mine is loud at start up. Goes away in about 3 Mississippis.

And, it’s not the cam phaser?

Geez, maybe have your coffee before coming on here. My kids know not to ask me for anything before my second cup

Coming from a supercharged hemi, I like the turbo eco. I’m holding out for a hybrid.

Every time you ship a human being out, you lose a little bit of humanity. Eventually, you’ll stop seeing a group of people as less then human. It reminds me a guy who got into his truck with a giant wrap on its side that said “**** you’re feelings.” A minute later, his wife and teenage daughter...

That’s right instead, just ship the homeless and migrant workers to other states like they’re not human beings.

Don’t listen to them. Take your California, hard-earned money to other states and capitalize on there lower prices. It makes sense to shop where the locals can only afford lower prices. Plus, we’re helping there economy. Just being a good neighbor :)

I believe 500hp but you have to be under boost to feel the power because the V8 puts out less HP than the eco boost and the transmission is super outdated. It’s not worth it. I’ve owned aftermarket SCs and I’m super impressed with the eco boost in the raptor. It’s a beast.

You can convert a used f150 with a v8 into a raptor pretty easily. Most work can be done by you. You can do the supercharger, fit the fenders and live shocks, control arms etc., by your self. You’ll just have to pay for painting or wrap. I would pay an extra 8 grand for mid travel. A perfect...

Yep. Used f150s with low mileage, I’m not a fan of engine swaps either. They are super expensive to have done, because of wire harnesses, having to remove all of the interior, panels and not to mention transmission. You basically need to strip a donor truck. Also, depending on your state...

Find a really nice used f150 with a v8. Add mid travel, fenders and supercharger. Then, let it rip!

Haha, he’s probably the most stable guy on here. I dunno ‍

I’m a psychotherapist and I drive mine to the office and the homes of patients. I often fantasize about off roading, MTB and the beach. I then make it happen

It’s worth the $20k upgrade only if you do serious off road driving. Otherwise, it’s a luxury to upgrade. Completely, a personal choice. Do it if you have the money to spend.

I went through that exact same process. Started looking at the gen ones, 17-18 and 19+. I considered price, mileage and type of shocks. I ended up buying a 19, super cab with 40k miles for 59. I think it’s the most ready out of the box for being used and under warranty.

I could see that in that scenario. I don’t think that would apply to an off road truck. I would buy a truck at asking price with a pre runner bumper even though it’s been chopped.

Honestly, if you’re paint is all jacked up and if you’ve never buffed out swirls or scratches, then hire someone with experience. If your truck’s paint is pretty good, clay bar, buff, remove the wax, apply ceramic coat, smile at your accomplishment.

I sold my 2015 challenger this year. It too had the front wrapped. After 7 years, it did not have one rock chip or scratch. I could have lasted another 7 years, easily.

The question was between full or partial. It’s definitely not worth the money for a full ppf. Especially, since you could paint it for less. I off road mine and it’s perfect. I had the front end, front fenders, mirrors and partial hood done with premium clear ppf for $800. That along with mud...
