Just a post with some random thoughts I was having, and some back porch buddy discussion, since there's not a lot of new posts this week for gen 1's...
To keep up with consumer demand for trucks having more features and tech, becoming basically luxury trucks or family haulers that can go off...
Today, I was out picking up my truck after getting the transmission serviced, waiting for my wife to get out of the damn dollar tree, and I was thinking about how my nice new spray in liner was going to eventually fade, so I decided to look at some tri-fold covers.
I was sticker shocked to...
Serious question… does anyone have anything fabbed up that they would be willing to loan with a deposit? I pay shipping of course!
Or… capable of fabbing up something I can purchase?!
Need to see if my rack slack can be adjusted before I go out and buy a new rack, tie rod ends and fluid that...
Generic question… how much would YOU charge, or be willing to pay, someone to swap out an entire rear axle assembly on a truck. Nothing fancy, just old out and junkyard unit installed.
Edit: swap brakes back over to used assembly.
Neighbors son lost all his diff fluid and burned up his rear...
I was playing around on tasca today, debating some interior trim purchases, and I saw this Rear Trim Panel:
It said 2013-2014 raptor. However... I don't have those "lights" at the bottom of my rear panel? Are those lights?!
My 2013 has THIS panel, without those light looking ports:
But...
Shopping for some carbon fiber overlays for my console and dash to hide a few imperfections, I keep noticing a large price differential for what appears to be a similar product. Eastern Shore Retro's has a console kit for around 85, and then ebay has 2 kits.. one is around 100 and the other is...
I have a noise in my steering column. It sounds like it is right behind the steering wheel. I lubed up the firewall pass-through area and no dice. It’s not suspension or anything outside of the cab, it’s right behind the steering wheel.
Anyone ever had a bad clock spring make a squeak noise?
The driver door switch rattle was driving me crazy. You can literally shake the switch inside the housing trim. So, I grabbed some expanding foam from an old pistol case, cut it into slivers of varying sizes for testing, and used a small flat blade to jam it down into these gaps (both sides)...
My headlights are crapping the bucket. My passenger side sometimes sticks on high beam or low beam, and the housings look like ass.
I looked at options, and I think I am going to go with the Morimoto XB LED lights.
However, I can't decide 2 things:
XB or HB Hybrid
White or Yellow DRL...
Hey guys, on my way to get my son from school, I noticed my air wasn't blowing that hard. I figured out that even with the recirculation button on, the sound/pitch of my air didn't change. There was no noticeable difference between off and on.
If i turned truck off, and just used accessory...
I was trolling AutoTrader to get an idea of the current market, and I ran across a 2011 raptor that appears to not have fox shocks, or the upfitter switches...
Was this a thing in 2011? I thought all raptors had those two items... it did look like a base model truck, however... and I love the...
Husky Liner Rear Seat Storage
Found this on ebay. Amazon was 111 shipped, this one cost me 87 shipped... more than $20 off if someone was looking for some under-seat storage.
Just thought I would drop the link...
A buddy of mine got a deal on a couple of programmers and offered to sell me one for a good price. I told him if he came over tonight and we hooked it up and everything loaded well, I would purchase it. So, he did, and we installed the 93 canned tune on the SCT Livewire TS+.
I only had one...
Took out the plastic drop in liner what was on my truck when I bought it, prepping to get a spray in, and I saw these 3 holes on each side. Two look like grommets, and 1 is threaded. What went here?!
Hey Guys,
I have a 2013 SCREW
So I attempted to order:
BL3Z-4841-F
From Tasca, which I found is the part number for a 2013 SCREW slip yoke for the driveshaft from a clunk thread on this forum. If I crawl under my truck, I can wobble the driveshaft up and down at the slip yoke (not the...
I sent a message into Raptor Retrofit about refreshing my OEM headlights. They look like snow globes and the light output is awful... This is probably the biggest eyesore on my truck and I want to get it remedied ASAP!
What colors and mods did you guys go with? Any pics?
My truck is white...
Hey guys, I am having a hard time finding out this information, pictures are not helping.
I am replacing the emblems on my truck, as age has removed some of the "clear coat" and black paint inside the emblems themselves.
I found the 6.2 and raptor emblems that are OEM, but I am having trouble...
Today, I got my S&B CAI kit in the mail. I had been wanting to replace the INJEN CAI that came with my truck from the previous owner. It looked like crap, the connectors were dry rotted, it just looked like a old setup that I couldn't even find on the net anymore.
I was going to give my...
2013 raptor:
A few nights ago, when we were working on the spark plugs, apparently we snapped the stock IWE vacuum line on the passengers side as we were working through the wheel well. I didn't know a whole lot about how the IWE system worked, so I did some research and learned myself some...
New member and new Raptor owner here from the East Texas area. I have owned just about every brand of vehicle there is, but I had never owned a ford truck before. Decided that I loved the way the Gen1 Raptor looked, and finally found one within the price range that I wanted for a second...
