    rear bump stop bolt thread size?

    Well, if you figure it out, let me know. I just did the ICON RXTs and the bolts that came with the kit are a small diameter and don't fit the threads. Also no mention of them in the ICON instructions.

    TSB 13-6-8 Transmission

    Yeah, should have said the TSB extended warranty as I don't have any kind of extended warranty. Part was $137, so I figure add in 4qts of trans fluid for about $200 in parts. Figure billable 2-3hrs labor so pretty close. I'll try to get a better deal when I go in on Thursday.

    TSB 13-6-8 Transmission

    Has anyone had a 2013 that Ford covered the Lead frame under warranty? My May 2013 SCREW with 34k displayed the wrench, lost the speedo, dashed lines and air bag light stayed on, but was fine on restart. Used a code reader and got no stored codes. I have an appointment next Thursday for the...

    GEN 1 Truck won't start

    Replaced the battery on my 13 SCREW in November 16. Been going strong ever since. Best AGM battery out there, but you are going to pay for it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00249GW9S/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

    Raptor does not hold up to Rain Storm

    Well, thought I would follow up. Still had a leak after replacing the 3rd brake light assembly, then using RTV on the gasket, then replaced the rear window seal. Pulled the headliner and discovered water forward on the headliner, about mid rear door. Pulled the sunroof drain tube and both...

    Raptor does not hold up to Rain Storm

    I did the rear window seal today. Called local Ford dealer who said the seal only came with the window and could not be purchased separately. Went to local safelite shop and guy gave me the seal for free. Cool dude. Getting the window out was not that hard. Lower the rear seat backs, two...

    Raptor does not hold up to Rain Storm

    I'm going to buy the rubber butyl tape from Ford and replace it @ around $30. Seems like it's not a complete pain in the butt on the '13. Now it just needs to stop raining for a minute...

    Raptor does not hold up to Rain Storm

    Interesting. I had a little water and wet headliner on my 13 SCREW about a month ago. Replaced the 3rd brake light, all was good. After the last week of rain, I noticed the rear bench seat on the drivers side was completely wet. When I folded the seat down, the back panel was completely wet...

    Recommendations for aux lighting for Desert/Camping

    These kind of caught my eye, especially with the Military discount of 20%. Seems like a good setup for around $1600. Thoughts? KC HiLiTES | Gravity LED Pro6 10-14 Ford F-150/Raptor 8-light Combo LED Light Bar

    Hello all, I've recently moved to southern CA, just north of Barstow. I'm looking at lighting options to cover venturing out into some of the more remote locations and taking the road less traveled. I will also be upgrading stand alone nav and communications. Top end of budget for...

    Rear Diff lock won't disengage

    Just had this happen to me. Best way I can describe this is that if you look at the pictures above, the two yellow spots are dielectric grease on the end of the contacts. You can see the corresponding contact points in the housing on the right side of the picture. Under normal circumstances...

    Temporary/permanent payload increase options

    Found this thread while researching the Firestone bags: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f9/firestone-ride-rite-airbags-raptor-28607/ As this is a bolt on kit, it should be easy to put on/take off. I would not want to run it all the time, but I think it will handle the rare situations where I...

    Temporary/permanent payload increase options

    Looking at payload, not towing capacity, thought the above are definitely areas to consider. My understanding is that the limiting factor for payload is the rear springs. Tires are stock, D load rated BFGs so they are adequate for another 1K lbs. Not sure about the difference in brakes...

    Temporary/permanent payload increase options

    It looks like the SVC bump stop kit is similar to the RPG kit - $1500 for the base kit and $800 for the towing extended bump stops which you only use when running a heavy load. I did come across firestone airbags which might be a workable option. Firestone 2565 - 2009-2014 Ford F150 Raptor...
