    Things You DIscovered About Your Raptor

    Correct, that’s not the point he was making. We all know the passenger side (40%) folds down easily. Most people don’t realize that the DRIVER side (60%) also can fold down, but the latch is difficult to get to. And his procedures refer to how to get the DRIVER side down; he just mistakenly...

    Ride quality changed after new tires but it's not tires

    I got news for ya... BEEN THERE - DONE THAT - SPENT THE FRIGGIN HUNDRED BUCKS FOR RF!! You aren’t gonna like the news: KO2 are notorious for this! Don’t ask me why, and I refused to accept it since I’ve had dozens of sets, and 2 Gens of Raptors! You’ll hear, “well, the Gen2 is 500# lighter...

    2018 Raptor Starup Rattle/Clicking Noise

    Wow. That dealer was a fool. Maybe they should start reading these forums! LOL Zero to worry about! This problem has been around forever. My 2017 does it all the time as well. It quiets down quickly. I’ve come to like it, as part of a “high-performance” truck. You guys should have had an...

    GEN 2 (2017 only) TSB 18-2079 Harsh or Delayed Shift Concerns

    MAN, I was very thankful to find this post about the TSB for the PCM update to help the trans. I've been bugged ever since new by that contstant jerky and bucky acceleration, in addition to the random bang shifting. One dealer, notorious for never seeming like they want any business, told me...

    Bak Revolver X2?

    ?? It's been installed ever since this post. I've removed my other one, not this one, but it's the same thing. Just two elevator knobs, then lift off. You'll need two people unless you wanna jump up in the bed and then muscle it straight up.

    Bak Revolver X2?

    Horrible. Returned it for the Flip instead. It had terrible alignment problems and even gouged my tailgate cap when the shims were removed. The locks are super finicky and without putting MORE shims in, you won’t get them to engage. Tried different combos and even had BAK take a look. We all...

    California emissions

    Yes. You are correct. And so am I! A smog check IS required no matter what, to get registered. But, as I mentioned, if the CA emission is Spec’d and the DEALER DOES HAVE reciprocal, then the the dealer CAN reg it for you. But, with mine from TN, I had to do the scale and smog thing. Sent...

    California emissions

    This makes me mad; not necessarily because the steps have been discussed “ad naseum” here, but because DEALERS are the ones who should KNOW what to do!!! This is the take-home, once again... The dealer MUST spec the CA EMISSIONS option on the order or else the MSO will not show it. Why don’t...

    Thought I had oil leak... Dealer said no.

    No leak. It’s inherently difficult to do without residual, apparently. My Gen 1 did it, and my Gen 2 did as well, after its first OC last month. I just spray the pan with A/P cleaner then hit it with the pressure washer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Bucking and snorting on acceleration

    Don’t fight it guys...it’s just the way it runs for a while. I finally gave up and just rode’er hard to have fun. I’ve got 6k and don’t notice anything but one hard pulling ‘17 Raptor. The motor is way different than the 6.2 V8 for sure. The truck rides a lot different than the Gen1 ‘12 in a...

    How to turn on interior lights

    Hmmm. Well if they DO come on with the sensor covered, that kinda rules out that they’d be dimmed too much. Id still check the dimmer. I’d check the Lighting section settings as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    How to turn on interior lights

    Use the 1st position, “parking lights”. Is that what you need? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    6.2 intermittent valve train ticking noise at start up ??????????????

    NO amount of "ticking" is normal AFTER initial startup. It should go away within seconds. Depending on how sensitive your hearing is, if you hear a "purr" of "clicking", that can be normal and is the INJECTORS, NOT the valve train. This is different that what I am referring to with the very...

    Windshield sunshade

    After 40 years of owning all types of shades from all sources, I won't buy anything else but the ones from Heatshield. Yeah they're $40, but the one I have has lasted since my 2012 Gen 1 and still looks and works like new. It's thick and very well constructed with an excellent fit. It doesn't...

    Let's all keep in mind that, after all, SYNC is developed by...none other than...MICR$OFT. That will explain most problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
