I am in the exact same boat, but with my 2014 Gen 1. Shocks are wearing, truck is near paid off (bought in 2017), and at nearly 80k miles. Have a dealer willing to do MSRP on a 37 edition...but who knows when it would show up thats the concern I have. You get a decent trade value now, but...

My GT350 has an exhaust rattle with its active exhaust if the temperature is below 50 degrees. Goes away if I open the valves or the exhaust heats up. My wife's ecoboost explorer also have a slight rattle upon startup. Goes away pretty quickly. Random find though, her car had another...

Make sure they actually have all of that in stock before you're confident the work will be done. I've heard backorders on the shocks several times.

I have a Mattel 1:24 scale raptor, but my daughter loved it so much, she abuses it in the sandbox. At least its doing raptor like things.

Most of the automatic ones around me will not fit it. Furthermore, with the high pressure water, i'm concerned if it will damage the matte vinyl on the truck. Best to do the manual ones or wash it at home.

I had the same problem. Everything worked great, except for the fact the truck never saw the trailer as connected

As was mentioned above, there is room to negoitate the ESP. Don't think for a second that that is the fixed cost. Personally, I plan to extend my ESP when it expires. Truck just puked a second heater core after having it replaced just last year. I find a lot of relief in going "meh...

This might be the most whipped message I've ever seen lol Have a backbone...

That could quite possibly be the ugliest grille I've ever seen. Christ thats painful.

Is anyone aware of a Raptor Reputable Performance shop near Western PA? If there isn't one near by, whats the closest? Strongly debating supercharging the truck and want it done right (which means not by me lol)

Speaking of the rear window trim, does anyone know if you can replace just that trim? Mine was damaged when I bought the truck and have always wanted to replace it if possible.

I can't seem to get clarity on how the silicone is THAT much better than the factory vinyl

Has anyone bought these and tried them? https://forged-offroad.com/product/2010-2014-ford-raptor-silicone-iwe-replacement-forged-offroad/?v=f24485ae434a I've been feeling a dragging of late, and I swear I can hear a light wisp of air but can't locate it. It wouldn't be the first time I've had...

Let me help you....there is a Gen 2 portion of the forum....you will find your assistance there. In Gen 1...we have gas hungry V8s....and our engines stay on :)

The thermostats that they put in these trucks are junk, I've had one expire every 30k miles. I'd buy a new thermostat and gasket, swap them and try again. It sounds like the one you have is stuck open.

I guess if thats your cup of tea. Raptor sees the snow....the cammed camaro sits under a car cover all winter :)

All of your comments apply, if you live in a climate where calcium chloride and brine are NOT used. For those of us in the north, you fight not only mechanical wear and degradation, but also chemical warfare on your frame and body, which can eventually ruin even the best cared for vehicle.

Please elaborate or provide link.

I often think the same thing, but then think, why would I want 2 of the same vehicle. Gotta mix it up. Wear the Gen 1 out, say you had your fun, move on :)

I had the chance this weekend to replace the thermostat. I saw people on other F150 forums say that changing a thermostat was like a 35 minute job. I wanna know how rapidly they are moving, because on my first try to replace this, it took me dang near 3 hours with the first air purge. I found...

I agree, that would be a thermostat at 30k miles and now at nearly 60k miles.

I think thats what I'm going to do. Did you just remove the hose downstream and just lost some coolant onto the the floor? You didn't drain the entire radiator, right?

I gave that a try. Used an extremely steep driveway, sat there with the heat on for 10 minutes....no avail. Still doing the same thing.

Its interesting that you mention that, I had found a few other F150 forums mentioning the same thing. I will see what I can find.

Just noticed this in the last couple days. Its about 30-40F outside. Truck will heat up normally, but when I start coasting anywhere, the temp gauge will start going back toward 'cold'. On typical coasting, it will come back enough to uncover the temp symbol. On a big hill, it will come back...
