    Front differential cold weather shudder

    It's -30C here and this is more evident then ever before. I can feel what I think is the front diff torsen shuddering badly on slow tight turns and even feels like traction control kicking in just driving straight. Would this be like caused by poor fluid possibly? It binds up pretty badly in...

    Undercarriage treatment

    Found this stuff, looks like it really works and very good price. These guys used it on a lightning frame. Might have to try. https://www.kbs-coatings.com/frame-coater-kit.html

    Brake caliper shortage

    Anybody else finding this? I checked a month ago for front calipers on 2012, none locally. Today none locally and only 1 in canada? Have to order from u.s. which also has a shortage they say. Wow. With how many f150s running the same calipers, what is everyone doing for replacement?

    GEN 1 Both front calipers need replacing

    Wheel just won't spin freely. Doesn't drag real badly but, in neutral, started, spins about 1/4 rotation. Put a clamp on pads to pull in and spins. Checked bleeder and barely dribbles out so not line pressure problem. Guessing the piston just won't retract enough. Everything is clean. Slide pins...

    Anybody use Pneumatic dispenser/extractors?

    Planning on doing the lead frame replacement and researching everything. Has anyone used this and is there any concern with electric driven air compressor air contaminating the fluid? Don't want to take any chances.

    GEN 1 Transmission shifting glitch

    I couldn't find anything on this but remember this was a tsb at one time and can't find the orginal thread. Tonight on acceleration it shifted from 5th to 6th, glitched half way and dropped into 3rd locking the truck up a bit. After that it wouldn't get out of 3rd. I pulled over shut truck off...

    6.2 AFE Catback Rebel Series Lightning Style

    I searched and could only find a bit on mach force xp but not the rebel series lightning style. Anybody running this setup? Also if any vendors selling these. Price isn't too crazy and love the dual side exit running board. Guessing drone is most likely, but I'm probably use to it from my lightning.

    Home link break in risk

    Is home link a problem when it comes to garage break ins? Why did ford wire constant power instead of ignition? Would solve alot of problems. Neighbor just had their garage broken into using door opener in truck.

    Replaced vent control blend door and no help

    I've read countless posts on this but can't seem to find the solution. I've replaced the lower driverside blend door near the accelerator pedal, since my controls were stuck on panel. Disconnected battery and fuse 46, replaced, reconnected and let it calibrate. The recalibrate seems odd but...

    K&N failed test

    I had my suspicion after finding particles downstream on sensors but thought it may be coincidence. This is big if true. I'm sure alot of desert users here would have huge data on this.

    GEN 1 Coil spring failed

    From what I can tell the coil isn't rusted anywhere around just where it sheared. How does this happen? This truck has seen extremely light duty.

    Bed box accessory mounts

    Hey guys, not sure what they would be called but I've seen some guys with the high lift jacks and recovery ramps mounted inside of the bed and was wondering if somebody has a source for those.

    GEN 1 Gen1 vs competition V.ride

    Has the gen1 ever been tested as for some kind measurement for how much the road gets absorbed? Also comparably against the gen2 and competition. Was always curious how it compares. Not seat of the pants but measured.

    Steam at stop light

    Anyone get a bit of steam every once in awhile? It's winter here and noticed a few times. Can' t really see anything. Looks like the small front rad could be a bit damp. Don't want to have a blow out.

    Inner tie-rod ends @ 60k miles

    Sound right? Trucks been pretty much babied. Only 2 light duty off-road excursions. Just wondering if I should be watching out for something for cause. Can't see ford baja raptor team stopping every 20 minutes to replace the rod ends. Everything else has been awesome.

    What do you do to treat your raptor

    As in something not done often as routine. Guess about all I do is give it a good polish/wax. I imagine the biggest benefit would be to clean/oil joints, as long as you use the right stuff, but most are non-serviceable so not much to do there.

    Anybody have problems purchase stock tires?

    Call ford and they have no idea which tire goes on the raptor. 2 different sku numbers. 129-08806 133-58424 That's something I wouldn't know off the top of my head. Anybody know the difference? ---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ---------- Looks...

    Console leds

    I imagine someone already has some ultimate setup for the console but finally got an led strip in there. Not the best switch for it but it works. Wish the ends were a little more hidden. Sides are tucked right under.

    Shock jacket

    Not sure if this has ever been produced or not but has anyone made some kind of thermal jacket for shocks? I've noticed in the winter time just how much more reactive my shocks are warmed up in the garage then sitting outside in -30c temperatures. Quite a drastic difference actually. I'm not...

    Multimatic DSSV

    With the new colorado coming out with the first ever DSSV in a pickup, and installed in both the GT350 and new GT, will they bring out something for the next gen raptor? How much more advanced would they be over the fox shocks?

    Running board coating repair

    So I'm still not seeing anybody else with this problem and I can't get any warranty coverage for repairing this. Cost is quite a bit more then I though for repair. Looks like I could get Line-X to repair the damage section and coat the underside to prevent anymore lifting, but I'm guessing you...
