[QUOTE="JAndreF321, post: 1607604, member: 40327"] This thread got long in just a day. I definitely bought my Raptor thinking that I could mod the suspension and body without issues. My concern with vehicles has always been engine modifications. Seeing this does make me concerned about the future prospect of going to 37s; hopefully there is a fix before I get there. [USER=25186]@zombiekiller[/USER] made a good point regarding the perspective of some owners with modifying their daily driver, since it is often my perspective. You get to a point in life when you can afford nice things, but you want them even nicer and eventually you extend yourself to the point where if something breaks you can't afford to fix it. Then you tell yourself that it is the manufacturer's fault for not building the vehicle strong enough to make up for the modifications you made. This is silly on its face, however, the "built Ford tough" reputation and social media exploding with people making these simple modifications has led people to convince themselves that the trucks can handle anything and are worth the investment. This is where the fact that modifications aren't covered under warranty gets confusing because people buy the vehicles believing they are unstoppable. The entitlement that people feel with the dealership is another awkward position that I find myself in sometimes...when you work hard and spend $75k on a truck you may have an expectation that the company will do anything to help you. This is, again, silly. Ford is a company like any other and, although it does have a lot of money, it is not at the beckon call of any customer. I'm not sure that the insults and name calling against the youtuber and his family are necessary. They're humans like everyone else and are caught up in both believing "Built Ford Invincible," and having the "I'm a YouTuber/Ford Customer so Ford owes me" mentality. Ford isn't obligated to help them and shouldn't...but it would be cool if someone figured out a solution. Do 801A vehicles have this problem also? Wasn't sure if there was an additional motor causing problems related to the lane keep assist. How does the steering interact with ABS in off-road scenarios?
