[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1607974, member: 21926"] In his defense re: point #1, lots of people who push vehicles hard have difficulties that normal commuters or motorists do not. Driving vehicles hard stresses parts more, wears them out faster. I kind of liken it to the ubiquitous “Muh 1911 never jams”. uh-huh. That can be a true statement, provided a finite round count you’re making that statement from. And you can trade out 1911 for any Glock, sig, s&w, S/A, colt, Beretta, Mossberg, Ruger, FN, Kimber, Walther, H&K, CZ, Taurus, etc. They all malfunction at some point and some severely, but most never encounter it because they don’t put the number of rounds downrange to elicit a malfunction. Start putting 1-2 thousand rounds a month down range and see how long the no malfunction streak lasts. FWIW, my personal best has been ~12,000 rounds of total use but this one was pulled from regular use after about 9400 rounds and relegated to occasional use. For week in, week out use I’ve had 3 break 7500 rounds without choking, being shot routinely to the tune of at least 200 rounds per week and often more. All of them went longer until a major malfunction, part breakage or part wearing out. I don’t have a problem with someone going out and mimicking Raptor Assault shenanigans or one upping them for that matter. I believe Ford designed the Raptor to take quite a bit more use than R/A takes us through and I believe quite a few of these exploits are certainly not abuse. But, as FTO has pointed out, once you start modifying from stock, the further you take the truck away from what it was tested at, the more responsible you become for part failures, wear and paying for them.
