[QUOTE="tlrmade, post: 1858354, member: 63284"] Wanted to start off first by saying thank you to everybody that posts on this forum. You guys definitely helped me do my research and know what to look for. Also.....the 2 Raptors Lead Foot and Avalanche ones in Columbia TN....seemed a little rough bc I looked at them and didnt even bother driving them. Lead foot was having a lot of work done to it at the dealer (manifold replacement, passenger side turbo and wastegate looked brand new as well) and the Avalanche sounded like it needs cam phasers on cold start and driver side valve cover was leaking oil. I ended up picking up a 2018 802A Avalanche White with 94k. Was a local trade in from Kentucky. They were asking $49k...got them down to $47k and negotiated $2k more for my trade in so can basically can say I paid $45k with 94k miles. Truck also came with a trifold bed cover and founder a Livernois tuner under backseat. Now for a few questions: -Shocks rebuilt? I cant tell if i need it or not? I havent ridden in many raptors before. Anybody come recommended in the Middle TN area for the work? I also may get some Eibach springs installed at the same time to help level the front out. -I need new sway bar end links. Factory ones still the best option? what are the torque specs on the bolts? -Fog lights/light bar.....I want to do it right and do it once.....I want them to be able to reach out bc I live and drive in the country with a lot of deer....but i dont want it to drastically change the look of the front end. Im thinking ones that go behind grill. Which ones should I do? Also love the look of the yellow ones with the running lights....? -Exhaust Tips.....whats the best way to clean these? Or should i just clean, sand and spray them black? -With Apple Car Play on.....is there any way to see the outside temperature on any gauges? -Maintenance....I know what the factory says but what should I do and at what mileages? Should i trust my local shop to do the work or should I just let the local dealer perform the work? Mainly the transmission fluid and diff fluids is what im curious about. I am planning on doing one of the ESPs after beggining of year. -Is there any way to reset the auto wipers? Then seem like they’re doing a little too much work? Thanks again and im sure I will have more questions in the future! [/QUOTE]
