Interesting case. Just engine coolant temps too high? How high exactly? Raptor or non-Raptor? I think the highest I've seen in my Raptor is about 218 °F
Thanks, hadn't seen that.
There's certainly an element of CYA going on there. They have to cover cases of numbskulls covering 80%+ of those areas and hugely interrupting air flow.
Also, they certainly put a lot of accessory mounting points on the bumper. That's somewhat contradictory...
I think that is pure speculation and most likely false. Any data?
Similarly are you not worried about the significant radiator "blockage" from your bull bar?
Yeah, my bar is very high based on BMW M-DCT and Porsche PDK trannies. Those are great and unreal respectively.
The 10R60 (w/Raptor) isn't bad at all. I would say good overall. It just lacks some precision/refinement and has minor bugs.
I know I am comparing dual clutch units to a torque...
Unfortunately, I've experienced many (and other) of the negative behaviors mentioned in the OP in my Braptor. They all are from poor software. Ford could have done much better.
Both. More often manual. I like the primary GOAT modes like Sport for the more aggressive shifting profile, but many features are not available in Sport. My most common one after Sport is Baja but manually switched to 2WD. Then next most common is Rock Cawl with manual config of lockers and sway...
I wouldn't do it for the reasons mentioned prior; non load bearing locations, waterproofing and known MIC top issues.
Some mitigating tips if you proceed. Use butyl tape for waterproofing. It's sticky, gummy, tough and water proofs well. Also consider the JCR hardtop reinforcement kit. It...
There are multiple threads/posts here (including mine) on mounting a radio in the transmission tunnel just in front of and below the shifter. It's tight but feasible and you can do a super clean bulkhead CAT5 cable passthrough.
Thanks for that. Good information. Unfortunately, it seems inconsistent with prior reports from owners here in this thread that both the full side level AND empty side are both extremely inaccurate.
In addition to octane requirements for FP tunes, stock Broncos need 93 just to make factory stated hp. That's stated in Ford docs.
In order to truly accurately blend to any octane I developed the (paid) Android app, Octane and Ethanol Calculator, https://octanecalc.com/ . It uses a totally...
My biggest concern getting rid of stock shocks would be the on road performance hits. Although I can't prove it, I strongly suspect the factory setup adjusts damping for the common conditions such as brake dive and body roll. The stock setup on road is just golden. So much better than my 4Runner...
Given how much my rig is daily driven, I love the convenience, looks and function of my motorized Rock Slide Engineering sliders. Getting in and out of my Raptor is just fantastic.
