My Raptor did this. I think it was about day 5. I have 20K miles on it now and I can still smell it a little when I haven't driven it in a while but it goes away quickly.
I am posting and haven't read all the replies... I have a Raptor and two large bikes:
1. 61' Cannondale Synapse Carbon Road Bike
2. Cannondale Scalpel Ocho Lefty MTN Bike
I can technically lay them both in the back without removing tires but obviously that's not recommended.
Given the tire on...
Not surprised at the overheating and I was worried that the new transmission would have similar issues. They have to cut the frame to move everything back far enough to get all that in and balanced but surprised they didn't just keep cutting and put a bigger radiator and pump ? I guess if it...
Just saw this. Good luck. I was considering putting a Hellcat engine into my Gladiator (est $120K) when the Raptor arrive so I didn't do it. The company I was going to hire had all the electronics worked out (nowhere near a Bronco's complexity). It was getting the balance that was the most...
I traded a Rubicon Gladiator. I loved my Jeep but wanted a lot more power and a better ride on the highway. Those were my two big issues for getting the Raptor. I had put bigger wheels on the Jeep and it felt like it robbed me of 30 HP. I do miss the bed in the truck ... So I may just go...
FYI, I have a 2023 Braptor. The up-hold-down-hold (repeat 3 times) fix worked for me. I do not know if it matters but I used the back seat switch and I did it with the door open.
Good luck all
I have yet to find a local car wash capable of washing my Raptor, the wheels don't fit. I wash it once a month, about the same frequency as my showers. Why wife would beat me for saying that :)
I have a stiff nylon brush on a long handle. It's the only thing I have found that works and only after a presoak with dawn dish soap. Definitely a PITA.
Dang, talk about a tutorial !! Much appreciated.
I read last year where someone said Amour All wipes trashed his dash so ever since I have been paranoid as to what to use given how much of my outside is rubber / composite. Heading to AutoZone to get some product :) Thanks again.
I have a 2023 Raptor, black, hard top. I absolutely love it and, knock on rocks, have had 0 issues. I occasionally take it off road but mostly in fields, not rock crawling. I wish I would have had it ceramic coated when I first got it. I am looking for your experiences with wax / ceramic...
All of the above... The roads in most cities could not handle the width, most garages could not handle the height, people in the rural areas are poor so no one could afford one, most people driving the tiny BYDs would freak with that behind them, and yes often the driving there, although...
AND if it's not totalled, you still need to sue for the reduction in resale value. 100% when you trade that in, they will reduce the value by 50% or more no matter who fixed it. Get that money now because you're going to take the hot (no pun intended) later.
Ok, I will ask... What is ProCal Rev Matching ? I have a 2023 Raptor. I thought rev matching was when I pull up to a light beside a Rubicon and I step on the gas a little to listen to that beautiful howl of my engine.
