Probably fine. But then again, Iâm not wrapping up dead høøkers in carpet rolls and stuffing them into my Mustang seat.
Iâve got a Lincoln with a generous trunk for that. :-P
The struggle is real. When someone launches their beat up, M series peasant-mobile in front of My Rap itâs binary; either she keeps pace or if sheâs too close itâs full on anchor drop. If i see it coming I put my foot on the gas and take up the slack to hold it off unless itâs a sea of red...
I learned how to address this in my â17 Raptor in the DC metro area traffic. When the traffic gets busy i usually take control back but if itâs not that bad and speeds are still good Iâll just keep my feet ready to act.
Resolution:
Move to an area where there is less human overpopulation...
Look for the obvious.
Are you parked next to or near a bmw? My Raptor hates BMWâs with a passion, and she will balk pretty badly if park near one.
How about a prius? You should avoid parking next to them or driving near them.
Is your wife/girlfriend or significant other using your...
so itâs purely road speed then? if youâre at speed and go to neutral, the vibes do not change?
so no collisions, no large pot holes, one salient change - âaftermarketâ(-ish) half shafts, and shortly after a vibration manifests.
This is clueful.
The thing about suspension is, itâs a system, not an assemblage of individual components. Youâve gotten some really sound advice to not cut the springs. If you MUST lower the car, get decent aftermarket springs from a reputable vendor in consideration of the other suspension components you...
AND...
did you first notice the vibes after the half shaft install?
Iâm sure theyâre high quality ... Overall, but theyâre mechanical parts designed and manufactured by imperfect humans. Mistakes happen. It could be workmanship too.
Whenever you have a problem, always look back to the last...
I got bored in medical school, and gave it up early. I was fine with the curriculum, but I just couldnât get past adopting customer service practices worse than a cable tv provider.
Ouch.
Iâve had a few extended warranties, one aftermarket some other mfgrs and Ford ESP. Fordâs ESP has been the best the few times Iâve used it. 1x AC compressor - paid $50 out of pocket, cost almost 900 to repair. one or 2 more-ish.
I had a warranty from Allstate once, and it was...
so much for that idea... since youâre not feeling it in the wheel, Iâd be inclined to look past the front wheel/tire/balance - youâre not seeing the steering wheel oscillate, even slightly, correct?
Any modifications?
Did you nail a curb, pothole or large object?
I was on 410 in San Antonio...
yeah, I guess I didnât pay enough attention to the option list on my â24. My saleslady knew only money and nothing about the car - I mean nothing, not even what buttons did what. So as Iâm winging my way back home 2.5+ hours, that was nice.
Hereâs the thing about dynamometer measurements.
Theyâre hotly contested on internet forums. If youâve done a mod, and produce dyno graphs, there will be
- several users wanting to know what parts you used
- several users wanting to know what model of dyno you used because whatever dyno YOU...
Distance to Empty is calculated based on recent driving. If youâre driving on âisland timeâ with very little stop and go, conservative speeds, youâll get awesome DTE numbers. If youâre caning the car, itâs gonna be less than impressive.
Itâs really difficult to identify where a rattle / interior detected noise is coming from. I had a rattle in my â17 Raptor for a while that really started to get my goat. At one point I got so fed up with it, I took EVERYTHING out of the truck that wasnât there when I bought it, except for the...
The warranty on the Ford Performance vehicles is the same as the others in the Ford line up. I still have some time on my 2017 Raptorâs ESP(warranty), and it will run on 87 octane and up. It will run better on 93, but it will run safely on 87.
