Driving in eco makes your truck shift a lot smoother in town.

Of course this forum isn't just for Ranger Raptors, but the 2024 Raptor doesn't have a dedicated ECO mode, wish it did. Just sayin...

I think i read that you can enable eco mode in the raptors with forscan.

Redline strut question...experiencing an 'hood flex' particularly when closing while overcoming the shocks resistance?

Good question... just went out and checked, hard to actually tell, but any flex noticed was negligible.

I saw the same thing because I've been using "2024" as my model year on Amazon because it's so new a lot of part say the don't fit. When I change it to "2025" is said it fit, so go figure. I've seen a couple of other posts here with '24's that had them installed, hopefully they'll weigh in on this one for us.

Like @sweeks888 posted, I didn't notice any flex, it seems pretty solid to me, but it does spring up pretty quickly and a little bit higher than the hood prop, takes a little push to close and latch it.

Part Number on Amazon matches the one on the manufacture’s website shows it fits plus free shipping from Amazon, not so much on manufacture’ site

I guarantee you can activate it with forscan. If you were close, i would meet you and do it for you

I agree completely. Opens higher so being short I have to start to close from the side. It does open pretty quickly. Works very well.
Very little flex, just a bit unnerving the first time you close the hood.
Very well made product, very simple to install.

Check see that Autohold is not enabled. It allows you to take your foot off the brake pedal at stop lights. Great while driving, sucks trying to park in a garage. I had the same issue as you and corrected it by turning of feature.

Thanks i try that but autohold normally once u go it turns off ,,, this is more like tyres dont want to roll when turned in.

Sounds like you're in 4H which would explain the 10MPG US as well. I'm getting double that driving in 2H.
