Your truck looks great and nice high resolution images. Looks like an awesome build. To make rear differential maintenance easier you might want to swap out the cover to the Ford performance one. It's an easy upgrade. (You can see it In my thumbnail pic). BTW - how do you like the tool boxes...

It's an odd date range. Ford's Cleveland plant builds almost all of the MPC 2.3L EB's for NA, with some early Mustang version having some engines produced in Valencia, Spain. Ford produces ~250k MPC 2.3L EB engines annually from Cleveland. The diagram shows the relationship between: camshaft...

If your going to drive your Ranger Raptor like a track truck....

I purchased the 2025 version for my truck. I also purchased a Ford owners manual cover off of ebay. Mine fits in my trucks gove box. One other thing I bought was a maintenance log book that I keep in the gove box: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWLPX5ZH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

I agree, to get comfortable you should get under the truck and look around. Personally, I don't find the plug extends to where I think it would be an issue. Also, the cap that screws on to the end of the plug is billet aluminum with a gasket - I did have the same thought as you, so I opened up...

One of if not the best value in a truck today. I have a 2025 Lariat and my son just got a 2025 STX. Here is what we did to his STX in the first two weeks: Auto Stop/Start Disable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D33YLCDY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Key Covers...

I have a 2025 Lariat with the 2.7l - oil changes are very easy. I installed a Ronin drain plug but then changed it to the UPR drain plug that has a ball valve. I find that you can really control the oil flow very well with the valve handle also it's not two pieces like the Ronin, so you don't...

I have 2021 4Runner with TRD Pro skid plate... your not kidding about it a PITA to take off. Always causes me to have noodle arms when reinstalling.

I always change the oil around the first 500 miles then at ~2,500 miles and 5,000 miles. Settling in at 5k miles OCI's. I always send out oil samples to Blackstone - 100% you can see the reduction in wear metals come down and normalize. I also change the differential gear oil and transfer case...

I use a Harbor Freight Daytona 3 Ton Low-Profile Superduty Floor Jack. Maximum lift height is 23-1/8 in.

How can a software "fix" - fix a pinched wire?

Thanks for posting, this is very cool for a lifted truck as it will help with less drive shaft ubolt stress/wear because it creates a "softer" slope angle from the transmission to the rear diff.

I installed the 4D Tech Auto Start Stop Eliminator in my 2025 Lariat and in my son's 2025 STX. 100% worth the money. I will say on my Lariat disconnecting the cable from the module was easy on my son's STX it was a pain - I had the hardest time disconnecting the connector on the wiring harness.

I believe, auto parts from Australia currently have a 25% tariff.
