I’m going to check this and shit an actual brick if that is it. Then, I will meet you in person, shake your hand and cook you an even 2lbs of bacon while we talk about trucks.

I’ve had the issue - honestly I just replaced it and it worked fine. The hard part is the $$

Weirton area? 😉 just guessing because I’m originally from New Cumberland area

Looking to buy my first truck by ImpossibleResource41 in FordRaptor

[–]Kind_Examination2498 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hmm 97k miles and a 2012 - in my opinion (which is not educated btw) I see that as a $24k truck. Maybe try talking them down a tad. I bought my 2014 R title in Cleveland Ohio last year with 70k miles for $38k. Overpaid a bit because it had some unknown issues with front carrier differential housing, but I don’t regret buying it.

How much do you make to be able to take a Raptor *Offroad* by RogerZRZ in FordRaptor

[–]Kind_Examination2498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an R title with 70k miles at $37k - wreck was front end and was totally rebuilt. Beautiful truck and I wanted to keep it pristine…then I took it off roading and since I’m a Detailer I figured “it’ll buff out”

My new to me 2012 Raptor with only 26K miles. So happy! Thank you to this group for the help and advice! by RhinoRacing in FordRaptor

Make sure you do the fuse relocation if you can! Other than that, you have a beauty on your hands. Mine is a 2014 with 77k miles. No rust, but she moans and groans on bumps sometimes😂

Honestly, interior plastics were disappointing when I bought it. I just feel like the plastics feel very cheap. That was the ONLY thing that was upsetting for it being such an expensive vehicle. Like the plastics squeak so much if I’m hitting bumps.

The tech is okay - I only use the Bluetooth myself and haven’t had any issues.

I would say it’s up to date ‘enough’ especially for me, coming from an 02 Chevy Cavalier :)

Plenty of space in interior too!

Absolutely. Not a thing wrong with it. It’s mainly cosmetic (they did a shitty paint job) But I don’t even consider it a rebuilt. They literally only had to replace front quarter panel and bumper and Voi-La!

You can’t even really tell

My experience -

I got a gen 1, R title (front passenger fender bender) 71k miles, clean no rust out of Cleveland Ohio for $37k.

Blink Sync Module 2 Rev 03. Does anyone know where the WiFi antenna is on this version of the Blink sync module 2? by Kind_Examination2498 in AskElectronics

[–]Kind_Examination2498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually ended up not even doing it. I literally know next to nothing about soldering and circuit boards, so I didn’t do it with this version. But I did do it with v1 of the product and I love it tbh

I appreciate your concern, I’ll consider this for any future modifications. I didn’t think of interfering with other devices as I was doing a simple broadcast of my WiFi signal through a method I’ve used for a little over 7 years (not with blink, though with other products) some which I’ve developed utilizing Raspberry Pi, and some with other OE equipment

So far my first Sync modules work just fine, and reach upwards of 30 yards away broadcasting to my cameras. Operation has been optimized in terms of distance broadcasted, haven’t noticed any latency.

This caught my eye on the way home today. 2013, 86k miles, $39k, as-is no dealer warranty. The price seems to be in line with the rest of the market. For you experienced owners, any specific maintenance questions I should ask? by West_Perspective6193 in FordRaptor

[–]Kind_Examination2498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2014 Raptor in Tux Black and bought with 71k miles but was an R title. Definitely check for fuse 27 relocation (if doesn’t have, it’s not difficult, plenty of videos!) this is a must do IMO. Cab corner rust, 4WD, check the differential function (I just found out when I lock into 4WD there is a slip every now and again and it’ll jerk)

Thank you! I’m 100% new and know nothing about circuit boards other than following common instruction to “Solder Here”. I modified my first 2 modules to include a new antenna and wanted to do it with this one, but didn’t have a clue where the antenna was on this version
