this is super helpful. thank you.

@ChristianGrest Месяц назад

Glad it helps!

@gunnwild1 Год назад

Fancy!. I suppose on a nice truck like yours getting the better product is kind of a no brainer

@ChristianGrest Год назад

I think there was a $75-$100 difference in price between the Ford Performance one and the Spicer one when I looked. Not substantial, but still a decent savings.

@j_c_hunt Год назад

I’m all for firearms content, but this is the kinda stuff the masses needs to see also. 👌🏻

@ChristianGrest Год назад

Thanks! I have some other hobbies I like to sprinkle in from time to time. Been putting this off for a while and I didn’t see any videos on the 21+ Raptors, so I figured I’d share.

@Michael-rl5ki 5 месяцев назад

Awesome video and info, thanks! Keep up the great work and keeping us up to date on new Raptor stuff

@ChristianGrest 5 месяцев назад

Appreciate the compliment! I’m due for some more Raptor videos, no doubt.

Great video! Thank you for sharing this clear and detailed information. Just curious any leaks or all good since?

@ChristianGrest 2 месяца назад

I did end up going back and re torquing the gasket as the factory specs were higher than what I mentioned in the video. So half torque all bolt to half the spec of 33 Ft. Lbs then then torque them again to the final value. No leaks! That gasket truly makes a world of difference with leaks when compared to the factory gasket. I’ve had the factory ones leak many times.

Great job man!! I'll be doing one soon after this video!! Thx!!

@ChristianGrest 11 месяцев назад

Appreciate it! It’s definitely a must do in my opinion.

@Michigan4Conservative Год назад

Well, you got me with the "21+", at first glance, It looked like an AGE RESTRICTION.😅

@ChristianGrest Год назад

🤣🤣🤣 didn’t even think about that.

@ThecrazyScotsman Год назад

Just an upgrade or needed maintenance ? just curious. Funny how many factory parts suck

@ChristianGrest Год назад

Kinda both. I like to change my diff fluid between 30-40k. The OEM cover kinda sucks, mainly because it doesn’t have a drain plug. The upgraded cover will help me next time.

@ThecrazyScotsman Год назад

@ChristianGrest ah ok I may have to look into this then I just hit 73k I always keep up on my oil changes etc but never done one of these

@ChristianGrest Год назад

@@ThecrazyScotsman I tow a lot and do some off-roading. On a regular truck, probably not necessary until 50K or so. What I've noticed with newer vehicles is that they want you to put off maintenance for longer and longer periods.... you can probably guess why this is.

@ThecrazyScotsman Год назад

@ChristianGrest copy that and yes I understand 100%

@valken7777777 8 месяцев назад

For the price of new Ford these covers should be factory installed not same cheap covers. For the price of the FP cover why is the gasket n bolts crap? The Spicer cover which is exactly same is 100 less. Ford Performance-What a f rip off!

@ChristianGrest 8 месяцев назад

I hear ya! The Spicer cover is the better value.

@Michigan4Conservative Год назад

Gear lube in a bag !?!? Where was that 30 years ago?? 😅

@ChristianGrest Год назад

Yea tell me about it. Way easier

@Michigan4Conservative Год назад

@@ChristianGrest you haven't lived unless you have tried to wedge a bottle of gear lube between the body and differential. I would use a 3/8" plastic hose and still make a mess 😅

@ChristianGrest Год назад

@@Michigan4Conservative been there. A fluid pump works pretty good when they work.

@Dickj203 6 месяцев назад

Doesn’t amsoil have friction modifiers? Isn’t that a no no for E locking axles?

@ChristianGrest 6 месяцев назад

It’s a non-issue. Ran the same fill in my last Raptor as well. You need the friction modifier on friction disk type rears, but it doesn’t make a difference with e lockers or torsen.

@Dickj203 6 месяцев назад

@@ChristianGrestgood to know. I held off running it in my 9.73 axle due to my e locker.

@ChristianGrest 6 месяцев назад

@@Dickj203 my understanding is that most all modern diff fluids have some friction additive anyways.

@mikimiki195 8 месяцев назад

Is it safe to use Amsoil in ford diff. I was told any other diff fluid can destroy your differential?

@ChristianGrest 8 месяцев назад

Yes been using Amsoil for years. It it’s a limited slip(no e locker) make sure you add the friction modifier

@mikimiki195 8 месяцев назад

@@ChristianGrest it’s 2nd gen Raptor with e lock diff So I can use none ford diff fluid

@plattner01 9 месяцев назад

did you need to re torque them from 20/25 to 33 ft pnds ???

@ChristianGrest 9 месяцев назад

I retorqued a week later. 33 is factory spec

@ChristianGrest 9 месяцев назад

So lube locker mentions to half torque then full torque, 2 passes

@plattner01 9 месяцев назад

I did the 25 # with red loc-tite like in your video and also from reading spicer specs but then after a day I re tightened them to 33 #'s@@ChristianGrest

@ChristianGrest 9 месяцев назад

@@plattner01 yea unfortunately there’s a few different school of thought on these in regards to torque values. The bolts that come with these covers tend to snap at the higher torque values, hence why I went with better bolts. The higher values are needed in my opinion even with the lube locker gasket.

@plattner01 8 месяцев назад

I went with your setup, cover and bolts with red Loctite but started at 25#'s then a day later went to 33#'s@@ChristianGrest

@dutchgretel 9 месяцев назад

Just passed 10K miles on my 23'. I will definitely go this route when the time comes to swap fluid. Great video! Any idea if the diff cover is different on the 23's vs the 21-22's? No site seems to show this part (FRPM-4033-F975) working on my 2023, but if I enter a 2022 it says it fits. Has the system just not caught up to the 23 yet, or is there a difference?

@ChristianGrest 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the compliment! They’re the same diff cover for the gen2 and gen3 Raptors including the 2023 models. Pretty sure the 2024 are also the same. It’s nice that they haven’t made changes to the differential very often.

@dutchgretel 9 месяцев назад

@@ChristianGrest I was leaning towards just assuming that, but I appreciate the confirmation.
