Head gasket blown - Coolant leak
And yes my head is weeping near the t stat cover. It does not hit the ground, the heat in the motor evaporates the coolant before it can get there. Repair will be coming soon, just not sure when. I noticed it about 15k ago. I do have Mike beat on some stuff but I think most of it is the luck of the draw. I have had my share. But very few of them seem to happen close to home.

Po216, blue smoke from exhaust
Then 216 is not a good at all. The only time I have seen blue smoke out of mine was when the oe VP crapped out. You could disconnect the the Quad just to rule it out for peace of mind.

New Tire Size found 235's to 245's
I run 55 in the ftont and 45 to 50 in the rear. If I saw a dquare foot of contact patch on mine I would be under inflated. That will wear a tire faster than over infalted. The 80 psi on the tire is the pressure you need for the tire to carry its rated load.

Water leaking between body panels
I put about a foot of hose on mine but it comes with a 90 on it. Anything that stops the wind from blowing it back in will work.

Water leaking between body panels
When you removed the AC box the 90 most likely got knocjed off. The stub comes thru the fire wall on the right side at the bottom level of the AC box. It is very short and a bit hidden by the insulation. If it fell off the wind is blowing the water back in thru the firewall. You could run the AC while parked and see the water dripping. At least that is what happened with mine. I never noticed the drain while it was out.

Water leaking between body panels
You most likely just knocked the 90 off of the end of the drain and the wind is blowing back into vehicle. Just add a 90 or a piece of hose like @Dieselfuture advised and the problem will be solved. Had to do that to mine after replacing all of that stuff a few years back. Simple fix.

Waited a long time for this
I saw it, but how long till it starts cracking? Always been leary of the used oe ones on their longevity. I wanted to start fresh. No offense meant, I did consider it.

I smell it brewing in the kitchen now.- Water leaking between body panels
Leaky heater core. Is the carpet wet?- Waited a long time for this
Valet mode for a manual truck and no quad.- ECM gone. What about VP
While you hot wire you ought to mo itor the the voltage coming out of the ECM pigtail to see if the problem lies there or maybe in the relay harness for the Raptor. Hate to see you rebuild an ECM when the problem might be elsewhere.- Power Steering Pump
Where does one get a seal kit for the PS pump?- Flickering fog lamps?
If one is flickering probably a bad connector if both are most likely any of the above as @Mopar1973Man says.- ECM gone. What about VP
If you could rig your volt meter to the power for the Raptor you could at least tell whether you have good power to the LP from the ECM when it acts up. This could be the LP, VP, or the ECM. When my in tank pump was getting weak it caused some bucking and dead peadal issues that were resolved with a booster pump.- Waited a long time for this
Corn fusing!!!- Up yet?
Thats my kinfolk shes talking about. They are rather inquisitive.- Up yet?
Only if you dont get up.- ECM gone. What about VP
Are you sure the problem does not lie in the pump itself and not the ECM?- Up yet?
- Weird issue with brake pedal feel and PS pump
My truck is pretty much my office for now so i know what you mean. 92 out this way today, humidity about 90%. Need a break from this crap.- Weird issue with brake pedal feel and PS pump
You always look that mean sitting in the passanger seat?- Hard to find parts resources
One the best tools i have used is the parts look up tool and get the oe part number. It does not always turn up but has pointed me in a good direction for the most part. Some extra research will be involved. Have you tried removing the one you have cleaning it? Might just be plugged up?- Waited a long time for this
I went back in my shop and thats the first zip ties I saw, three yellow and one pink, both flourescent. Never even saw them riding to the hardware store. All i could see wash a dash bezel that fit everything it was supposed to. Got the gauge pod from Vulcan with a 3 gauge package. I already had the a pillar pods so thought i would try something different. I like the location and the gauges are easy to read. My dash pad came from LMC also, replaced it about 5 years ago. Good fit and looks also. It is a bit more involved to replace. I would also recomend while you have the dash out to pull your HVAC box and replace the heater core and evaporator. Clean it all up and replace the foam gaskets. All that might seem like alot work but it is well worth it. - Up yet?
