I work for Eaton (specifically in the prototype sector) and the supercharger rattle is a common problem. The bearings and everything inside that blower were more than fine, but the couplers are known to wear out and rattle. For anyone who runs into this problem, just replace that coupler. Its a lot easier, much cheaper and designed to be serviceable. Edit: Removed top part. Obviously a lot of ppl have seen this. Best wishes everyone and thanks to BIFB for the quality content!!!
Does anyone else miss the days of OG Chris, you know the Chris that would spend the first 30 seconds of the video telling us with great confidence what he thought he was going to achieve in the video, followed by us watching 30 minutes of him not doing it...
DIY helper tip... wear a fresh tyvek suit to work in. Your clothes have super fine silicates from your laundry detergent. Just standing around them after the final clean will shed those onto the part causing pin holes in the paint.
I love this channel but they take shortcuts and lazy/cheaper approaches to things that they don’t want to spend anymore time with. Shame too because they have the best ideas in the automotive RUclips world.
This is the most hacked together build I have ever seen, you can buy the aftermarket body panels to do this for less than $2k. They aren't as good quality as the oem ones but at least they will fit.
@@Blue_Flame_Raptor if you really wanted to you could add a couple layers to the aftermarket ones and make them better/stronger than stock. This swap makes no sense why they tried to use oem panels that simply don't fit. After everything they did it looks terrible. I'd feel like a dipshit driving around after the hack job they did.
@@jcbuilds3648 not to mention there isn't really a reason to do it. Why would anybody want their limited production truck to look like one they made hundreds of thousands of?
I think you guys did a great job everyone critiques every little thing like the door fender gap and the three lights on the front that nobody knew if they worked or not . Remember this is a shop truck to work out of not a show truck and from day one when you got the thing its definitely way more awsome id be proud of it man . You guys rock love your content .
Yeah but should still fix the fender door gap. What’s the point of doing all that work if your gonna do it half ass? I’m not trying to roast or talk smack but seriously why not put a little bit more work and make it look right?
i mean you have to love how much work they do themselves. painting fabricating troubleshooting. especially when you see people with way bigger shops sending a ton of stuff out to do that stuff.
Great job. That blue looks awesome. 👍 BTW. I like the new look but a direct comparison before vs. after would have been nice at the end. I'm just nitpicking.
Nice, a car channel doing car stuff - crazy right! Upgrade looks awesome, I would of colour matched the wide fender panels seeing as you had the gun and paint out anyway but solid job.
I think you wired in the high beams when driving home from the restaurant if I’m not mistaken (which is why they’re so high, they don’t need adjusting)
Finally! I've been waiting for this episode forever! Good job guys. Have you considered adding some matching male + female plugs to the headlight harness so you'd be able to easily disconnect if needed?
The Truck came out great I would love to upgrade the front end of my truck but that looks like more work than i'm willing to put in but great job guys!
You should use grey scotchbrite with a rubbing paste after using the 400grit. Two benefits, evens out the sanding scratches (so you don't see the finger marks) and cleans the panel at the same time.
so im commenting this while you where doing the body work. but im pretty sure the beam thats closer to the hood line is actually the low beam and the lower one near the bumper is the high beam. ive yet to work on a gen 2 raptor but thats how all the modern f150's are so id doubt they'd do something different that may be why it was blinding other drivers
Before you compound the bonnet (hood!) you need to sand the dust nibs with something like 2000 grit wet n dry paper. Plenty of warm soapy water, knock the nibs off, then a quick sand all over, then buff, and the results will be awesome.
I would’ve sanded that better, all repair areas in 320 then spot high build primer and then final sanded the entire parts flat with 400 then 600. After sanding hit all edges with grey scotchbrite to ensure a proper mechanical adhesion, then a wet on wet coat of sealer and base, finish off your base coverage and clear coat, I always use a slower reducer than what my ambient temps require which will allow it to flow a bit better and don’t have to worry about it flashing off too fast. Slower is always faster when painting because you avoid mistakes and allow the paint to do its thing, definitely getting better with your painting. I’d suggest taking a certification course with the paint manufacturer you use the most, helped me out a ton to learn from the manufacturer how to best apply their products. Turned out great.
The face lift looks really good is there a such thing as a truck bed lift because I think it would look very nice with the 2017 raptor tail gate and truck bed
Cannot wIt for single seat shows to be back. But with sema canceled. Plenty of time for that. The boat build is great. Can not wait to see all the upgrades to the B is for Boat.
i think that the daylight is also switched to thesignal light..i saw many raptors that thedaylight can be signal light..just what i think..ahaha i hope u can post 2x a week..

To the top gents!
Thank you
was an easy fix on my Eaton Gen III M90.
Whats service life for the internals? I’m sure that one was due for overhaul. I assume first oil change for the unit.
people like you are the reason I love this community on BIFB’s page

Should epoxy the garage floor. Cement floors give off a ton of dust.
That's why you wash down the floor, so the dust stays down. They need better ventilation. You can see the amount of spray in the air is terrible.
@@thatguy.42 or just epoxy them an leaf blow /mop them when there dirty 👀
Epoxied floors are extremely slippery, versus bare cement that sucks in the water instead of puddling.
@@Adierit if you add shark grip or comparable products it won’t be slick

That front end looks awesome now that it's painted! But i think it really needs a new front bumper to finish the look! 👀
Hope he remembered to wire in the 3 clearance lights in the grill.
It looks awesome! But what about the 3 little lights that are on top of the grille? They need to work!
Agreed
Finally, been waiting with my instant noodles for this.
dude same thing HAHAHAHAHA
So worth it tho
Got chicken or beef flavor?

I think he missed the lights on the grill.
The bottom bulbs on the headlights are the high beams 😂
Beat me to it...
I was looking to see if someone had already said it. Thank you lol
Was also about to comment on that.
Facts
It just doesn't matter those lights are going blind everyone high or low ... but yeah I got a good chuckle too....LoL
Oscar is amazing. Everyone needs a Oscar.
I have 10 ouscer fish 😂😂😂
Oscar needs a better partner 😂. His quality is too high for this channel
@@zerofive439 it's about friendship

Guys, 1.39M subs 👏🏻 I’ve been here since 17,000
I’ve been here since 30k
same!
I love how you guys use cheap harbor freight tools and still do such a good job.
Definitely should try to fab the 17 bumper on to the front as well it'll complete the look imo.
Nerf bumper would look better
It will never fit, look how much the frame sticks out past the body
This show should be called " O is for OSCAR" the man that always comes throw .
Man I remember the old projects you guys tried to paint and man you guys have come a long way cool to see congrats guys
Looks great! I love that blue color and am happy you kept it!
Great to see you finally get some good results with paint... I have been really avoiding some painting, this gives me more confidence.
Nice, a car channel doing car stuff - crazy right! Upgrade looks awesome, I would of colour matched the wide fender panels seeing as you had the gun and paint out anyway but solid job.
That fender to door transition looks like it is just asking for water intrusion... Did he address that somewhere and I missed it?
The fender is just mounted on the outside really, the water cant get through there.
I don’t think it was addressed. Even if it turned out to be water tight, details like that kinda bug me. 😕
That truck came out great!!! Awesome job! Nothing cooler than a supercharged ford raptor!
I think you wired in the high beams when driving home from the restaurant if I’m not mistaken (which is why they’re so high, they don’t need adjusting)
Love front end swap on the Raptor looks awesome awesome job! So glad you went with the blue. I love that ford blue!
Finally! I've been waiting for this episode forever! Good job guys. Have you considered adding some matching male + female plugs to the headlight harness so you'd be able to easily disconnect if needed?
I'm really excited about the boat as much as I'm bummed about it getting the ls swap
I’m gonna do this to my 2008 ford f150
The final product looks awesome!
spray on "Evenly Dirty " could be a B brand product opportunity lol
The Truck came out great I would love to upgrade the front end of my truck but that looks like more work than i'm willing to put in but great job guys!
What a nice result, congrats B
You should use grey scotchbrite with a rubbing paste after using the 400grit. Two benefits, evens out the sanding scratches (so you don't see the finger marks) and cleans the panel at the same time.
Looks great, looking forward to watching the next step in the boat re-power.
That's a good looking update to the truck. Nice
I think this was your best paint job ever!

For others- He fixed it by the end. high's on bottom, which is (partly) why they were pointed so high when he drove back from TG
I totally thought the specks in the light on the hood were part of the metallic paint lol
Love the progress, great looking truck.
Love the new look, great job as always. Seems like you need a little more ventilation in the booth :)
raptor front end upgrade turned out awesome!

I’m very impressed with how thorough you guys were with that headlight replacement job. Good job is for build! 😂
Glad you kept it blue! Awesome job!
Cool results. May i suggest adding connectors for the head lights. Just to make them serviceable. Some delphi waterproof ones
lmao you just nail it for using the high beam heading home!
As far as your clear coat, try using a slower activated and reducer to increase your recoat window.
Yeah, I could not live with that door like that, but it's not my truck so as long as your happy with it Chris.
Looks great guys. Good tips for us DIY painters👍
Raptor looks great. Really like the Blue............
Turned out really nice guys. Great job.
B is for Build is the best channel. Have a good day 🤘
Can’t wait to see the Raptor going offroading🔥
He and Dr. Matt from Demo Ranch should do the Texas Raptor Run
Fuck that! I wanna see the 240z rip around a track
Ooh yea me too
I love the modest looking blue
I don’t know a whole bunch about cars, but I do know Oscar is the star of this channel.
I wouldn't have sold my old one if I knew this! Pretty cool!
Body gaps look horrid from door to fender from what was shown. Kinda disappointed and curious why that wasn't shown more.
That is the B is for Build way. Do everything about 85%.
@@silviodante9975 unfortunately you may be right
I think we know why it wasn't shown more lol. B is for Hack, has been since day one.
B is for Butcher it
They mentioned in the last video of this build..
You missed a perfect "Wax on, wax off" at 12:48 haha xD
You should connect those raptor lights (grille) for the complete 2017 look
Looks really good. Oscar you da man
Things haven’t been the same since elenor
👍🏽
SSSShhhhh you can't say the name!!!1
CutLeRoc elenor elenor elenor!!!
What do you mean?
@@AgaetiAlex feels like so much more was happening on his channel before the elenor car was scrapped
I'm a little late but the light beam was high because those are the high beams. The top ones are the low beams.
That hood has a bunch of tiger stripes
The face lift looks really good is there a such thing as a truck bed lift because I think it would look very nice with the 2017 raptor tail gate and truck bed
I think the top bulb is the low beam. You wired the high beam on.
Maybe oem rims? And a new inter cooler? Maybe 🤷🏽♂️ but Raptor looks amazing brotha great job 🙌🏽🔥💯
Love the random life jacket on the floor
Are you ever gonna replace that right front rim? its a shame to do all of this work and not fix the rim.
Oscar will
Looks awsome chris I would much rather have this beast than one of the EcoBoost v6 raptors the rumble of a V8 never get's old!
@ChrisFix They used SOAPY WOODER
Just planned to check bisforbuild and here we go :D nice
I could be wrong, but the bottom lights are brights I think ?? The low beams should be the top lights.
Nice, congrats!!! (That bumper... mmmhm)
I will do this front end conversion when I find another cheap gen 1.
Awesome work but I think if you Replace the doors with the new ones Will be nice
You couldn't paint it grey, but the blue is still a really good second! Still looks really good :)
Paint looks great!
8:00 in it's "OK GUYS, this time we in other Chris's garage" XD
Yeah! B is for Build!
awesome job! looks amazing!
Loving it 💟
Would have loved it if u did the whole car in the grey. ! Would have looked sick !
Looks great! Now get back to the boat ⚓
The conversion looks good when you can't see any other part of the truck lol. Definitely does not go together. That fender to door is bad.
Oscar. the man , the myth, the KING OF ENGINEERING!
I'm not a truck guy normally, but it does look handsome.
Great job guys.. now when is the single seater build resuming ??
Oscar is the man he can do anything.
Would love to do this conversion on my 2014 supercharged Raptor 😬🤓. Y’all should sell this as a service. I’d buy!
props to your man Oscar
Wow, awesome transformation! Badass👍
coat your paint booth floor it will help keep the dust down.
18:04 Perfect example of why a person has to be smarter than their vehicle. NEVER use auto lights, use the light switch.
Chris, you should have gotten tiny wheels so it would drop the truck significantly allowing you to paint inside.
Cannot wIt for single seat shows to be back. But with sema canceled. Plenty of time for that. The boat build is great. Can not wait to see all the upgrades to the B is for Boat.
