Default Install Raptor Off road mode?

Has anyone successfully installed the raptor off road mode option? I know that 4x4 ecm is different. Google searching just pulls up all kinds of raptor related stuff.

I know it may not be worth it, but honestly what mods usually are?

I guess it would be cool to see if we can figure this one out.

Thanks

I don't know about ORM, but a couple guys have installed Raptor TCCM's so they have the option of locked rear at high speed. I would think its doable but I wouldn't know where to start.

With the raptor TCCM you can run with the locker at higher speed? Do tell more about this. I think my truck unlocks the locker at 25mph.

Yes. I'm on my phone so finding the link would be cumbersome at best. Just search TCCM and you'll find the discussion and install steps.

Just that mod adds so much capability. If we could figure out ORM, Raptor conversions would be a cheap alternative to shelling out for a real one and you could pick which engine you want.

here ya go...https://www.f150forum.com/f38/e-lock...ide-mod-83937/
i did this on my 09 and it disengages at 15 or 20 mph... also im pretty sure the off road mode is almost impossible to do because you need a raptor pcm (ecu)

If its just code, couldn't you install that code on a non Raptor ECM? It's obviously more involved than a handheld but I would think one of the large tuners could do it - if there was a market for it.

If not, buy a 2013 FX4 with the 6.2 and swap ECM's

Easy enough, lol.

I've researched it quite a bit and haven't heard of anybody that has done it. What feature are you looking for? I was planning on buying a raptor TCCM and raptor selector switch but learned you will only get 2wd lock up to 25 mph without "Raptor Mode" enabled, just liked the 2012 F150's already do...

This summer I plan on cutting the wiring that controls the locker and run it to a switch fed by 12 volts so I can keep it locked up all the way to the speed limiter in 2wd.

I just want to be able to turn all the driving nannies off. Would be nice for it to have locker at what ever speed.

Also i think off road mode disable the Traction control, Stability control at any speed. Currently if you turn them off they re engages at 35mph or something.

I know its dumb, but i like a good project. I got back in my 99 F-150 today and was out playing in the snow/ice and it was nice to be able to do what i want when i want. Not have stability or roll control trying to stop me from doing what i want, or the traction control. It doesnt have that stuff.

Here is a breakout of the Raptor stuff:

I thought I read somewhere that pulling the ABS fuse would keep the locker engaged but I can't find the thread to verify.

Subscribed. While traction control can be nice at times, I wish I could turn it all off. Especially since my job requires me to be offroad most of the time
