I appreciate the well wishes. I felt this was the least I could do after everyone on here had been so helpful.

Long post, apologize up front. I am leaving the forum/community under very bad circumstances, but not at all due to the members on this forum. I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on here for their knowledge and help these past 21 months. I haven't posted often, tried to adhere to...

I need to ask, did this permanently fix your issue? I've been dealing with this same issue for 4 months, 2 dealers and 5 tows. The dealers in my area have flashed the pcm, replaced the pcm, and just kept it for multiple days at a time twice. Mine appears to be intermittent as the dealers...

Thanks for letting me join. Long time reader, just joined as I am now seriously looking to track down one of these vehicles. Currently in an 03 FX4, recent pay raise enables me to now get serious about one of these machines. Great site for research, thanks again.

I have been scouring my local area for a Raptor after a pay raise. I have located a black 2013 crew cab for 44k, mileage is at 46k. To this point it has been internet viewing only, will go in person in 2 days to look/inspect/drive. It appears stock with the exception of a winch and custom...
