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 common sense and the rules and have learned a ton from reading and interacting on here. For that I'd like to thank you all.
On to the subject at hand. Briefly- I purchased a gently used 2013 SCREW in December of 2016 (48k miles at the time). Loved it, it was really in great shape. At 65k it began not starting- not turning over and flashing every warning that the truck possesses. Even told me to "Move items from around passenger seat." Had it in 4 shops- 2 of them dealer service departments- over 6 weeks. Towed 5 times, PCM reflashed, PCM replaced. No one could figure out the problem and the Ford dealerships were both seriously jerking me around. Found a member on here who had the exact same issue with a 2012- by properly using the search function. PM between he and I revealed he also ended up having to trade his truck in. Woe is me, but that's not the point, just background. I want to post the VIN and a description of the truck, as I believe it will be re-sold in the near future, possibly wholesaled. I'm in Eastern NC, so I just want to ensure that any member who reads this after they have come across a deal that seems too good to be true can make an educated decision.
Truck is a 2013 Tuxedo Black SCREW. To my knowledge the only missing option was the front facing camera. At the time of sale it had an AirRaid CAI, FabFours pre-runner winch bumper, a Warn Zeon12 in the front bumper and was at mid-perch with Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo2 in stock size. VIN is 1FTFW1R66DFA64715.
Sorry to no longer be a Raptor owner and to be leaving the community, but appreciate all the help and assistance I received while I was here. Dealing with this issue and the dealerships in my local area nearly gave me a heart attack and/or a felony. Again, thanks to all and hope this information helps someone avoid disaster or find a great parts vehicle.
