[QUOTE="Ray Knight, post: 1450842, member: 24070"] Agreed. The dealer may have traded for the vehicle. Its not uncommon at all to have even a few hundred miles new on the lot. I can say, owning 3 Raptors, In stock form i don't think there is anything you can do on a "joy ride" that would hurt the truck or cause that warning. You can beat the living hell out of these trucks on a daily basis and not hurt anything. The stuff that goes wrong is all going to happen no matter how you drive it. Its not durability issues, its engineering issues. Mostly electronic. I had 3 transmissions replaced on my 19 before the first oil change. Every issue was electronic related. Nothing mechanical at all. The valve body is 100% electronic. Mechanically it can take a MASSIVE beating. But, there is a damn good chance something will go wrong with the electronics. ECU/TCU, etc. The electronic issues can cause mechanical issues too. Aside from the cam phasers the trucks are solid mechanically. The transmission control unit and valve body electronics are seriously flawed though and may take a mind of their own at any time. Just keep it stock while its under warranty and hopefully any issues can get sorted out right away. If you tune the truck, you are screwed when these things happen. They won't warranty it. [/QUOTE]
