    Soon to be raptor owner in New England

    The salesman is young but very auto-savvy... it's clear something has been done to the Key to limit the speed. A very visible callout somewhere on the dash confirms, stating something like "Warning: Speed limited to 70mph". As he said, he can't be selling a powerful truck like this Raptor and...

    It was not but it should have been completed yesterday as it was scheduled to be done at the Local Ford Dealership. Considering the potential risk, I am amazed that none of the 3 previous owners had it done... the original owner had it for 9 years and lived here in CT. He had it serviced at...

    The Ford dealership had it scheduled to be done yesterday. The carfax had an alert on this recall as open with a big down/con arrow. The dealer already had it scheduled before I asked. It's a safety recall on Ford's dime. I don't expect I'll get any more freebies though. :uhoh2: .. Thanks...

    Thank you sir. Purchased in 2019 from the original owner, the paint is magnificent but there was a lot of work to bring her up to "Excellent" standard. I was going to try and sell her but too many lowballers out there. Plus I'd get killed with CT sales tax on the Raptor purchase, so I offered...

    Thanks for your input Grumpy Car Stereo Guy. The sales rep (young kid, 22) gets a callout when the truck is started warning that the vehicle is speed limited to 70mph and was told he needs a second "programmed" key give to the new owner. I guess he'll find out one way or the other, probably...

    Thanks for the welcome nex. Appreciated. I am aware of the Fuse 27 mod but not sure what the "lead frame" refers to.:confused: Please enlighten me sir. Yup, lots to learn and I surely have my work cut out for me, but even though I'm a bit slower than younger days, being retired means I can...

    Thanks, Captnslo. Glad to be here. :happy107: Here's some eye candy...the lift, not the firehawk. Does come in handy... being a gray beard, it's a prerequisite for any auto work... just can't do the roll-around on-the-floor stuff anymore. :Nonono:
