I dont have any paperwork and the truck didnt even come with the owners manual. I drove it back from Wichita Falls Texas, all around Dallas and then back to Jackson Ms over a month and 1200 miles ago. Two weeks ago it started and considering it was at the dealership this entire past week. In one week it stranded me 3 times. Less than 25 miles that week.

Just got off the phone with the service manager from the dealership. Apparently the alarm is a Ford product installed at the dealership which explains why there is not a separate activation key/device.

You mean I have to pay for the truck?


Just messing with ya. Some buy here pay here dealers put a device in your vehicle and if you miss your payment, it won't start and they come repo it.

Update.
Mechanic found burned fuse block in the fuse/relay box and feels pretty confident this was causing the cranking issues. He was surprised it would even crank considering. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that was it. Plus I'm dying to install my new headlights from Raptor Retrofit.

if it was dealer installed, they need a copy of the bill

Cranking but not starting

Drove my stock 2013 raptor to a restaurant and after lunch it would spin over but not start, there was no check engine light i had a code reader and it was not showing any codes, i looked at the fuse block and nothing looked bad, the micro fuses are seated deep after about 30 minutes of trying to start it, the truck started, the next morning went out to see if there was any thing i might have missed because it started right up, started re seating all the fuses and fuse #27 was melted on the hot side and the fuse was not blown it was barley making contact, this is power for the fuel pump relay, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem
