Laugh if u will but I just did a little looking & wanted to confirm if I have a PATS Key System or not...
PATS Key is the 1st pic & a Non-PATS is the 2nd pic (have a 2006) am I correct

 

Thought only Harley Davidson and Excursions could have PATS systems.

looks like my keys there... Mustang would been the first pic.. truck is the other...

cant say for 100% but have heard thats only in the Gassers... Diesels didnt get it...

 

Yes you are correct. The offset hole is for room for the transponder.

 

ive always wondered how long them transponders last till they run out.. or they like my gun's sites and using tritium to power it..

 

 

Took the 6.0 out babysitting.

 

Lol yes it started

Today i just drove to the gas station and filled it up..i put 30 gallons in it the other day and another 10 today. 13.5 mpg on winter fuel with 4x4 usage, lots of idling/warm up time, and probably 50/50 highway/city..

 

They are RFID and powered by the reading coil that is in the column.

Part of the reason you have to be so careful about junk on the key chain.

adorable little assistant you got there mate...

Glad to hear it man...

Ahh... My key rings dont have much on them... Mustang has the Key, Keyfob, a key tag about knowing karate and 6 other chinese words.. lol an a couple of the parts store reward scan tags...

Truck key ring has the key, keyfob, dealership key ring... key for the ball hitch and the key for the tail gate lock.. learned a long time ago from working in the dealers how much damage those heavy keychains cause to the tumbers...

 

I dont think the dealers gonna like me too much when i take it in on tueday....

 

Walk with a belt in-hand....when they see you coming, it'll bring back some childhood memories for a few of them. They'll be more honest and get your issue fixed right away, the right way. LOL!

 

LOL maybe maybe not lol.. they usually do a pretty good job... at least once they finally AGREE.. thats where the problem is...

 

I went to the garage and grabbed my razor scraper and opened the drivers door of the truck. I then proceeded to scrape off the TX reg windshied sticker. I then went and got some windex and paper towels and cleaned the area of the windshield that the aforementioned sticker was. I then gently and with great care placed the new NY registration sticker to the windshield. This was all after I brushed the 6 inches of snow off Charlene! Man was this an exhausting and exciting F350 kind of morning.

Maybe in a not too distant future it will warm up a bit and I can actually do some work on this beast. Until then I have to make the little things, like putting the reg in the window, seem as exciting as possible.

 

sounds like a busy day there brian... Even though im sick i went outside.. shoved the snow from the bed and removed the 400 lbs of sandbags also from the bed.. that way when i drop the truck off tonight the tech guys wont have to deal with a bed heavy truck dripping on their heads while theyre working on it..
