Curt05, she manages 14-16 on her best day on the interstate. However she does a lot of in town driving so 10-12 is the norm. Stopping and starting kills the mileage. She is into the go pedal pretty hard.

 

I was running 3.73's. I did update to 4.30's. Got the engine back into its powerband. Mileage improvement was about 1.

 

That 5.4 engine should get slightly better mpg than a V-10, shure it will have sloth like acceleration...

 

You could of had a V-8!. I mean a real V-10, but you can save a little on gas.

 

Does anyone know how to figure out the keyless entry code, is there a trick? I was not given the code and I hate to goto dealer and pay $80 for them to read computer for 5 seconds.......

 

Look for a flat metal box on or near the middle hump under the dash. You'll see a sticker on the box with a 5 digit code. That would be your master code.

 

good motor, great truck

 

I took a look and didnt really see anything, I'll have to look again, I need to try and find a picture. Is this the keyless entry module?

 

Just did this 2 days ago. Reps to SNOWSEEKER for his description.

Something like this: "Lay down with your head by the gas pedal, and the PATS box is mounted towards the firewall and has 3 about 20 pin connectors in the bottom."

You will need a small mirror and a flashlight to read it. The number is on the sticker on TOP of the box & I think it was towards the front, passenger side.

 

Wow with work I got it, I need three hands LOL, I strategically held the mirror and a small flashlight, used the other hand to use the Ipod to take the picture of the code via the mirror, took to computer and used a program to horizontally flip the picture so I can read the number straight. Code worked like a charm. I also found out you can program your own code and it will keep the factory one.

 

LOL...or you could have put the image on the iPod up to a mirror and read off the reflection.

 

beautiful truck! Welcome to the party!

 

Thank you Peace

 

Hey, Smart Alec.

 

So....... I took the EXC to the tranny shop because I thought it was making noise, I heard a belt like chirp upon 2nd gear shifting. Everyone on FTE and original tranny mechanic says its the tensioner and/or serpentine belt. I can live with that. He also stated with 143K on it, it should get serviced, so it's there now and they call me and said there is an unusal amount of metal on the magnet, which normally indicates a snap ring or sprag???? $750-1000 to pull and fix or MAY turn into a rebuild, $2600-3000 for stock, or $3200-3500 for upgraded towing tranny. My delimma is, I can still purchase the warranty for $1350 to cover the rebuild, but if it's just a fix, I'll be out a up to $750 dollars....
