if you have a supercrew, the code is behind the rear seat on a box. do a search on rear seat removal and someone here posted step by step of how to remove it. i had my dealer get it off the computer when i had recall work done. i think i paid $30 extra for it but it saved me the time and trouble.

Caution: may cause nightmares 
06 King Ranch
Dk Copper
Loaded
Purchased 10/06 w/ 8,400
54,600 in 6/08 when traded in
4 rear ends(last one included complete housing)
2 rear pinion seals
2 axel seals
EATC "head" unit replaced
wiper motor (shorted out due to E-brake foot pedal wearing thru wiring harness)
4x4 motor & solenoid
Brakes - Rears @ 22k/ fronts @ 28k
rear end leak
Door rattle- electric window motor came loose(replaced prior to me owning truck)
Everything was covered UNDER WARRANTY, even the brakes- I did purchase the ESP w/ about 35,900 miles and used it once to replace the rear end & housing @ 51k
There are a couple more warranty issues I can't remember w/o checking records- it was in 15+ times in 22 months of ownership. When I traded it in 2 windows and the sunroof had intermittent electrical issues and the brake hose recall was just hitting the mail-box. As for the lemon law- it didn't qualify..... too many miles when the problems started.
The day I made the last payment on my 01 Lariat - in perfect shape w/ 137k, I traded the it in for the KR. The wife said I was crazy- it is so annoying when she is right. I sure hope the 09 or 10 I'll buy will have less problems

QUESTIONS:
1)My driver's window is verrryyyy sllloooowww...is it a must replace or fixable?? Depends on what the problem is, If it is somthing like elctrical then yes it is fixable, if it is mechanical then you might as well just replace it.
That's just my two cents tho.
2)Does anyone know how to figure out keyless entry code with factory electronic keypad on door if previous owner didn't know?? [/quote]
