Thanks for pointing that out Robb!
I had to edit the link up there b/c it was showing my truck's VIN/options.
Good thing I wasn't putting up my Bank's site! lol
Thanks again Robb!

That is pretty slick. I been wondering and have not taken the time to see if I had remote entry - but this thing says I do. Just need to go get a remote now and program the durn thing.

FWIW:
Programing is easy, Just look under the dash and find the gray plastic piece shown below and put a jumper across the wires with the ignition in acc mode. Then just press any button on the fob. easy as pie

Sorry Ian, I always end up adding OT stuff threads...

I am in the same boat as you. If you find where they sell them cheep please let me know. I have found them on evil-bay but they all want to be payed by Pay Pal and I don't do Pay Pal. If I could find a seller that will take a credit card I would buy 2.

More OT...

Ian, to be honest, Paypal is safer that sending the seller your CC info directly. Paypal does not send your CC info to the seller (who could be anyone) that way, your information is never actually revealed.

PLUS every time you enter your cc number into the computer, there is always a chance it could be picked up with a key-logger or other computer virus (I'm pretty paranoid with this stuff, as my bank card number has been stolen before..)

Also, I've used paypal's dispute resolution center a few times and they are really good about helping with missing/damaged etc items

May be worth a look over... just my .02

Very good link, works really quick. The info I got from FORD said my truck had LS in the rear axle, but the info in this link says the correct: Non LS.

I tried to rep you, but you know the story.

Thanks Ian, pretty cool. One thing is weird, it shows '7J X 15 FLUSH 5 PORT ALUMINUM WHEEL' and mine when I bought it had steel wheels. I bought my Aluminum wheels from a friend. Maybe the orginal owner kept them or sold them?
