Need key and key locks, possibly

I haven't been able to find my 01 7.3L excursion keys so if anyone has a line on keys and matching lock sets for the steering column and doors please let me know. Hopefully I will stumble across them in the next couple days but so far no luck. Thank you.

A good locksmith should be able to cut a key from feel but the ignition key will need to be programmed by the Ford dealer to pick up the PATS frequency of the new key. You'll have to have it towed to the dealer for that.

Call a couple of locksmiths as some have the computer that allows them to reset the key code at your location. I found a mobile guy here in Fla. who charged $75 to cut and program 3 keys and remotes all in about 20 minutes. I had ordered the key blanks on ebay. He had keys as well and cheaper than dealer.

Well Ford doesn't have my key code but did find a lock Smith that I believe is a member of a organization that keeps these codes back to the 90's. $25 I bought the code, if I don't find the key then $185 next week will fix it. Boohoo!

Well I got a couple keys made by a local locksmith. $245 booboo, sucks. Actually $270 including the cost of buying the code, but that saved a good chunk in the end.
