My boss is a jerk,
of course, of course,
he looks like the back
of a horse, of course,
he's fat and bald,
and he's a dork,
I wish that he'd drop dead.

He goes yakkity-yak a lot,
his ugly face turns red,
I bet when he was just a kid,
his mom dropped him on his head.

My boss is a nerd,
you've heard, you've heard,
He's got all the brains
of a hummingbird,
You've never heard of
a talking dork?
Well listen to this:
"You're all fired!"
He's a doo-doo head!
That is pretty good!

Yep I have been nominated and I accepted but I guess there is a 30 day approval process! Hopefully I pass! LOL

You may want to confirm that. If you do have the PATS and only have 2 keys then get a third and you should be able to program it yourself. Because if you only have 2 keys and loose one then you need a locks smith or dealer to program a second. Instead of being $20-30 it will cost $150-200. I know because the excursions came with PATS and I lost the only key we had to it. Plus ford only keeps the last 10 years of codes and mine was outside of that by a year or two. There is a private organization that keeps the codes for much longer that some locks smiths are members of so I was able to get through one for $35. I still need to make a third key. I also need to make some FOBS also. Can existing ones from different ford vehicles and years be used? be used

I know I don't have the PATS key. I don't have a factory security system. I believe those that did came with PATS keys. I got the key FOB to work that belonged to my wife's Freestyle (she has a remote starter so does not need factory key FOB anymore). Only problem is now both car and truck lock/unlock with same FOB. I ordered another so I can reprogram them different once it arrives. It was only $10 on Ebay. Almost any Ford FOB will work.


Never mind the factory security system comment. I believe both our vehicles have it. I am not sure which ones got PATS keys or why.

I didn't think it was offered on Superduty trucks, even the new ones. I could(and likely am) wrong, been a long time since I looked at a newer truck.
