Thanks guys ill price out ford to see how much irbid then look at the local lock smiths that do car keys. Unfortunately I don't have AE but I have almost purchased it several times lol.

Hey it happens I'm only really upset about the passport and both my glasses and keys that right there is almost $900-1200 in losses the passport is $300 after it's been stolen and all the fees and whatnot to get a new one after replacing s theft. The rest was cloths and like phone chargers still sucks but it's all replaceable. I am working with my work for an insurance claim so I should hopefully get reimbursed at some point.

On the topic of AE can you change literally everything? Like could I eliminate O2 sensor codes and whatnot by making the computer ignore them?

Thanks warren I'll give them a call and show them my title or what ever they need.

So guys back to the truck lol, I've been thinking about the twins and I will only need to do 3 simple upgrades head studs, valve springs and while I'm doing the studs might as well do the head gasket. So small amount of work to really keep the egts low and provide a large amount of power with minimal mpg loss.

Is this the part where you justify the twin turbos by telling yourself that this truck will be an ultra efficient 6000lbs of 5.9l diesel powered ECO vehicle?

Because if it is, I couldn't be happier. Those Prius driving nitwits won't have anything on your concern for the environment
