A locksmith can. They deal with that stuff all the time.

1. Locksmith

2. If you have the key code, (when you took delivery there was a tab attached to your key with a number on it) you could go to the dealer and get one cut from the # Your dealer might have that number on file or something also.

3. This is a long shot, but there is a 1" diameter hole in the floor of your cab that you could crawl under the truck and access the cab thru. The hole is near the base of the gas pedal, and it has a couple wires going thru it, and a rubber grommet plugging the hole. You could poke the grommet thru the hole from under the truck, and with some kind of implement you might be able to push the carpet out of the way and using a coat hanger or something either try to tap the powerlock to open the door, or perhaps fish the key out of the ignition and get it to the hole.

 

if you take the vin number from the dash to the dealer they can cut you a new key to get in the door.only costs about ten bucks,and your done.then stick the blasted thing in your wallet.

 

Something I've done on previous vehicles has been to have a spare key made and then attach it under the truck somewhere with a zip tie. Somewhere that it won't be easily found but it could get you out of a real jam depending on where you get locked out. On my old suburban for security I had only the door key under the truck, and the ignition key hidden inside the truck.

All that is out the window in my SuperDuty... I got the keypad on the door which is awesome.

Awe yes, the wallet key has saved me a couple times already. I got one cut without the rubber thumb pad, that way it fits in the wallet easier.

 

Try thowing a small rock or a brick thru the window then carfully reaching through the jagged glass to get your keys back.

 

Ypur dealer might not cut keys without registration or title and POSITIVE ID. It should be fairly simple with those.

This is what I always did before I had the door keypad.

I would spray wd-40 on the key and then tape the key to a brace or something under the truck with black electrical tape so it couldn't be seen if someone looked.

 

If you have AAA, they will do it. Just call an they send out locksmith, not sure on other road services

 

Yeah, The 45-50 dollar yearly fees for AAA are worth it just for the lockouts.

 

Wedge the area open slightly between the window and seal to gain access to the insides of the door. You need A heavy wire bent like an L with duct tape wrapped with the sticky side outwards on the bottom of the L. Slide the tool into the door opening and twist the tool so the bottom of the L faces inward. Slide the tool around till you see the button moving. Place some side pressure on the rod with the tool and the tape will stick enough to the rod so you can lift the button rod up. Worked on my 02 in about 10 seconds. Bill

I did the same thing the other day. Fortunately for me my son Mike was visting. He simply got out his slim jim,' bent a slight curve back towards the outside of the door, slipped it in and down by the lock area, fished a couple imtes and presto it is unlocked. Prob took 10 seconds including the bend. He is an ex-towtruck driver and has a wide array of tools and gimmicks both bought and home made. Yep, can get in any of them w/out damage to the vehicle.

Harbor Flake has a tool kit for such also available. I bought one and it is OK for the low cost. Just don't leave it in the vehicle,,, and don't ask why...
