2001 Keyless Entry?

I have a 2001 F250 XLT that I bought used. I had the dealer add a keyless entry system since he told me it didn't come with one from the factory. I don't have the window sticker, but based on everything I can find, the XLT came standard with keyless entry. Any way to confirm this and if so, how could I get replacement fobs that would work with my truck?

Thanks,

Jim

My 2001 F250 XLT crew did not come with keyless entry. I looked into adding it and it is about $149 for the factory box. You can get a cheap bulldog brand setup for $75 from wal-mart though. I ran one of those on a 1996 K1500 and it worked great, I think you could even make it flash the lights. If I do go with one it will probably be aftermarket and have a remote starter as well.

Let me know what you find out, maybe it can be done cheaper on the XLT's if the main RF box is already there?

This is the kinda crap I just don't get.

A person goes out and drops $40,000.00 on a brand new truck, and finds a $149.00 keyless entry to be an option.....unbelievable.

I hear ya Rocket Man, kind of surprised me when I called the original owner back up and told him he forget to give me the key fob and he said there wasn't one?? I have the original window sticker from the truck, $34K, and no keyless entry. That's just something that Chevy seems to always have on their trucks.
Not a big deal, but it is nice to have,
Ed
