Where to Find Build Sheet & Door Panel Code?
After searching a bit, I wasn't able to find a definitive answer to these questions, so I was hoping I might get a better answer by making a new thread 
1. I am wanting to see if I can get a build sheet for my truck I just bought. I'm curious to see what options and what items it was supposed to come with (more specifically gear ratio's). Other than calling up a dealer, is there another way to get one?
2. I got my truck for a dealer who bought the truck at auction and it came w/ no keyfob and no info on what the door code was for the number panel there on the handle. I ordered a keyfob off ebay already, but wanted to know if there was a way to get the info on the door panel. I read somewhere about it being behind the backseat, but I would really prefer not to have to take that off. Is there any other way?
Thanks in advance for any help

well to find out the axle gear just look on your driver door and you'll see a sticker with vin and other stuff ...you'll see a axle code ...get it and post it on here
and for the keyless entry code you have two options go to the dealer and get chargerd for them to get the code or take out the back seat and on the driver side on a black box on a white sticker the code is their

Any idea on pricing to look up that code that they might charge? Just trying to weight it out and see if it would be worth it to remove the seat or not
I looked at the door tag and it looks like the code is B6, which according to a google search, should be the 3.73 LSD. Really I'm just trying to make sure my truck is truly a FX4 package. It has the gauges and the dash trim and of course the decals, but I was told it came with skidplates and rancho shocks. Mine only has one skid plate and no rancho's. Was this person mistaken in what the FX4 includes?

If you have the carbon fiber dash, then it should be a FX4.
The FX4 does not come with Rancho (red) shocks. They are standard black looking shocks just like all the other models, but they are advertised by Ford as off-road shock absorbers, meaning they are slightly stiffer shocks (and have a different part number) than those of the other F150 models.
I think a dealer employee should be able to find out your original build sheet using your VIN number.

The door code is not that hard to get from behind the rear seat...I spent about a half hour fighting with it before I had to go to another obligation...than I checked out the page I was sent on here saying how to remove the seat again and realized how exactly the plastic tabs release the rear seat and it came out in about 90 seconds...the rest is pie finding the mondule after that...
The 90 seconds account for being able to squeeze your hand behind the seat and grab the release tabs...it took some finagiling but wasn't horrible...

*Ya dont need to remove T50 bolt holding seat belt guide up
*Those black tabs (2) hold onto the seat like an upside down "u" over the top edge of the metal tab shown in the picture (below the pictures of the plastic black hook tabs)... so you just need to reach back and pull them back towards the cab wall while put some downward pressure one the seat back giving you some "slack" room to release the tabs

Can I email you two Vins for build sheet?
I posted over in the excursion forum that we just got our 2nd 2004 Diesel Limited Excursion (first was totaled about a month ago) and there are a few differences that I'm curious about.
The steering wheel of the new one has temp/fan controls where the other didn't
The tow/haul light was in the intremental panel now its on the selector stick
Anyways let me know if I can email you, post the vins here or if your too busy!
Thanks,
Anne
