the lot i got the truck from will fix all this details but i always like to know how its done .Dont know how to post pictures here so far .. thanks in advance ... Tony

 

Fuel pump shutting off while filling. Read this thread your answer is there. It's an easy fix if you don't have a warranty. Your time will pay for the parts instead of paying someone else.

Someone else probably will come along and try to help with your other questions.

 

1. There is no PATS in these trucks, so no chip in the key. Just plain keys. Whether you are set up for keyless entry is what you need to determine. If you have a Lariat or higher, you definitely have keyless entry. If you have an XLT or lower, it was an option and you might have it. Best way I know to determine this is to follow the instructions in the owners manual for programming a FOB. You don't need the FOB to test. Just follow the instructions, and if your keylocks cycle at the beginning of the programming, then you have that option. Then purchase the FOB's on eBay and program them in. Another clue is if you have the keypad buttons on the outside of the door. If you do, then you do have keyless entry.

2. Is this truck gas or diesel? Diesels do not have the little metal door. If you have a gasser, the previous answer is a good one.

3. Can't help you on that. I assume the doors need adjustment. A bodyshop might help you with that for very little cost.

 

I just bought a 2006 F350 XLT Super Crew. Since my truck had been a repossession I only got a ignition key that the dealer had made for the truck. I had an extra key fob from my 01 F150. I had spare keys made at Walmart. Following the owner's manual I was able to program the 01 F150 remote to my F350. It took me about 5 minutes to reprogram the remote. I was able to track down the previous owner last week and he gave me a the original Ford key and another remote.

 

thanks alot for the answers guys

 

That's really not a good idea.

 

Why do you say that?

 

He may be thinking that the previous owner kept a key and will steal the truck from the new owner...

 

He may very well have another key. But he doesn't know my last name nor where I live. And I'm over 50 miles away. And if someone wants to steal my truck, or any vehicle for that matter, having a key or not isn't going to keep them from stealing it.

 

LOL! I understand...

 

Furian:
New to the site and am having trouble finding SD guys with the 5.4 L. Seems like most have either PSD or V10, probably what I should have done too. Do you feel like you gained a lot by doing the Tunning and Air Intake? I'm thinking I def need more power than this thing is giving me right now! Thanks for any help.

 

Just checked to make sure but my 05 5.4 and my 08 V10 SDS do not have the metal door in fuel neck. Neither does my wifes 07 expedition. My boys 09 explorer doesn't even have a gas cap which is kind of kool but stupid ford puts the fill on the wrong side and the exhaust also on the explorers for some reason. Must sell alot of them where they drive on the wrong side of the road. The cheap way to fix the slow fill problem is to cut or take vent hose off of plugged canister and just leave off or buy a cheap air filter for air compressor and they will screw right in hose to keep dirt out of vent system. 3$ fix verses 700$ that my buddy just paid ford for new canister that the ford shop put on his truck. I like to keep things simple and cheap as possible.

 

By the way congrats on the new truck. I think the 05 to 07 super duties are the best looking models made. U also get the better riding coils in front and the 5 speed auto. By the way if it has tires are **** u are going to have problems with it so be warned.

 

I definitely recommend getting a SCT tuner (X3 or Livewire) with custom tunes from Mike at 5 Star Tuning. The 5.4L 3V engines operate using "drive by wire" which delays the engine's response to changes (acceleration) in the gas pedal. The SCT tuner completely removes that delay and the engine is much more responsive. Get the custom tunes... they only cost a little more money but definitely worth it.

As for the CAI kit, that's depends... If you plan to install a high flow exhaust system, then you will notice a difference with the CAI kit. However, if you plan to keep the OEM exhaust or just change the muffler, then the CAI kit won't really help much. My original plan was to install new long-tube headers, high-flow cats, and dual exhaust. I'm still going to do this upgrade but now I'm also going to install a Whipple supercharger. The Whipple supercharger has its own CAI so my K&N CAI will not be used.

Here is the thread on the Whipple supercharger:

One other thing that can help performance is having the proper axle gears, depending on your tire size.

Finally, check out this thread regarding performance upgrades for the 5.4L 3V engine...

ok once again thanks alot for all the answers . now yesterday my check engine light went on and the code that i got was P0430 after some googling i see that in must cases its a bad catalys converter but for some reason the computer also mentions missfire , vacuun leak,engine oil leakage into exaust valve . so where should i start? i took a quick look under the truck and i notice that there are parts on the exaust and the catalys that have lots of rust . should i just take everything out and replace it or test for other things ???? the lot i got the truck from told me that they would fix things for free only for the first 30days i got the truck with no waranty at all but after i saw the guys there do the tuneup last sunday i dont like the way they did things and since i dont mind doing things myself when it comes to cars i would like some advise i already so the prices and i really dont mind but again i dont want to spend money until i track down what the problem is? once again thanks alot in advance .
