(depends on where you live)
I will have to look into that more. I was lead to believe (by the seller) that it was very expensive to get a key programmed for this truck.

I checked the vin at the local registries and police and the vin is clear and ready to be registered.

By the way you said it yesterday I was thinking the column and or computer were fried in the new truck. A key can be cut at any ford dealer for less than 200 for a set. It does not have to be the original dealership either. A friend of mine came to visit me at school and locked his keys in his truck. 300 miles from home I had a new key made and programmed.

Yeah like i said, it depends on where you live, down here we cannot cut keys for our gen trucks anymore unless you have the original, because we "cannot get the key codes anymore" but i think its cause of the machines we use to cut the keys, so we usually send them to a locksmith or someone who makes keys for a living

Ya know, it's really nice having a pre-pats truck. Lol I don't have to worry about losing the key and not being able to drive it, I could get a new one cut and be down the road before yours gets programmed. Lmao

Haha. My grandpa had a car that needed 2 keys. But that was because the ignition switch got replaced and they couldn't key it to the original key. Why did they used to make them like that with 2 different keys?

That's just how it was lol my highboy has two keys. I figured that out by locking it up and realizing the ignition key didn't open it back lol fortunately I broke in and found the door key in the ash tray lol
