How hard is it to remove the door handles? Mine are really faded and also someone put some silicon around it at some point I think to hold it in place. I can't seem to clean every bit of the silicone out without just removing it.

Its not difficult to remove the handles. It more tedious than anything. Most of your time will be spent removing and reinstalling the inner door panel. Take your time not to scratch or damage anything.
The silicone seal on both my handles started to come out. Its applied at the factory. The replacement handle I installed had a new silicone bead around the entire handle. I'm sure it will start to come out the same way after a year or so.
Here is a video to get the general idea about the handle itself. The removal part of the inner door panel on the '10s is different. Handle part is the same.

I've got a 2009 F150 XLT. I installed the keypad door handle assembly but mine does not even light at all whether pushing the buttons or opening or closing the door. Has anyone done this GEM build data modification on a 2009?

The GEM programming for 2009 is the same as 2010. It changed in 2011. Read my first post in this thread. Double check your connection to harness inside the door. It should light even if it isn't programmed.

I know this is a 3 year old thread but I noticed the original poster was from the tampa area, I wondering if he or anyone could point me to someone specific who could or would be willing to redo the programming for my 2010 xlt. Thanks for any help.

Marcus, I'm in upstate NY and would be willing to help you. Distance may be an issue though. A lot has changed these past few years. Specifically, the tools and software to do this yourself has dropped significantly. For around $15, you can get the hardware needed.
In a nutshell, a cool project called Forscan has the ability to write programming to modules. Check it out: http://forscan.org/
For hardware, you need an ELM327 adapter. Most of these on the market are clones and your success will vary. I've used KONNWEI KW902 from amazon and it works without Forscan bitching. This software uses the adapter a little more aggressively compared to simple code reader apps. It threw up on some of the other adapters I had laying around.
Another note on hardware.... the module you want to program is the GEM. That's on the MS-CAN bus. You need to perform a modification on the OBD adapter to access the MS-CAN. See http://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4
Lastly, some newer adapters don't require a modification. If you are nervous about adding a switch inside the adapter, this may be a good route for you. The adapters are more expensive, but you pay for convenience. Look for ScanTool OBDLink MX. I got excited when I read the cheaper KONNWEI claimed to have MS-CAN support. Sadly, it does not. There were no wires inside running to the MS-CAN pins. I have not personally used the ScanTool OBDLink MX, but the Forsan people claim it works right out of the box.

mtech... this is perfect thank you! I didn't realize this was now something really anyone can do. Looks like I have my Hurricane Matthew project. I have some readers so I'll give it a shot but you might be right about paying for convenience. Thanks for the reply!

I recommend once you get the computer and hardware connected to truck, first thing you should do is make a backup of your current programming. That way, if things go south, you have a backup.
From my experience, the as built provided by Ford may NOT match what's currently in the truck. After the dealer performed the mod for me, I noticed that the courtesy lights on unlock stopped working and the lock blink was so fast it was almost not noticeable. Anyway, once I finally got the ability to do the programming myself, I was able to fix that. I don't have the specific line for that handy, but can get it if needed. If you stick to modifying the current config, you won't have this problem. The difference between Forscan and dealer tools is that Forscan allows you to edit specific lines. AFAIK, the dealer tools require a full manual entry, which we did from a sheet I obtained from Motorcraft service.
If I have energy, I may make a video of the process and post to youtube to help the community.
