Did the 2001 F150 Supercrew have a keyless entry remote? Was it a standard option?

 

XLT and Lariat for sure had them. XL's I'm sure was an option. If so, then you can buy a 3 or 4 button Fob, and program it to your truck. It is a simple 5 off to on turns of the switch, ending in key on, and the locks with cycle. Then within 10 seconds hit any button on the Fob, and you have programmed one for your truck. If you want 2, just hit the second Fob within 10 seconds more and then they are both set to the truck. Simple way to set it up. Hope that helps you.

 

It does help - Thanks!
Where is the best place to buy one of these? Ebay, I presume?

 

I got 2 from e-bay and they both work fine. It was like $6 each.

Just make sure your getting a replacement fob, not just a replacement shell.

 

Before ordering. see if your truck will go into programing mode.

 

It did! Got the remotes on ebay; programming was a snap!

 

The black cases all have thin little loops for the key ring. Ford and chinese. These all break too easy. I quit using mine for yrs because they break so easy. The dorman camo cases are thick in this part and dont break. Spend 15 for the dorman cases.

 

Good tip MBB.

 

One of mine is the original from 2001. It is all how you treat them.
