Thanks guys.
There are like 6 numbers for 99 up. You must match numbers for things to work correctly. Match the number and you are golden.

PATS is thru the key cylinder, transponder, PCM and cluster. The info is stored in the cluster.

Hey guys,

Do you all use Mercon V as power steering fluid in your 10th Gen F150's ?
have you upgraded to something else ?
can you upgrade to something else ?

didn't want to make a new thread on this, it's probably a redundant question.

you wouldn’t happen to have access to those numbers and what all they are optioned for? I have yet to pull mine, just need to know what to look for when I go pull one from my local pull a part. Power windows and other options to match my truck.

AK... in case you haven't noticed, my dipsh!t cousin is always trying to one up me. He's 17 years older than me, and still does it, LOL.

Funny thing is, he's been texting me about fixing his Crapmaro lately. Every family has that one dude.... and he's it.

This will only make sense to AK.... I think.

Looking at that Fairmont made me wonder if the door from a fox body Mustang would fit right on there. They are both the same basic chassis underneath.
Crapmaro is funny. I usually go with Scumaro.

Power group on a 2wd is just straight power options. Windows, door locks, power mirrors, and the list goes on. Base model without takes the XL34-14B205-AE. With power, XL34-14B205-BE. I believe you have the base v6 without power, so those are for your attention.
