the pats modual in the ranger dosent match the pcm. the pats modual sends a specific code to the pcm to make it start. if its not the right code it wont start. for wasnt ****in around when they designed this system. some one tried to jack my truck last night. didnt work to good since i cant even start it. they didnt take anything just pushed it 30 feet and gave up when they realized they couldnt get it through the locked gates at my shop. i am going to review the servalance system tomorrow to see what i can find out. and to top it off i threw out my back today so im kinda doped up.

the explorer didnt have a key with it so i would have had to get a new key programed anyways. and when i pulled the expo motor i was pressed for time so i said ef it i will make the other pats modual work. i drop my truck sometime this week to get it reprogremmed.

You know it!

The only rims I would trade these for are a set of Deep dish Bullitts or FR500s. Speaking of which, if you ever come across a set on CL or something, send a text my way.

Sorry to hear that. Hang in there bud, be strong for your family.

Nothing can ever be easy, can it? That's why I keep pushing off my 4.0 swap, wiring that thing is going to be a bitch and a half.
Is the time change fuking anyone else up???
No. It's still dark when I get to work and it's dark when I get home too. Didn't even have to change any clocks. That shit is automatic n' shit, yo.
