another pats question

[baddis]

on my swap I am trying to avoid going to the dealer for anything. my truck is a 00 xlt excab 4x4 3.0 auto donor is a 02 excab 4x4 4.0. If i take the computer, ignition tumbler,pats module, and door locks from the donor I assume I won't have to have the dealer flash the computer for pats issues. Am I correct in my assumptions?

In theory, yes it should work.

But...

According to the tech archive for the 5.0L swap, it lists that the 2000 Ranger 6-cyl had a PATS-B system and the 2001+ Rangers had a PATS-E so I don't know how compatible the plugs and stuff are.

at least I will have a whole parts truck right next to mine. I hope I don't have to switch dash harnesses though
