do not have a laptop just want to know where to buy a ignition lock cylinder with 2 progamable keys for my truck. thanks for info though.

Almost anywhere. But you will have to get the keys programmed somewhere. The customer programming option only works if you have two working keys in your hand already.

tried to have keys programmed at a ford garage they said they couldn't program them so had to buy keys from them which I did but I suspect that they just wanted to sell me keys. The ignition switch did work that I had bought. anyways all fixed for a while now thanks.
