Q: Igniton killswitch (smartloc) problems on ford f150?
I have a 2006 ford f150 that came with a igntion killswitch. Anyway, the otherday i was 30 min from home and needed back quick. unfortuantly , i had a dead battery in my remote for this smartloc antitheft thing. Well the dealer left the old relay or whatever in my truck glovebox so i removed that one and put in the orig. truck started up and made it home. well now i want to use the remote on my truck , but i cannot find how i am supposed to program the unit. I have 2 remotes for it, both are 2 button, one small button one large , and i dont know what the steps are to reprogram the remotes. Has anyone had any experance at a dealership with this? can someone please tell me the steps to program this? thanks! Im sorry but that process is not for the smartloc feature. that is for the unlock/lock remotes. the smartloc is on a seperate remote and its only job is to arm/disarm the ignition. thanks anyway

A: my brother-in-law used to work for 'Interloc Inc." you might wanna email them ! interloc.com ?????????????????????????? They may know.

Q: what would you prefer? a 2006 Ford F-150 slightly barely used? or a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado used of course?
i got an offer for a red chevy silverado, 2003 that had about 20,000 miles on it, it was nice and all, the price was around $22,000. this was at a preowned dealership. at a new ford truck dealership i got an offer for a 2006 Ford F150 with around 5,000 miles only a little more on the tag, $25,000. i came out with the same amount down payment and around the same amount monthly payment...which would you have taken? the thing about this was that since i have kinda shaky credit, the first salesman was trying to get me financed like really hard, but i left his dealership with an "i'll call you later with the results" so while i was waiting i decided to go to this dealership that i had heard alot about, in no time at all i chose the truck i wanted, financed it and while it was being washed and waxed about 6hrs. later salesman #1 calls and says he finally got me approved, to which i answered nevermind i already bought a truck, what would you have done, gone for the better deal like i did? i felt bad afterwards for salesman #1 being as how they earn theyre paycheck by commission. but a good deal is a good deal right? dont get me wrong, the salesman at the ford dealership sold the heck out of that truck, and he earned that sale too, i just left salesman #1 with the impression that i was going to buy a truck from him....a question i ask myself is "what the hell took him so long?"

Q: whats the average miles per gallon on a Newer(2003-2006) Dodge 1500 or Ford F150?

Q: Need to get my 2006 ford pick up lowered 8 to 10"?
I want to get my 2006 f150 down in the dirt. I need 6 inches in the front and need 9 inches in the back. And if I can avoid it, I don't want to bag it. Belt Tech makes 3.5 / 5" drop. I also want to keep all the aligment correct.

A: The problem you'll probably run into is nobody will make a kit then what you stated about belltech. It would take alot of custom suspension fab work to get it that low. I'd try searching a chat forum about lowering fords.
