can I disable the trasponder in my ignition
Got my new truck a month ago and decided to go have an extra key made. Can't believe it, I have to make an appointment and it is going to cost $87.00 plus taxes.. around $100 total.
Really.....come on. So the question then... Can I disable the transponder in my ingition so that it will start with a normal $2.50 key? You know, the old way. |

They stopped putting PATS on trucks in 2003
You 100% sure you have a transponder? Post a picture of your key and we can tell. |

If you already have two PATS keys, you can make your own copies. Buy the blank keys on ebay for like $5, have the key cut copied at a hardware store for another $5. Then follow the procedure in the manual for programming it yourself for free.
IF you only have one PATS key, you are indeed screwed. You will have to go to the dealer and bed over. |

My spare cost me $7 on eBay ,but $15 to have it professionally cut Still..key works great and I saved a ton! By-the-way ... Careful on purchasing some keys... BRASS keys are what you want ,not steel ! It will wear down your ignition switch |

Walmart can do the PATS key and it isn't as bad as the dealer...I got mine off ebay went to Wal-Mart had them program one so I would have two then I did the other one when I got home...I have 3 and I will always have 3 now at all times...when I broke my last one I ordered a new key ASAP then got it cut and programmed it cost about 12 bucks for the key and getting it cut...
