So I've done some research, but I think I've read too much and confused myself. Truck is only $200 bc the guy has lost his keys and I talked him out of junking it. Problem is it's PATS equipped I believe. I'm new to PATS as my '97 explorer isn't so equipped.
I'm thinking of just changing out all PATS related components from a salvage truck o the same year. I found two in my local salvage yard that still have original PATS key. Question is how much needs to be swapped over? I know the key, lock cylinder, the module around the key cylinder, and I believe the PCM as well. I've read about a module or receiver either bein behind the pass airbag or in the driver side rear interior panel. Just want to get the truck running and see if it's worth anymore time/money invested. My local pick and pull is very cheaply priced, and I've read dealers are rather expensive, the tow bill alone would be more than I paid for the truck.
Thanks in advance!
