FAQ:
Q: That info you gave on the ford key and cranking the t-bars was great. Thanks. I have a question, when I want to the ford parts web site I entered the part # you gave and two parts came up and I wonder if you tell me which one I need. There was one for Expedition, Navigator 4wd '97-'02 AND F-150/250 4wd 97-04. If you can help me I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
