I'll have to see if I can find a ford junkyard around here. Everything in Kennedale is foreign. Plus having to find a 3.8 specifically makes it harder.

Well guys, apparently this mod is no longer in my future.

Truck was stolen... I am at a lose for words.

Finished work last week, walked outside and it was gone.

Good thing I still have the Intrepid I was going to replace the Dakota with.

Going to start looking at something newer... maybe at 06 with a 4.7.

Damn dude, that sucks. These trucks are hard to steal, too (if they have the sentry system with gray key). What in the world could they have wanted?! Nobody at your work noticed? No security cams?

Black Key... no chip.

I imagine it is probably in Northern Ontario by now, or being used as someones joy ride until they get bored with it. They will park it someplace and 2 months from now I will get a phone call.

This happened to my Nephews Lancer (old Dodge product... 1985..ish). It was gone for 2 months then they found it in Toronto at Airport parking... he had to go pick it up and pay big $ to get it out of parking. Seats where all covered in cigarette burns basically a wreck inside. He scraped it.

There are security cameras at work... but they are useless.

A person walks up to my truck... is in it in 30 seconds and 2 minutes later drives away.

My truck has a parking transponder so the security gate opens when he drives up to it... and I am assuming it is a he.

Its weird that it got stolen but I guess it depends if you have security or not. One day in my truck I locked it with my key fob and before I shut the door I forgot I needed to get gas so I got in my truck and started it but it shut right back off it did it 3 times then I noticed it was flashing security on my dash then I put it together lol
