It depends does your truck have the remote keyless entry If it does without a working FOB I think it will have to be done at a dealer if the truck has it

You need to find out if the truck is equipped with remote door locks first.

I know if you have manual locks you'd have to swap it all. That's whats holding me back too (Manual windows and locks. yay...)

Do you have key lock cylinders on both doors or just the driver's door? This is usually an indicator if it was built with it or not.

I might be able to tell by VIN if you'd like to send it this way.

Was following this thread - so, mine has key lock on only the driver's door.
Does this mean it is capable of remote keyless , or would I need a complete swap ?
