Default RE: theft

Unfortunately, no, or maybe in's actually a good thing. If he got the lock cylinder out, the PATS system was the only thing keeping him from getting the truck. You need a new lock cylinder (hopefully the crook didn't damage the steering column...)and need to get 2 keys programmed for it to run again. If you have one key, you can re-use it but will still need to buy one more and have it cut. Bring the old key with you when you go to get the other key and cylinder done.

If you have insurance (full) it will pay for this. The cylinder will run around 40.00, key around 30.00 and the key programming probably near 90.00.
