The instructions could have been clearer

The instructions were pretty sober. Luckily, I'm only slightly mechanical. The locking cylinder itself is of significantly worse quality than the original. I had a hard time turning the key when I first installed it and even now it takes some force. The software part was pretty easy.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • No

Wrong instructions best in spares

I finally got around to installing it today, or should I say I tried. I looked in the box when I received it but didn't look at the instructions. If so, I would return the item. The instructions were for removing and replacing the switch - not a word about the ignition lock cylinder. I had to turn to YouTube videos for instructions. I will try again tomorrow.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • There are downsides

Make sure you're solving the correct problem

I'm sure this would work great - it would look identical to what I removed. Another note: if you can pull the key out of the ignition cylinder, the first thing you should do is check that your shifter reads park (even if it's technically in park, the readout might not show one bit). The ignition switch turned out to be my problem.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Speed

Excellent kit for replacing the lock cylinder with programmer.

This is required for the Ford DIY key cylinder replacement kit supplied with the programmer. READ and FOLLOW the instruction manual. The only problem I had with this set is OM (Operator Malfunction). I was in a hurry and missed a step. Called Dorman support and got instructions on how to fix the correct installation. The truck is running great now. 5 star technical support and product. Thanks Dorman.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

I like the price and the process

I like the product, works very well, the instructions can be a bit rough to understand and run the program. I suggest reading them twice before proceeding with the process what I have found is that the instructions were great but to get the key program to work I had to unscrew the transponder ring on this steering column for it to work , put the key in the ring passed during the programming process and then it worked perfectly

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Security
