Best Answer

On most American trucks, there is a steering wheel lock associated with the ignition key, so hot wiring the vehicle may start the engine, but it won't allow you to steer the vehicle.

You may have to engage the services of a locksmith ... and have the ignition lock replaced by a mechanic. Eventually you are going to need to have keys made anyway.

turn ignition on (do not start), slowly press the gas pedal to the floor for one second, release for one second, gas to the floor again, release again, gas to the floor for a 3rd time, release. Turn key off, turn key on, start truck. If you did this right, it will reset the oil life.

How do you get your spare tire out from under your truck?

that all depends on what make of truck you have. some have a bolt that needs to be removed to allow wheel carrier to drop. some have a cable that cranks down ,and ford from at least year 2000, has a key, that fits on end of jack handle that fits into spare tire crank to wind down te wheel. if this key is lost, you will have to purchase a new one ,and hope you have the proper key number to do this. on a used truck i just purchased, the key was missing,but the registration card was still in truck.we did try the tire key from 8 other ford trucks but not one of them matched,so a quick phone call with the number on the card and $22-oo laters, i have the correct key ,for spare tire. without that key, the only wy to g et spare out is to cut the cable.
