Early super dutys are super easy to break into and more importantly the only trucks I think that weren't chipped keys in the early 2000s.
Could start my 03 with a screwdriver after jimmy ing in with a coat hanger in about 30 sec. When it was stolen I had to jam a new screwdriver in the ignition when I recovered it. They took theirs and all mine in the tool box lol. I used to leave a coat hanger in the back for when I locked my keys in rather than a hidden spare key
Not sure what year ford finally chipped the ignition keys on the super dutys.
2008. That is why the 2007 and earlier Superduty is so popular to steal. Here in Texas, police say the stolen trucks get taken over the border into Mexico. Ford made a whole bunch of the 1999 to 2007 Superduty trucks, so they are everywhere.
