i have a 2000 f150 xl 4x4 with odometer black out problem. dealer wants $600 to fix but told me if i removed the cluster the truck may not start because of the code/chip in the key. is this true? does this have an effect on my truck or not. i see people here have done this fix themselves and own a 2000 f150. want to make sure before i get myself into a mess.
