Exterior Door Handle Upgrade?
On my 2005 XLT 5.4L 4x4 SCab, my exterior door handle does not have the keypad. I have searched the forums and i could not find exactly what i was looking for. I have searched numerous ford parts websites and can't find a replacement door handle that has the keypad built in. I know that it should not be that hard to install and i understand i am taking the risk of having to take it to the dealer to get it programmed. Anybody know where I can get it and how much it would cost?

They're not that hard to install. There are a few threads on this site about how to swap them out. Here's the best I've seen on this site:
https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...hlight=mark+lt
If your truck is a color that is offered on the Mark LT truck then you can get the painted handles w/ the chrome pulls.; Several people on here have made that swap.

You can order the stock, matte black handles also. The process of changing them would be exactly the same. I was just throwing out the idea of the LT handles. Try Fordparts.com . The handle w/ the keyless entry is $49.

That's kinda funny. It was burnt out but had never been used 
I guess it happens.I changed out all of my handles to the LT handles also. It's not nearly as difficult as I thought it'd be. BTW, Incubus I really like your truck. Where did you get the Roush Valance and if you dont mind, about what can I expect to pay for it? So far the cheapest I've found it for was $373 and a lot of places for $388 and up. Thanks.

hey Incubus, so your xlt didnt come with the keypad and you installed it yourself? if yes, was it a simple plug and play and how did you get the keypad code? Thanks

i did have keyless entry but i didnt get my owners manual i got one from a different truck bc the dealer couldnt find mine. I now have a viper alarm but still want the keypad incase i lock my keys in there, it happened already in my dads truck.
