did a search for it but don't think there are any threads. Was wondering if there are any locking gas caps for our trucks?

I found one that works fine at walmart

Dealer robbed me for mine. I was pressed for time to get the truck inspected and had forgotten to replace my broken locking gas cap before I went in. So when they're like half way done already they tell me it wont pass with a broken locking gas cap on there, and of course I had no choice but to accept the GENUINE FORD high tech gas cap, for a sum total of almost 30 bucks or 3 times what Ive seen them for in Walmart. Any idea why dealers charge like a 3-400% mark up for these damn things?

search for profit fuel doors on the internet and go to their site they make some really nice ones. Some are remote electrical locking.

Those profit fuel doors kicka$$ !

can't afford it right now though. eventually

guess im going with a locking cap for now...

hate searching or parts on fordpartsonline. very difficult site to navigate.

what type of finish on those profits would i want to have painted? brushed?

On the profit fuel doors I am going to get the no bolt no latch options then i will have them powder coat it black to match the truck so it blends in. Personally I dont like brushed aluminum doors on dark colored Lightnings. I think with all those options and the electric set up its like $350.00. Ya their stuff is top quality they make all the custom fuel doors for the cars that go to the SEMA auto show.
