Do you accept ford pats delete (1996+) modules from Alaska?
Yes — we receive modules from Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and the rest of Alaska regularly. With about 0.8 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks & 4x4 SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Alaska.
Is there a ford pats delete (1996+) shop in Anchorage I should use instead?
Most Anchorage shops don't keep the bench equipment for ford pats delete (1996+) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Far-flung — plan ~3-4 days each way, so roughly a 1.5-week round-trip.
Does Alaska vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Alaska has no statewide vehicle safety inspection and no active emissions testing program in most boroughs. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Alaska and federal requirements.
Do I need to send any keys?
No. After PATS delete, any physical key that fits the ignition will start the car. Existing keys still work; the PCM just stops checking for the transponder.
Will the THEFT light still flash on the dashboard?
On most PCMs we can disable the light too. On some early EEC-V PCMs, the THEFT indicator is hardwired to the receiver — if your specific PCM has this, the light may stay on but the engine starts normally. We tell you upfront before shipping back if your PCM falls in this category.
