2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XL 4.0L Cuts out VIN: 1FMZU77E32

Thanks for the responses. Stephen was dead on. All Canadian clusters come with PATS. I took a look at the column to see if the truck was equipped with the halo receiver but it was not. My thinking was I could just program a coulpe of keys into the system. With...
