99 F250 automatic door locks

[LindellProStaf]

Ok here is another question about my F-250. I don't like those automatic door locks. I have had the truck for years and my buddy just told me that you can program them so they don't lock automatically. Is that true? Does anyone know how to do that if it is possible???

It should be in the owners manual if you still have it.

Hey that is great 4wanderingeyes I really appreciate that. I really didn't think they were programmable but thought I would ask on here. I have always just read the fishing and related threads until recently I started reading the cooking (smoking) threads too. Just got the idea to try this and I am very impressed. What a great site and great guys with info. Thanks a lot. I will try in a day or two. I will let you know how it worked.
