Update on my Truck

I believe that the immobilizer bypass requires a fully operational PATS system to work.
When you swap from the 2001+ Ranger PCM to the 98~01 5.0L Explorer PCM, you are eliminating an essential component of PATS, the PATS Control Module. The Ranger PCM has that module's functions onboard; the Explorer PCM is wired to an external PATS module.
Without the PATS Module, the PATS system cannot communicate with the Explorer PCM in any way and the PCM must have authorization from the PATS Module before it will supply spark and fuel. AFAIK, the immobilizer bypass cannot change that.

All of this could be swapped but I'm sure adding the PATS Control Module and changing the transceiver and keys would be cheaper/easier.

But none the less, that sounds like it'll be a sick setup.
