M915 key code?

[LanceRobson]

I've got an M915 to pick up and am prepared to change out the lock switch but does anyone have the key code for the original lock?

Thanks

My 915 that I picked up from NY has some info on it. The key brand is Strattec, it is marked "C250" and under that "B". It is not the same as my m1009. Hope that helps, let us know how it goes. Did you get a staight 915 or A1? There were some good deals in NY, if I had been closer I would have bought a couple more. All I had to do to mine was add antifreeze, it was clear empty.

I know, old thread, but are all the 915/916/920 keys the same?
And if so, is that the correct key code?

my 915 and 915a1 share the same key, I got the m919 first and keyless so I broke it so I could use a screwdriver to start it so I cant try one in it.

The key for my M920 fits all my M915A1's, as well as every one at the Jeff City lot (25+), as well as several M916's that I have tried.

So, yes, they are interchangable.

Thanks guys, exactly what I was looking for!

If you need one, I can have a copy made and mail it to you.

The M911s and freightliners have differrent keys than the M 915 & other crane carrier Am General varients, but they are all supposed to be keyed alike. However, it was possible to find individual trucks that had been rekeyed with different codes for some reason and then you had to have the key for that truck to move it.

There is a direct replacement starter switch:

AIRTEX 1S6152

It has the correct connectors on it to be a direct swap. The key will be different but it will get the job done. Since I've seen a few M915 family trucks that had had the ignition switch monkeyed with ofrpulled out of the dash, I'd carry one on every M915 pick up.

Ha, funny that I thought that strattec key sounded familiar. I had to replace the ignition in my old cj5 a few times.
I doubt I will be going for a freightliner. And if the AM General series run the same key, that is good enough for me for now.
And thanks for the part number Lance! Funny part, I might HAVE one of those sitting in my piles of parts!

Wow, for once, an old post was dug up, and some good solid info was added to it!
