Hey, if that truck has the PATS (passive anti-theft system) then you will probably have to get it programmed at the dealer. The computer is programmed to check and verify that the key you are using is the one issued with the truck from the factory. If it detects an odd key, it will disable the ignition. My guess is that your truck won't start because of the PATS system.
