replace and reprogram security module
in an attempt to extend the keyfob range to further than quite literally 10 feet from my truck, i seem to have ruined the wireless receiver portion of my bsm. is there any known way to reprogram a replacement with forscan or something so it plays nice with the truck, or is going to the dealer a requirement?

wanted to follow up in case someone else searches or googles a question like this (since no one bothered to respond):
i did not have to do any programming to make the new module work, unless i got very lucky getting a replacement module pulled from a sister truck to mine configured exactly the same it seems that dealer programming is not necessary. all i did was remove the back seat and replace the module, program a new door code and my key fobs, and that was it. didnt have to do anything with the keys/ignition. everything worked as it was, door locks, pats (i dont think the security module is part of the pats system), etc. unfortunately the terrible range is as it was too

FYI, you're talking about keyless entry. It's not part of any security system per se. It's simply designed to allow use of a push button on the exterior to open the vehicle as opposed to using a key or fob.
