You have to go to a dealer to get it programmed. If you had two keys, you could use an ignition key sequence to program the blank. Unfortunately, without a properly programmed chip, the key won't work.

You can also go to a locksmith, it's sometimes cheaper. Where I work we charge $50.00 for the key and $50.00 to program it if you only have one. You dont want to know the cost if you lose both.

I wonder if it is possible to switch out the key ignition for a key ignition cylinder from a pre-1997 truck?
