I'm having this problem too...you need two programmed keys in order to program the remote start module to start the truck without a key present. If you have 1 key you need a dealer/locksmith to program the second. If you have 2 keys (not cloned keys, has to be 2 keys with different chips) you can program more keys by yourself.

if the light is flashing in sequences of 2 then it is in valet mode. Insert key to run and click unlock and lock together over and over again till it shuts off

Yeah I switched it out in valet mode. Try doing the program sequence listed above with both keys and immediately activate the remote start. It worked for me.

Take the first key, turn it to the on position (without starting) for about a second and then back off.

Do the same thing immediately with the second key

Take the second key out and activate the remote start function. Should fire right up.

Well, I just got my key made yesterday and tried to reprogram today. it is not working for some reason. I am not sure what to do here. I dont know what the bypass module looks like to pull it out. What will pulling it out do?

Did you reset the system like he did before trying to reprogram? I may be wrong and this may have no effect, but disconnect your battery, wait 10 seconds, reconnect your battery and then try to program, there is a chance that may work! Best of luck let me know what happens!
