Its safe to say the dealer will probably charge you at least 1hr labor. When I added my keypad to my '10 a few years ago, there was no inexpensive way to program yourself at home. I called the dealer and they said they would charge 30 min labor. This is a tough job to have the dealer do because it is an unusual request. You interface with the service advisor at the front and the technician in the back has no clue what you need done. I ended up just walking in the shop and talked to the technician, who told me that this was not going to work. I insisted that he do it anyway and it worked. It took 10 min to complete. When I went to the cashier, they wanted to charge me 1hr labor. I fought them and said they quoted me 30 min.
Fast forward to 2018, you can do this at home and avoid the hassle at the dealer. It will cost you around $20 + your time. You need an obd adapter and some free software. The obd adapter needs internal wires (compared to a compact one that is built with pins that are soldered into the circuit board). I have a Konnwei KW902 that works great for this purpose.
On a '10 truck, the module that controls the keypad is called the GEM and is on the ms-can network. You need to modify your obd adapter to access the ms-can by adding a switch. Follow these directions: http://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4
Once you get your adapter modified, use forscan software to make the change. http://www.forscan.org/

Yes, you can make the programming change before installing the keypad. The truck will still drive. The cable you found will work, though I prefer cord free Bluetooth ... I keep it in my truck all the time and can use an android phone to run forscan.

I know on the 2011 & 2012 it is BCM & not GEM.
(Actually, I need to DISABLE the code bc someone has the master code & can enter my vehicle.)
TIA.

I am curious too if this can be activated from home now on my 2013 STX model with the above method? I’d rather do it myself then go into the dealership who has horrible service where I live.

You should be able to disable it. Looking at the 11-14 as built options, you can set the following on the BCM. Worst case scenario, just disconnect the wiring to the keypad if you are in a pinch and worried about someone entering your truck. Note, if you want a new master code, you can buy a new BCM. They each come with a master code burned in.
BCM 726-15-01
0001 0101 46-Door keypad enabled
xxx0 xxxx xx-door keypad disabled
BCM 726-15-01
0001 0101 46-Door keypad enabled
xxx0 xxxx xx-door keypad disabled
