you need to lock the doors and get out of the vehicle. Shut the door. Use the key to unlock the door. Alarm should turn off. Try both front doors.

Unless this is not the key that the truck came with, in which case...you're screwed and need to get a key programmed.

I was told you could do it yourself

As I recall you turn the key to the RUN position, then hold the unlock for 30sec?

I thinks that's it

I looked them up to get for myself some places provide instructions with them
