I spent the weekend working on the truck and after double-checking everything in the engine compartment, I was finally ready to start it! I primed the fuel system, but all the motor would just crank. I hooked up the scanner and had a P0633 Skim Key Not Programmed IN PCM...UGGGHHHHH! I realized that the shortbed truck did not come equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), which is normally in the steering column. What was happening, was the ECM was trying to look for the SKIM, but since it wasn't on this truck now, it wouldn't start. I shot an e-mail to Bob at Smarty and told him my situation and asked if he could send me a recovery file to match my non-SKIM truck. I know he's a busy man, but he took time out of his day to e-mail me a file and then wished me good luck.

I got some time after work to hook the Smarty up and get this new file programmed into it and then I re-programmed my truck. She fired right up, which put a HUGE smile on my face! Just wanted to publicly thank Bob Wagner for his quick help...THANKS BOB!!!

All I have to do now is drill the holes in the upper airbag mount, and she'll be ready for a test-drive! I can't freaking wait! Here's a lil vid of the triple turbo motor running in the shortbed!
