Well, I wasn't sure if this could work but I tried the security relearn procedure that was used for many Pass Lock cars back then. I didn't know if it was the right procedure for this truck, bring that it wasn't a pellet key. But I gave it a shot. No dice. Scratched my head a bit. Last ditch thought for the evening. Popped in the old BCM. Now it fires right up and goes just fine. As for the security light question, that thing has been on since dad got it 3 years ago, according to him. Put the key in, the light comes on. Start the truck, it goes away. Not sure what to make of that.
It was running the pump without the jumper. I just know that sometimes with a weak pump, running a jumper gives it enough time and maybe just a shade of extra juice to get the pressure up more. The pressure reading was the same with and without it to be clear.
As it sits, dad's happy with it. He only paid about $900.00 for the thing a few years ago. The way truck prices are, it's probably a $30,000 truck now. But he only uses it about once or twice/month. So as long as it runs, he doesn't care. I'll worry about it again when it decides not to run again.
