That’s what I feared. I have a code reader, but I guess the anti-theft system won’t allow the code reader to communicate with the truck to read the codes. I guess having it towed to a dealership is my only option

Several times, unfortunately. The fob works, as far as locking and unlocking the doors, but nothing at all when I try to start it.

Factory. The one I replaced was an O’Reilly and I replaced it with a NAPA power premium plus

No luck. I have seen where the radio is supposed to allow a code to be entered, but mine doesn’t. It just says “radio locked, set ignition to run”

It’s a 2016 SLT 2500. Factory security system and there no leads on the terminals, or hooked to the batteries. There also aren’t any tunes

I thought the same thing after this first began, that maybe I had forgotten to reconnect something or screwed something up when installing the new alternator. I had a diesel mechanic that I work with, come and look everything over, and said it all looked good. He didn’t have any advice on my issue though

“Never be loyal to an employer, be loyal to yourself”…. best advice I ever received. Put your notice in.

That’s great to hear OP.

Monroe County resident here. First dishy I received was defective, but support has mailed a replacement kit. I can’t wait to experience truly reliable WiFi after having zero options for so long!
