Sorry, mine only has the "passive anti-theft" capability. I don't know anything about a dealer installed alarm. Isn't there some kind of user manual with maybe, a troubleshooting guide?

Was it an aftermarket alarm system installed by a dealer?
Do you have any manuals on it?
If its an after market installed on the truck the back up battery may need replacing. Its located in the alarm processor box.
Or.
It may need to go through a reset procedure due to the electrical system being worked on.

If it's a 2008 truck, and the dealer installed the alarm, it should still be under warranty. I would take it to the dealer and have him fix the problem. ANYTHING you do will probably void the warranty!

I totally agree with Jack on bringing back to the dealer who installed it.
The only problem I forsee is that if it's aftermarket the warranty only might be limited to a year since it's an add on. But you won't know that until you call or bring the truck there.
