Sounds like you need the security relearn, I thought that the tune came with instructions on how to do that...I'll see if I can dig it up. Moving this to a different section also...

Yea, that's why I moved it here instead of the tuning section, figured that you'd get more hits

Anyway, I copied and pasted this off of Nelson's website:

1. Insert key, attempt to start the vehicle and leave the key in the ON position.
In some vehicles, the Battery and Security light will blink for several seconds, and then shut off. Then the Security light will then remain ON. Leave the ignition ON until the Security light goes OFF. This will take more than 5 mins.
2. When the Security light goes OFF, turn the ignition to the OFF position.
Leave ignition OFF for 20 Seconds.
3. Attempt to start the vehicle again and leave the key in the ON position.
In some vehicles, the Battery and Security light will blink for several seconds, and then shut off. Then the Security light will then remain ON. Leave the ignition ON until the Security light goes OFF. This will take more than 5 mins.
4. Turn the ignition to the OFF position for 20 Seconds.
5. Attempt to start the vehicle again and leave the key in the ON position.
In some vehicles, the Battery and Security light will blink for several seconds, and then shut off. Then the Security light will then remain ON. Leave the ignition ON until the Security light goes OFF. This will take more than 5 mins.
6. Once this entire procedure has been completed (three times) your vehicle will start on the fourth attempt.

Note: Some vehicles perform the relearn in a different sequence. You may notice your security light, battery light and abs light will alternate. Once the security light is left out of the sequence that is considered one step. Repeat the procedure two more times and on the fourth time your vehicle will start.

IIRC, the first time I swapped in a tuned PCM, I attempted to start it and left the key on for 11 min, then repeated that twice, and on the 4th attempt cranked and started the truck
