The key under the dash may not have fit the locks but it was never intended too. The original owner just found a key and had it programmed into the ECU so it could be used with the remote start cheater. Now when you went to the dealer, they cleared ALL the keys from the ECU and added your one key plus the second one you got to the ECU. Had you known that you could have added that other one back in but they are commonly overlooked. Hope that helps
The key you chucked in the trash that was under the dash isn't meant to turn the ignition or locks, it's to ensure that if someone broke into the truck they don't have a key to start the truck.....

Oh. That makes sense. I think I'll chop up the grooves on the new key I put in that box
I think you should be ok as there are so many of these trucks I'd imagine they are less desirable to steal 😅now I've said that someone will try! 😬
