As I said more than once. The truck has to be locked for remote start to work.
ETA: They probably have a white board in break room and added one more tally in that column.
I tried it when it was locked.
I tried it when it was unlocked.
I tried it in a box.
I tried when I locked it last night.
I tried it when I didn't lock it last night.
I tried so many things but I didn't think there would be any other combination of commands when the button has instructions written on it. I didn't read the manual and I think there is room for improvement on their end.

Try 2nd fob OR replace battery in fob. Could also be interference affecting fob frequency. Try remote starting from different locations outside. Also remember that Max of two remote starts can be done prior to actually starting and placing dial into a gear (R/D).
Good advice will try the other fab, truck only 7 months old, 3500miles but fab could of been sitting around for a while, could of had a weak battery installed in fab.
