I would try disconnecting your negative battery terminal for a good solid several minutes and than reconnect. That should reset your computer.

Also check the battery and make sure its fine and dandy. If the battery won't hold much of a charge, our engines don't like it.

Just drive the truck around. The computer needs to teach it's self how to run the engine again.

check all your fuses first, in end of dash and under hood. there is a lot of interaction going on inside the BCM (CTM).

The horn beeps when you hit the fob button but the door lock does NOT work. Then I don't think the computer lost the code. Sounds like the battery doesn't have all the juice it should. Or a fuse for the door lock is blown.
