Unlock automatic locks when car goes to park?
Hey guys! I am beginning to love this forum more and more! You all seem to be pretty knowledgeable about these trucks.
My question today (actually there's two, but I'll leave that to another thread
) is about the automatic locks. I want to be able to put the truck in park and have all of the doors unlock. How do I get it to do this? I hate getting out of the truck and try to open the back door and have it be locked on me. I know this must be some sort of child lock thing, but I want all locks to unlock once the car goes into park.
Any insight is much appreciated :-)
Thank you.

Yep the feature is accessible by following the steps below. Its also in your owners manual if you have one, on page 30. 
Auto Unlock Feature
This feature unlocks all the doors of the vehicle when any
door is opened. The following must be met:
• The doors of the vehicle must be locked automatically
by the Automatic Door Lock feature.
• The vehicle is in P (Park) and the ignition switch is in
any key position.
This feature will not operate if any manual operation of a
door lock switch has occurred
NOTE: This customer programmable feature is enabled
when your vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant.
Auto Unlock Feature Programming
Customer Programming sequence to disable or enable:
1. Enter your vehicle and close all doors.
2. Fasten your seat belt (fastening the seat belt will cancel
any chiming that may be confusing during this programming
procedure).
3. Insert the key into the ignition.
4. Within 15 seconds, cycle the key from the OFF position
to the ON position a minimum of four times; ending in
the ON position (do not start the engine)
5. Within 30 seconds, press the driver’s door lock switch
in the UNLOCK direction.
6. A single chime will sound to indicate the feature has
been changed.
7. To reactivate the feature, repeat the above steps.
8. If a chime is not heard, program mode was canceled
before the feature could be changed. If necessary repeat
the above procedure.
