If this is an after market alarm sounds like they do not have the door trigger connected to the correct wires.

RKE is just that nothing but keyless entry. The Sentry theft deter is a chip in the key or fob. Thats not a real alarm. Supposedly the need that ket to start the truck. Thats why is called theft deter

Could be the panic feature malfunctioning or someone piggy backed an alarm on to the factory key less entry.
