Default chip inside key??

so its getting pretty cold over here and so i have to command locks so if i park somewhere i get out and use the other command start to lock it and leave the truck running while im doing w.e.....one of my command locks has a chrysler cut key that i never use, i went to the pool and i went to use that key without knowing that the other dodge cut keys have chips in them to start the truck...i get in my truck and i try start it and it cranks over but it wont start...for like an hour im sitting there thinking whats wrong with my truck....called dodge....called tow truck and i thought my injectors were gone.....i randomly decide to try the other key and whalaaaaa.....i had no idea!!!
and another thing...i went offroading last night, and i went thru a deep puddle that was iced over and busted2 things off front bumper...my fog light cover, and the bottom plastic that runs sideways underneath bumper, i was just wondering if that piece that goes along the bottom of the bumper does any protection to the rad at all??? should i get it replaced?? does anyboyd not have it?? cuz i thought it looks better this way...

I don't think that it does much. Plus it would probably expensive to replace.
