reflash or reprogram a gm ecm is done with a tech2 gm scan tool only!
take it to a dealership and pay the 80bux or sit on here all day and waste your time.
The dealership has the latest software downloaded everyday and they can find out what is wrong very easily.

if the security light is going off you need to fix that first, your truck will do exactly as described start and immediately shut off if there is a problem with your passlock function. put key in and turn it on until light goes off. turn off and back on until goes off again and do one more time and see what it does.
