Just in case anyone has their Sentry Key Remote Entry lock up, here is the TSB (2007-2008) for this issue:

TSB_08-007-08

My wife was driving to work on Thursday. She stopped to pick up something to drink. Locked truck. On her way out of store, unlocked truck. Put key in ignition to crank and nothing. Power to truck was fine. Red LED light on dash is solid. Now remote entry not working at all. WCM/SKREEM is locked up. Flat bedded to dealer and fixed with new part number.

Seems that static electricity from placing the key into the ignition can cause the unit to lock up. Supposedly new revision of WCM/SKREEM addresses this issue. Service writer said they've done a few replacements in the last two months.

Thanks folks! Warranty covered it, so that was nice.

Truck is running fine now. Was tweaking some of my transmission shifts today. That's always a fun! :)
