He called around 9:15 at night from a laundromat parking lot in Nyeland Acres. Overnight janitorial shift, truck wouldn't start, next building by midnight. Not a great situation.
When I pulled in, he had already tried everything. Turn the key, nothing fires. The engine would crank but immediately cut out, every single time. Classic immobilizer behavior on a truck this age, but you don't just assume that. Weak battery, corroded connection, bad ground, failing ignition switch, all of those can look similar from the outside.
I checked the battery first. It was low but not dead, enough to crank. Then I looked at the key. He'd had a spare cut at a hardware store a few months back and had been using that as his primary. The original was sitting at home. The copy was cut right, looked fine, but the chip inside was never programmed to the truck. He'd been lucky it started at all, until it wasn't.
I pulled out my programmer, got the truck's immobilizer enrolled with a properly chipped key cut to match his ignition, and the Dakota fired up clean on the first turn.
He texted me from his next job site a little after midnight. The dealer, if they could have seen him the next day at all, would have taken the morning and cost him a good chunk more. On-site, same night, truck running in time to matter.

“I needed two keys made for my Honda Element. Friendly, fast, fair pricing, and far better than any other locksmith I have used in the area. Best service by far.”
“I lost my Honda Passport key and called EZ Car Keyz. He came out and made a new key in under five minutes. Legendary service.”
“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
