But it unlocks when you close the door?
Mine only locks when I put it in drive?
I might be different from different years. Mine is an 06.

Yea say you go out in the morning to warm up the truck. As soon as you turn on the power the doors lock. I thought this should only be implemented when put into drive or when your reach a certain speed.

I've done this and have no problems with my truck locking. 
Owners manuals contain a lot of information.
Owners manuals contain a lot of information.
Autolock (if equipped)
The autolock feature is available on automatic transmission vehicles with
power locking. This feature will lock all the doors when:
• all the doors are closed,
• the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position,
• you shift into any gear putting the vehicle in motion, and
• the brake pedal is released and the vehicle attains a speed greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
The autolock feature repeats when:
• any door is opened then closed while the ignition is in the 3 (ON)
position, and
• the brake pedal is released and the vehicle attains a speed greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Deactivating/activating autolock
There are four methods to enable/disable this feature: One is through
your authorized dealer, the second with a power door unlock/lock
sequence, the third with the keypad, and the fourth using the message
center (if equipped).
Before following the activation or deactivation procedures, unlock all
doors using the power door lock/unlock control and ensure all vehicle
doors are closed.
Power door unlock/lock procedure
You must complete Steps 1–5 within
30 seconds, or the procedure will
have to be repeated. If the
procedure needs to be repeated,
you must wait a minimum of 30
seconds to begin again.
1. Turn the ignition to the 3 (ON)
position, then press the control
three times.
2. Turn the ignition to the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position, then press the
control three times.
3. Turn the ignition to the 3 (ON) position; the horn will chirp to
indicate the driver configuration mode has been activated.
4. Within five seconds, press then the control. Note: One horn
chirp should be heard, indicating the system has been disabled.
Conversely, a horn chirp followed by a honk will indicate the system is
enabled. Pressing the control then the control will turn the
feature ON if it was previously OFF, or OFF if it was previously ON. The
horn will chirp once if autolock was deactivated or twice (one short
chirp and one long honk) if autolock was activated.
5. Turn the ignition to the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position to exit programming.
Note: After exiting the driver configuration mode, the horn will chirp
once to indicate a feature has been activated/deactivated.
Keyless entry key pad procedure
1. Turn the ignition to the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position.
2. Close all the doors.
3. Enter 5–digit entry code
4. Press and hold the 7 • 8. While holding the 7 • 8 press the 3 • 4.
5. Release the 3 • 4.
6. Release the 7 • 8.
The user should receive a horn chirp to indicate the system has been
disabled or a chirp followed by a honk to indicate the system has been
enabled.

autolocks feature using the message center, refer to Message center in
the Driver Controls chapter.

well, a viper smartstart would prove useful here.
my smart start can be unlocked from anywhere I have cell phone signal, so if I accidentally lock my keys in the truck and have my cell phone, or can find someone with an android, iphone or blackberry, i'm good.
this has actually saved me twice now, thankfully.

My doors won't lock unless you're moving, like in the list above. Additionally, it's pretty damned hard to lock your keys in these trucks unless you're deliberately trying to. For instance, if the key's in the ignition with the truck off and you lock the door, they will automatically unlock.

hmm, my 05 won't let me lock the keys in. If the truck is started and in park I can lock the doors, get out, and when I try to shut them they automatically unlock. I have to press the two keys on the keypad to get the truck to lock while running.
