Well, after driving mine a while with VATS disable I can say for sure....
It doesn't actually disable anything!
After so many starts, my truck is still going into that mode where
I have to wait 10 minutes so I can start it up again.
My truck was repossessed from it's previous owner so
they didn't have the original keys and I think I'm going
to need to make the system "re-learn" so I can hopefully
get this resolved once and for all.
Anybody know the exact instructions to make the
Disable Theft Deterrent System "re-learn"?
(truck specs listed below...)
