Reset button's didn't come on the stock alarm.

Do you have any information on the alarm system that's installed?

are you certain? Maybe reset is the wrong word. There is a button at the bottom of the dash that has to do with the alarm. I know this cause the little red light near the steering column stops blinking when i press it. Maybe its not a reset but somesort of are/disarm. When i purchased the truck years ago the guy i bought it from who was the original owner told me this was the factory alarm.

The factory alarm didnt have a valet switch (reset button, as you called it). They also didnt have a small led drilled into the dash. They had an anti-theft light in the cluster. You have an aftermarket alarm, maybe dealer installed, but not factory.
