I've tried the instructions for other models, but my receiver won't respond after the on/off, on/off. I checked with GM using VIN to verify truck does have keyless entry. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to AF have you tried this procedure. It is the correct one for your 98 Silverado.
Welcome to AF.
Transmitter Programming
If they key is in the ON position during the programming procedure, the horn chirp will be disabled, if the key is in the OFF position, the horn chirp will be enabled. The horn will chirp when the lock button is pressed two times.
When reprogramming the remote control door lock reciever, All transmitters must be programmed at this time in order for the transmitters to operate the vehicle. Transmitters not programed at this time will not work and the procedure will have to be redone with all the transmitters.
Ground pin 4 to pin 8 of the data link connector (DLC). The receiver will respond by locking and unlocking the doors, and activating the liftgate window release (if equipped) within 2 seconds.
Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on the first transmitter to be programmed until the locks cycle (approximately 10 seconds).
Repeat step 2 for up to four total transmitters to be programmed (if available). The receiver will respond by locking and unlocking the doors and activating the liftgate window release (if equipped) within 2 seconds.
Remove the ground applied to the DLC.
Lock and unlock the doors in order to verify the transmitter operation.
Activate the rear window release in order to verify the transmitter operation

Worked like a charm once I found the pin-out for the DLC. Just FYI for anyone else looking for a remote; my local dealer told me I needed a 16245102 remote. I couldn't find one so I took a chance on a 16245100-29 and it worked just fine. I bought a new one off eBay for $40 less than the dealer. Thanks again John!

Does this process also work on the 99 silverado (new body style)?
