Apparently if you drill a small hole in the door handle, under where you lift, you can take a screwdriver and pop it open real easy. Never done it myself but a friend did on his truck.
Best part is, unless you really look you can't see the hole.

call a 24 hour locksmith and they'll send a guy out with a little airbag thing and a little strap with a loop on the end.
The airbag seperates the door up top without damaging anything and the little strap thing loops around the latch and he pops it up.
$35 didn't cause any problems on my truck.

Well, I got in last night finally..we took a screwdriver and pryed the door back just enough to fit a 1/8" diameter piece of aluminum wire in through the crack and we were able to push the button on the door and unlock it that way. It was either that, or call the nearest locksmith which was 40 miles away.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I just got the windshield replaced two days ago and I have to drive 350 miles today so I really didn't want to break a window to get in.

The lock guy that got mine open says go after the right side door. There isn't as much stuff in it. It took him about 2 minutes. He used a flat 1/2-3/4 in wide shim like thing about 2 feet long with a flat U on the bottom. He just poked it between the glass and the rubber about 6 inches from the end and pulled up and presto ...open sez me.
$45.

As usual, Im late than never but that is why when I get a vehicle, the first thing I do is get a spare key made an carry it in my wallet, just in case.

Now that your back into your truck. Take a tip from every hunter I know. make two extra keys.
put one key on a locking D-ring and locate that under your truck somewhere. The location should be somewhere out of sight (even looking under the truck). It also needs to be in some place that wont be damaged offroading.
Put the other key in your wallet or on a second key ring in your pocket.

reach down on right hip where another key ring is attached, remove key ring, search through second large selection of keys and locate spare Dodge truck key, insert into door lock and unlock door. I know, smart............
Don't feel bad, I through my keys away in the trash can at the local parts store. Was there for two hours.....had called the locksmith, he was making a key for me when me and my daughter were talking and found the empty candy wrapper in my pocket.....the pocket that usually houses my keys and I wondered why I had the empty wrapper in there and realized I through the keys out instead of the wrapper.....where's my sign..oohhhh here it is

If you have AAA, you can call them for a "Lockout" call, and the tow truck will show up with a Slim Jim.
Open in 5 minutes.
I paid my annual fee in Maps alone, let alone flat tire changes, dead battery calls, and yes, a lock out or two.

Around here any tow truck driver will have all of the required tools. I locked myself out of my Jeep Liberty TWICE and both times the tow truck drivers had the door open in less than a minute.
