I know there's an air bag module plugged under the passenger seat, I didn't know there was one under the driver's seat. I haven't checked any fuses yet. Would it be in the fuse panel or under the Hood? I assume it would be marked srs or something similar?

There should be one under both seats...I think the fuse is in the fuse panel inside the truck if I remember correctly, not sure if it's marked srs or air bag?

I checked finally. Both under seat modules are plugged in, and the srs fuse is under the Hood and it's good. When I turn the key, before cranking, the air bag comes on then goes off, but once I start it, the light comes on and stays on.

Try unplugging all the wires under the seats and then plug them back in. And while you're there check inside them for corrosion. If not that it might be one of your sensors unplugged or bad. Wouldn't surprise me that one came unplugged with all the work you've had done. I've had plenty of mechanics get a connector half plugged in and it falls apart later.

I unplugged and replugged the ones under the seat. Isn't there one in front of he radiator?

Theres one or 2 sensors in the front but I think they're on the frame down low. Google it!
Edit: looks like they're on the radiator support. Ahhh that's what those things were- I just had my radiator support out and r&r'd two sensors but didn't realize they were impact sensors.
"There are 2 impact sensors up front on the bottom of the radiator support. the diagnostic module is also a sensor. (I would think it would be the least likely to go out) To unplug the ones on the radiator support pull the orange retainer clip out and then unplug the yellow connector (After the battery is disconnected) If memory serves me well they are held on with inverted torx bolts. (Loosen then a little and slide the sensor to remove)"

Ahhh, radiator support! I couldn't think what it was called! Lol. I'll just ask the mechanic to check it out tomorrow, as I'm letting him do the Tb. I'll bet it's gonna be one of those 2 sensors that are bad. I read somewhere on here that they do go bad over time. Funny, the 05 express van I just bought also has the air bag light on.

Maybe it's you and not the vehicles...
