<sorry for the duplicate post - I got an error when I hit post the 1st time>

 

Hi everyone. Just bought my first new truck ever! - a 2008 Silverado 1500 WT 4.8L, trailering package . I love it! Blew my old 94 S-10's head gasket a few weeks back and couldn't pass up the deals.

 

I already LOVE this SITE! the DIC upgrade panel is on order. My truck already has tire pressure monitoring and with the new panel, I will have all the DIC buttons, so I can access the "relearn remotes" menu right? I've read this posthere and am wondering if I will just be able to buy some oem remotes and program them myself? Or do I need to give the general his due, and have the dealer "flash" the vehicle for the remote entry fobs/programming to work? I don't really want/need the remote start. I THINK from reading a bunch of posts that I need a lot of extra wiring/sensors on hood etc. to add remote start.

 

would anyone be willing to help figure this out? Anyone else done it?

 

Many thanks for the great site! :lol:

I'm in the same boat as you, AU3 and 5B5 but no AU0. I already added the DIC controls and went outside to see if I could see anywhere in the menus a way to learn the remote. The only option that was close was "Relearn Tire Positions."

 

Edit: Found the instructions to program the fob... however the PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY option is NOT in the menu. I assume I will need to take the truck to the dealer to have it reprogrammed by a Tech2 to add this option to the menu. Then, I can program the remote to the truck and voila!

 

 

1. Insert Key and turn to ON position so you can access Driver Information Center

 

2. Press the vehicle information button until

PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY displays

 

3. Press the set/reset button until

REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE displays

 

4. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the first keyless remote at the same

time for approximatley 15 seconds. A chime will sound indicating that the remote is

programmed.

 

5. To program additional remotes at this time repeat step 3.

This vehicle can have a maximum of eight remotes programmed

 

6. To exit programming mode turn key off and remove key.

Test remote(s).

I have an appointment with the dealer on Monday to program that option in, per Techline bulletin #2196842. $84 is the cost, but only if it works successfully.

UPDATE... got the dealer to do the reprogram today. Printed out the Techline doc and brought it in. Took about an hour and they charged $83. Works great! They said that GM charged them $50 for the calibration, and that in the future they will charge the customer more than $83 for it. Also, you still don't have the "program remotes" option in the menu, so any future remotes will need to be programmed by someone with a Tech2. HTH.

Has anyone else done this? If so, do your approach lights work? When I press UNLOCK on the remote, no lights turn on at all. That is frustrating, as I'd like to have the exterior lights illuminate so I can tell that it got the signal.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
