Is it possible to goto the junk yard, find a truck with keyless entry and remove whatever parts from that truck and put on another truck that does not have keyless entry and if so, what parts would be needed?

I have a 1997 Silverado that has keyless entry and my dad's truck, also a 1997 Silverado, does not. He would like to add it and we are wondering if it can be done from a donor truck?

Thanks.

You sure can....It will cost you a damn fortune, and the wiring will be a nightmare.

Just go to autoloc and but a remote key less entry after market kit. They're at most 200 bones.

  My truck is probably one of the most babied and best maintained out of all the individual trucks discussed here. Premium fluids used, very short fluid change intervals, indoor storage, waxed regularly, low amount of towing with easy loads, minimal off-road use, and most driving done empty or with an 1800 lbs (40% of payload rating) popup Four Wheel Camper in the bed. It’s driven to full warmup every week during non-use periods. All maintenance was performed by a roughly 60 year old mechanical engineer specializing in aircraft propulsion systems that has all the correct tools. You will not find a single maintenance record on Carfax for my truck other than the first oil change done at 300 miles due to my discovery of a dented filter from the factory or shipping. I have full personal records with receipts for fluids and filters. Anyone would be lucky to buy my truck used. Someone refusing to look at my truck due to lack of Carfax records would be missing out on a great truck. I’m not selling, though. My son will get it whenever I am done with it.

  Depends where you're going to be towing. I have a Grand Design 2600RB, which we roll heavy when we go cross country. Into a wind above 5000 feet elevation, it struggles to keep the RPMs down and gets absolutely abysmal mileage. How fast do you like to drive? The truck handles the trailer beautifully, and the engine is great below 2000' in nearly all conditions.

  I like the idea. I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

  I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before. They work. Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago. They all worked fine after the repair. That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM. You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level. So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay
