I have an 04 Sierra base model.

I'm looking to put a remote starter in it.

Do I need a by-pass part to trick the truck to thinking a key is in it?

Power Locks.

 

I called a dealership & they said with a base model & that year it does not have a chip.

.. does that mean there is no PassLock chip at all... or does it mean the key cylinder has the old PassLock system...??

there is still a passlock system in all gm vehicles, you must get a bypass kit to bypass the passlock system, what the bypass kit does it temporarily bypass the oem passlock system allowing the vehicle to start via remote. i just put one in my 06 gmc sierra base model truck that has windows and locks. the difference between what kind of bypass kit you want to get depends on the options you want and if your going to be unlocking and locking the doors with the new aftermarket system or not, you will not need to leave a key in the ignition, i went with XK01 bypass kit from DEI, the best prices i could find were on ebay for 25 shipped, the best part about the xk01 is that its upgradeable if you want more options in the future and theres alot less splicing of wires to the truck because everything runs through the data line in pin 2 (violet wire) of the OBDII connector under the drivers side dash board.

So how does the bypass & remote started connect to each other?

 

basically yes the remote start controller wires splice to the wires from the bypass module, power and ground can be shared, purple wire from the bypass splices into pin 2 of OBDII connector under driver side dash, no need to even connect siren or light outputs from the aftermarket remote start controller because with the xk01 bypass it will control the lights and horn like an oem gm keyless would which is why the bypass kit saves you time on installation. if you go to that link i posted you can look up the wiring diagram for xk01 bypass to aftermarket remote start/alarm. i think your going to want to look under the amdl firmware if i remember correctly.

This does not state that it is for remote starter bypass?

Windows & Locks.

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
